This was the last email I got from G66:
DEAR FUTURE AXE-FX II OWNER,
SHORT DELAY
Fractal Audio has, slightly later than planned, now begun with deliveries of the Axe-Fx II. The first small shipment for Europe will be ready in a few days. Soon afterwards we expect the promised larger shipments. As yet there have been no unforeseen problems.
MASSIVE SUPPLY
If this continues to be the case we can expect massive numbers from July onwards. Fractal Audio has never ever produced anything like as many units in the past as it is now doing.
WAITING LIST
Having not delivered any units for several months now and with the announcement of the Axe-Fx II having caused a preordering boom, the waiting list has meanwhile grown very long.
ESTIMATED DELIVERY PLAN
Assuming the shipments arrive according to plan, the following approximate delivery dates should be applicable:
ORDER APPROXIMATE DELIVERY
First small shipment end of June
Ordered before 1st May July/August
Ordered in May August/September
Ordered in June September/October
This is purely a rough estimate, in the assumption that there will be no unforeseen delays. In other words, these dates are not guaranteed!
INFORMATION
We will keep everyone on the waiting list informed about every shipment we receive and approximately two weeks before your unit is available we will contact you personally.
STRESS-FREE HOLIDAY
Should we receive no reply from you we will assume you are on holiday and set your reserved unit aside for a further two weeks, which in total gives you four weeks to react. So, no stress, especially when on holiday.
FIRST IMRESSIONS
In the meantime we have received Europe's very first Axe-Fx II and you can read Jochen's first impressions here:
