Hey there,
I believe the most recent person who's received an invite and posted on this thread had signed up June 13. I signed up on June 20, and I'll post as soon as I get an invite; I know everyone's as excited as I am. I've been just reading the owner's and block manuals, the wiki, and researching any questions I have on the forum (all of which have been asked and answered
) in the meantime, to lessen the learning curve when it arrives.
I was just considering too that they're sending out invites for the FM3 concurrently, and since each piece is tested and burned in prior to sending the invitation, that would add to the wait time. This is reminding of Vigier, where every guitar is tested by Patrice Vigier, the founder, before sending it out, and he'll send it back to his crew for fretwork as many times as it takes to ensure its perfect. It's rare to see that kind of dedication to quality, and it really means so much to know that Fractal is taking care with their hardware. Even the idea of the wait list itself seems to be a good way to eliminate the prospect of having to scramble and fight bots to buy one when a new batch of hardware is put for sale.
