The lack of invites is concerning for someone that got the confirmation on 2/3. I ordered a really custom built Rick Turner RN6 in January. It is completed and ready to ship (and that was with changes to almost everything they typically build). Can't believe it is easier to make a custom guitar than a computer box, as high tech as it might be. Starting to consider a AXE8 or 2+. There are some killer deals out there...but I am trying to be patient.I don't disagree with you, but the forum activity does tell us about where we are on the wait list. Just a few people per day posting that they received their invite tells us about where things stand. With the lack of activity during the later half of last week, I'll be curious to know where we are today.

Agreed!Call Turner's shop and ask them what it would cost you to add a new Axe-III to your order. Might be worth it!
Please enlighten me about "the situation". I'm sure there are others on this forum with the same concern. And yes, it's not a belief but a fact that Turner kept me in the loop with production progress throughout the entire process. They even sent me pictures of the rough cutouts of the flamed maple back and sides as well as the old growth redwood for the top and head stock overlay they selected for my approval..So you believe it is taking FAS longer to build your Axe Iii than it took to build your custom guitar?
Lol i would not have the patience to deal with this kind of ...... misunderstanding of the situation
Fractal has to build and test many more Axe IIIs. Mr. Turner has to build and test not nearly as many guitars.I ordered a really custom built Rick Turner RN6 in January.

Or a heavy metal cocktail...Here is a part of the production, to keep you updated. This will later on turn out to be the front panel plate.

The less time Fractal spends here explaining things, the more time they have to build units and get them out the door.
