Just to follow-up … I did it! I placed the order for the Prog NX 7 Charcoal Black – just like you see above – from Sweetwater. They tell me I’m #1 on the runway for that model and color, so if they get more than one, I get my choice. Nice!
Aaaaand … they expect delivery by October 15. That’s a damn sight better than the 4+ months I waited for my Prog 6 order to get cancelled. (Though now, it’s transparently clear why it was cancelled.)
I’m not complaining, though … I’m lucky it wasn’t available. Now I’ll have two Strandbergs with the newest tech … a hardtail, a trem, a six-string, a seven-string. (My first!) Both matched in basic form, weight, and most attributes.
If anyone’s looking, I will be putting my (formerly) beloved Strat up under “For Sale“ pretty soon … I put a lot of love and nice custom mods into it, and who knows … it might appeal to you. Never gigged, never left the apartment.
I’ll update when the new baybay arrives! I am so psyched. I can’t wait to hear those Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups … and the sassafras body. Thanks for putting up with my enthusiasm.
