The "Artist Package" option....

Anyone have any idea when the "Artist Package" option is coming back?

Thanks for the link......

It looks as if they eliminated the maple neck option. You used to be able to get maple/ebony in place of the regular mahogany/rosewood or mahogany/ebony.

Oh well.....

I guess things change with wood availability etc. And maybe changes just for change sake

Actually they first didn't have the maple neck option. Then they added it, and now they are back to their old options. The more things change, the more they stay the same...

Yeah, but they dropped it as an option from the webpage listings for each model.

E.g., on the CU22 page:

ARTIST PACKAGE OPTION

• Currently unavailable for order

I think someone like Shawn noted that it wasn't something they were offering right now since the demand vs production for just regular editions was so high. Hopefully it will come back next year, with more options (like quilt, maple necks, etc). Seems like we have to get a WL run these days for those types of plus-ups.

Wood supply is tough (especially quilt). Prices are through the roof.

One wonders if it'll ever get better.
