The "Official Silver Sky" Thread

Hey folks,

There have been some questions regarding delivery dates, so here is an update.
-When the Silver Sky was first announced to the dealers, we took approximately 1500 orders.
-Once the guitar was officially released to the public, we took an additional 1500 orders.
-We had approximately 375 guitars ready to ship to dealers world wide.
-Considering production capacity, we went from having zero backorder to an eight month backorder within a few days.

This is a game of inches. If your order was one of the first we received, you should be receiving your guitar soon. If your order is closer to the end of that backorder, you won't see your guitar for several months. We appreciate your patience as we work through the backorder without losing sight of our commitment to quality.

Thanks for the update. Have all 375 of the original batch shipped? I have on ordered from Canada’s largest dealer and they said they ordered as soon as they were able, but said it’ll be a month or so to get my guitar. I’m just trying to figure out my odds of getting a case with my order.

That answers a lot of questions. I imagine it's a bit frustrating if you're in the back of the list and now waiting months but that beats getting a guitar full of issues today.

Hi Shawn,

Sorry if this is a silly question but my dealer told me they had ordered a few Silver Skies before they were released to the public. I had put a deposit down for one of those guitars. Now the question is, since these orders were placed ahead of time, will those still be shipping out soon or could those still be backordered?

Thanks, man. Impatient guitarist dealing with non-stop GAS over here hahaha
