This could be git related or not. So, what's on your workbench at the moment?

I have 4 scarf joint necks in different stages of work.

A 25" scale pine 5 string neck for a Banjo-Res, A 25" scale Red Oak neck for my 6 string Strat-Res build, A 24 & 1/2" scale Red Oak neck for my 6 string Double Cut Tele build and a 27" scale 6 string Baritone Conversion neck for a Modern Strat body I have.

Nice. I haven't ordered anything directly from China before. I've been leery of just such an ordeal.

I've had really good luck with every previous overseas vendor I've bought stuff from, both China and UK (Iron Gear Pickups). Amp boards, pots, knobs, CBG bridges, battery boxes, pickups... Just not so much this time, though he could have gotten the shipping # wrong and I'll get a box by surprise.

I just recieved some fret wire i ordered from a chinese supplier, took about two and a half weeks but for an 8' foot length it was only 2.50. Really cant complain about that. Still waiting on the elctrics and tuners tho.

Hope you guys get all your stuff soon. 

I just ordered some pickups and tuners from C.B.Gitty on Thursday. Arrived Saturday. Thing about ordering from a company within your Country is, don't have any delays from customs and If I need to return it, it's a lot easier and cheaper.

Sometimes things work out great for little money, and then sometimes you get burned. Of course UPS, USPS and Fed EX can loose your stuff, damage it or steal it. So bad things can happen anywhere I guess. Good Luck.

That's why it's good to use eBay / Paypal. Buyer protections galore. If I don't get the parts this week, eBay will get my money back for the missing stuff.

And I wouldn't hesitate to order from Iron Gear in the UK again. Nice quality 'generic' pickups, and super fast shipping. UK to Wisconsin in a week.

That's quick shipping from across the pond.

Back in the 80's, I waited a month for a turn signal switch from MG.

started a six string box yesterday. it has been awhile.

Started working on a neck for my 6 string BO Diddly build using a silverware box.

Nice

What box are you using?

I picked this one up 2 days ago

That's a nice box. Looks rugged and strong.

Don't know what my silverware box is made of. It's light, so I'm thinking it's made of Balsa Wood. Hope it ends up sounding decent. I hate going through the trouble of building a git to only get a dud, happens sometimes.
