This is meant to be light hearted but I'm currently waiting for a Dunable Asteroid, I'm currently at 3 months of my 4-6 month wait time and I'm now starting to get ancy haha. I keep looking at the spec sheet, deciding where I'm going to hang the guitar, the first song I'm going to play on it, looking up pictures of similar colored CS guitars Dunable has put out. Is this what Christmas feels like? I had almost forgotten haha.

What's the funniest thing you've done while anticipating your Custom Shop arrival?

Earlier this year I was really close to pulling the trigger on a Dunable custom shop order myself. I had everything picked out except for the finish. I wanted it to have kind of a natural, almost unfinished look, with the wood grain showing through, but I was worried about ordering something like that sight unseen. I kept thinking about being potentially disappointed by an ugly or uninteresting piece of wood. So I went back and forth between ordering what I really wanted, or going with what I considered a safer option of a solid color. This went on for a few weeks. Then one night I was poking around on Reverb, and the exact (well, very nearly exact) guitar I had been imagining popped up for sale. I looked at the pictures and read the specs, thought "Holy shit, that's my guitar," and ordered it on the spot. It's amazing, and everything I could have hoped for.

I honestly feel a bit bad now that I lucked into skipping the wait that you're currently stuck in. On the bright side I guess that's one less guitar in the queue ahead of you, so maybe yours will come a few days earlier than it would have if I had been more decisive. Hang in there, you're going to love it.

Same thing happened to me a couple years ago! I was going back and forth on ordering a custom from Dunable and then saw this damn near perfect brown burst R2 on their website and immediately snatched it up! I absolutely love it. It’s insane how great it plays.

It did came without strap buttons, which was weird, but Sacha was crazy nice about it. He paid for new ones, sent me some merch, and pre-paid a luthier local to me for a setup.

I will ALWAYS recommend Dunable. I’m very close to pulling the trigger on another one because I really want a Yeti.
