It's spent more time in Seattle than China. Maybe delivered today. It'll be sitting 24 hours before I break the seal to acclimate the guitar. That's how I roll

Okay, the Chinese Eagle has landed...My, the box base sure is WIDE - Deep too!

YAHOO!!!!!!!!

Is it pretty cold there buddy ???
It was in the 40s the day my box arrived. I brought it in and waited maybe an hour or so before I cracked the outside box and brought the case in, disposing of the outside box while it was still light outside.
Could not wait that long though... LOL

Yeah one more guy gets his box !!!!!!!!!!

Big

Abelljo, you are next Brother !!!

Doesn't look like UPS shipped it. The shipping container doesn't look like it was dragged behind a horse. I couldn't wait 24 hrs if a turd brown truck dropped it off.

LOL Vincenzo...

EMS is handed off to the US Postal Service, thank goodness UPS doesn't handle it. Usually the box comes in a different truck than one's ordinary mail carrier, it's a truck and driver able to handle a long bulky box.

Oh I'm taking bets on how long 2B actually waits. My bet is later today he cracks and opens it up... I guess I could pony up some ribs to the winner if I am wrong, but you gotta come see me to collect. LOL !!!!

Big

2B !!
2B !!!
2B !!!!

Is that blonde Super Eagle on the right peeking around for her new friend to get unwrapped?
We all can't wait to see your Mr. Wu 18"'er.

No guts no glory 2b. Go get the box cutter. You are torturing us.

We're like that scene in the movie Yentl where the traditional group of Jewish men are standing outside the bridal chamber waiting for the new couple to throw out the sheets!
