I just caught up with my guy this afternoon. It looks like the necks should be off the line in Japan
by the end of March, then received in Texas a week or two after that. Allparts will re-box them individually and ship them to me in three boxes of ten necks each. Once I know the net cost of each neck shipped to me, I'll finalize pricing and start a thread in the classifieds.
Quoting myself here to show I jumped the gun. Mid-April is when things should get interesting, not mid-March.
HAPPY APRIL!

I made a promise to myself to wait until after April 15.

The patience is taxing.

Maybe they're growing the trees?
I've got the money ready to roll, but it's also fine because I just had to buy a new-to-me used car (due to somebody that forgot that you're supposed to stop when people in front of you stop), so I have been buying parts for that here and there, too.

Good news and bad news...the necks have landed, but most have finish issues. It looks like I'll end up with 2 that pass muster. The rest are getting shipped back to Japan for a re-spray.

Oh, no! How bad? Did they go through AllParts before getting to you?

Ah, so AllParts caught the finish issues. Alright, so at least they're taking care of the QC. And I imagine it's nothing that would be found interesting for somebody that's going to potentially relic it anyway, right?

Forgive me, I haven't been following along closely.
Are there individuals who are receiving the bulk of the order, who will then sell them on to other OSG members?
I would be interested in purchasing a spare one once they're ready, if shipping to Australia is not too egregious.
Thanks
