Well, according to the tracking number, we may actually have the White Billy Bo's in the shop tomorrow (....Wednesday). Eight of them total (....a few are spoken for including one for myself). I do have a few available. Hopefully I'll have theom tomorrow so I can get a few pics up.....

Well the tracking info says "May 31st" as the standard delivery but they've been in Oklahoma City since yesterday according to the tracking info with words "pending delivery" next to it. The tracking info hasn't changed since yesterday. I really don't see why it would take 3 days for an hour and a half drive. I know with UPS once something hits the OKC terminal (..usually at midnight that day), it's usually to us within 12 hours. These guys are coming freight, so that may delay things up. Basically coming by way of Watkins freight with I guess is now part of Fed Ex. So, knock on wood they should be here today. I'll keep you posted and as soon as they're here I'll snap some pics....

We special ordered them so they did exist till we put the order in. So, this will be the first run of them....

Dang! I can't wait! It's already Thursday here in Asia.
I've been scheming/dreaming of an orange sparkle Jupiter Thunder Penguin for some time (w/Bigsby)...so I was blown away when I saw these white Jupiter-Thunder-Penguins were in the works. YUmYuM!
"Wonderible" indeed. Hmmm, I don't have any kids to trade in, but I'd gladly ship over as many of my neighbours' rugra...uhm helpers as needed in exchange for a JTP.

Sorry for the delay. We did recieve them and they exactly what I had hoped for - except for one thing: the factory goofed and didn't put bigsby's on them. They put a gold "G" tailpiece. The thing is the price quoted (...and billed) to us was for one with a bigsby. We checked a B3 with the Billy Bo I'm keeping and it did fit with none of the holes showing from the G tailpiece. There was a little bit of an idention showing in the laquer but it really isn't an issue. Fact is we will be able to install a "V-cutout" B3 bigsby with no trouble and it should appear stock. Right now I'm waiting on my rep to talk to Fender to arrange some Bigsby's or something. I confirmed many times that a bigsby was part of a spec. My rep turned the order in specifying a bigsby on them. The factory recieved an order for Billy Bo's with bigsbys. Somehow, they put out one's without them. It never fails. I kind of feel like a member of Spinal Tap who just recieve his one foot tall Stonehenge. Bigsby issues aside, the guitar is fantastic. I'll have pics first thing tomorrow mourning. Again, those who want a bigsby shall get a bigsby. Atleast now if you prefer the tension bar version we should be able to arrange that.....

MBeinin, me too, and me too to one eyed sam too, gold dynas.
And a melitta????????
A Bo Diddley quote, I think from the Chuck Berry multi-DVD show in the "extra" features, goes something like...
Bo was driving a Cadillac that had been supplied or given to him from label or whoever, don't recall. Driving in the South and he was pulled over. The police asked if the car was his and where got it. Saying he was given the car, they took it away and told him that whoever gave him the car could give him another one.
So, anyone that haunts the pages enough should know that I love Bo. Darn, wish I could get one of these!
Also, check out the cover of Bo Diddley is a Lover if you think that ZZ Top were the first ones to play fur covered guitars.
Good luck Joel, sounds like the guitars are incredibly cool and you will have a sell out!

well, finally - now's the time. Hope these aren't too large. Here's the first pic, it's of the one I'm claiming so there's no plastic on the pickguard, or wrap on the tailpiece. Hope this works:
