LGM Guitars important announcement


Well, the time has come where I have to make some changes at the shop. Things have picked up faster than expected and unfortunately this has left me bottlenecked. Regretfully it has left many guitars in a slow process of being completed and very long waits for some of you. I truly apologize for this.
Leviathan orders are increasing as is the custom paint side of the shop. I simply cannot keep up with all the orders and hiring somebody is not an option at this time due to finances and shop size.

Regretfully this means I have to eliminate some of the services previously offered.
This may not be permanent as things can slow down and pick up without explanation, but at this time LGM Guitars will be taking orders only for the following:

Leviathan guitars
Complete custom guitars (from scratch)
High end shell inlay
Airbrush Graphics

This means for the time being I will not be offering refinish jobs (outside of airbrush graphics), RG to JEM modifications, lower end inlay work (synthetics) etc.

The only exceptions will be if the customer is willing to accept that the job will not be top priority and will be completed as time allows, this could be 4 weeks, it could be 12 months. I have made promised deadlines in the past that I was not able to keep. I am falling further behind because the work load is so high.

Don't get me wrong, I very much appreciate the work and would rather be to busy than to slow, but I am far enough behind at this point where I've had guitars here as long as 12 months.

My goal is to provide the best work possible, I do not want to sacrifice quality for speed.

As I say, this may not be a permanent thing, but at this time it's what needs to be done in order to catch up on the current backlog of jobs as well as advance the shop to the next level.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may bring, but as I say, if you don't mind waiting, I will still do the smaller jobs.

Thank you for your continued support!

Jeremy

I hear you loud and clear, Jer. I have nearly the same issues (as you already know). The title should read LGM and EKG

Re: LGM Guitars important announcement


How long does it take you to build a guitar from scratch? Assuming nothing fancy--solid finish, no binding, no custom inlay.

Just curious.

Just think... Some day, (in the near future, we hope) when Jeremy is producing guitars for the mega-stars of the rock world, we'll be able to say that we knew him when he was making guitars in his garage...

Congrats and best wishes for much success, Jer!

You deserve all the props and boo-yaas you can stand!

Yeah, that's how I feel with "7DyingTrees" on here now that he's got the Cradle Of Filth gig.

Re: LGM Guitars important announcement


Think i can say, quite honestly, i'd wait for a year or more for a product from either Eddie or Jeremy, Quality takes time, and it's great to see the pair of you not rushing to make that little extra profit.

Am glad both of you are doing well

Regards
