It is worth the wait ..................

When I ordered one of my Robins it took a rrreeeeaaaallllyyyy long time before I ever saw it, the one thing I learned is you cannot rush perfection.

I ordered a USA Lakland bass and it took a year, well not exactly a year...it was delivered to me one day shy of a year. Yes I know different company, point being custom order instruments take time and are worth the wait.

Which model did you order with what options?

From time to time if you ordered something with a figured top it will take longer, I think that if the quilting or flame on a piece of maple is not up to Dave's "standards" or of "presentation grade" it will be put to the side till quality woods come in.

IMO it is better to wait for a 10+ top than settle for a AA mediocre top.

Again, just my opinion...I am sure when it comes in you will be thrilled with it and happy that you waited. Good luck!

You're not alone! I ordered a week or two before you, and I'm still patiently waiting as well :)

This.

Dave once told me a horror story about a high option, high grade wood guitar that was almost completely finished.
It was actually being polished on the buffing wheel, when an edge of the body caught on the wheel a little too well. The wheel caught traction on the guitar, and pulled it out of the hands of the fellow buffing it, throwing it in the air and across the shop floor.
If the guitar were an Olympic Gymnast, one could say that it stuck the landing.
Dave (who is not an Olympic Gymnast), was "stuck" starting over from scratch.

Delays happen. What's more important is that Dave won't let a guitar leave the factory unless it represents his idea of Robin quality (which happens to be getting better every day).
That may not mean a whole lot to you right now, but when the time comes that you're holding your guitar, you'll forget how long you waited. I guarantee it.

I believe good things come to those who wait. It can be difficult at times but will be worth it.
