I used to load planes for UPS and this is an all-too common problem. It'll get there (ultimately)
Thank heaven it's not a human heart in an igloo cooler bound for some poor sap waiting in Kentucky - right?

Larry my old buddy, I am far from super picker, but thanks for the kind words...are you still in Kearney? still pickin'? it's been 15 years already? geez, time flies, I was 29 when I came over, and I am 47 now...oh geez...it must be EU-US time difference lol ...maybe I'll get younger if I fly back lol...well, maybe I'll get this guitar in the next 15 lol
I can tell you what happened. Steels and amps don't ride the conveyor belts, but go from dock-sort-dock on carts pulled by miniature towmotors.
The steel likely fell off the cart by the stack for the outbound dock for the San Francisco-bound trailer, although some idiot MIGHT have forgotten to remove it from the trailer that went from Illinois to Tennessee, and then not noticed it sitting in the trailer in the Frisco-bound dock. Either way, it got put in a westbound trailer without being scanned.
They're SUPPOSED to scan every package as they put them on a trailer, and FXG's tracking system (I think) will show not only departure and arrival scans, but unloading and loading scans, so they'd know whether it left a trailer.
But it would take a couple days to get from Tennessee to San Francisco.

2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects

and comes with a nice " Thomas" case as well.... a lot of guitar for the moneyDaniel Policarpo wrote:Wow, that steel looks totally pimp, Damir. I am partial to the finish and the fret markers, plus so many great players have worked their bar on Dekleys, but the "D" pedals really pushes it over the top for me.
Very Nice!
