Just a thought about Ron's non-participation here on the Forum.
As I said earlier, I bet he can sell all the guitars he can make, and today's post - quoting a 24-week wait - would seem to confirm that Emmons are substantially back-ordered.
As far as raising the profile of the Emmons name goes, it's hard to imagine how much higher it could be! The name is promoted in half the threads on this site, and, along with Sho-Bud, will probably remain as an industry leader, historically speaking.
Zum has no internet presence at all, yet this doesn't seem to cause a stir at all....

24 weeks (6 months) is a reasonable wait for a custom guitar.
In January 04 I asked Gibson to build me an HRF baritone. They said "Ask again in 6 months". So I did, and the reply was "Ask again in 6 months". I'm not going to ask again because I'm getting out of 6-string, but that response is typical of custom shops.
The last guitar I bought from Gibson's Custom shop took 20 months to deliver.
