RUN THREE UPDATE: PLUS SOME OTHER STUFF
In around ten days, we will release Run Three. It might be a bit more, or maybe a bit less. But that's a rough timeline. I highly recommend you turn on notifications for this group, and/or sign on to the mailing list on the website to avoid missing out. It will be right around the time this group will get SMASHED with updates of NGD's, so will be a little hectic!
There will be THREE phases to Run Three:
1. Release of SX models (6, 7 strings only)
Colours: blue flame with binding, and 1-2 others.
2. Release of HypeGTR model (6, 7, and 8 string)
Satin finish on Swamp Ash
3. There will be a surprise of one more thing
Lefties: I will discuss with our lefty dealer how to go about this. IF, and I say IF, we do lefties, it will be for ONE model only. There is more chance we will skip lefties this time, than go ahead. You may need to prove you are keen with a deposit to show numbers. THERE ARE LEFTIES coming in run one and two as spares, so dont stress too much.
As manufacturing is now pretty much all caught up after the fiascos last year, lead times WILL be reduced. I have pre-ordered the entire of Run Three, and booked manufacturing space.
Run three will be split into two delivery dates. Half of the orders will be set for one date. The other half for a later date. It will ALL be very clear on release, and you will know exactly which half you are in.
Run One vouchers, can be used for this release. Details are on the voucher, which will be in your case/box. Do not stress if your voucher has not arrived by the time we release Run Three, just pay your deposit as per normal, and sign on to a plan as per normal, and we will credit the voucher against the final bill.
Payment plans:
Mrs Ormsby has agreed to handle the plans, after seeing how many people requested we keep the lower cost per month plans in the last survey. We've worked on a solution to make admin stuff a bit easier. But, this will be a trial run. If the massive numbers of failed payments happen again ($35k for run two), we will reassess.
Numbers for run three will be limited. If people miss out, that is just too bad. Sorry! But, as usual, we will get some spares. However, Run Four will not be too far behind, approximately six weeks. Run Four will have a variety of HypeGTR models (3 most likely), and either a single Goliath or TX model. Then around July/August/Sept we release the "Shark SX", or the "Original Carved SX".
Dealers:
We are trying our hardest to get the best dealership network possible for you. We want you to be able to walk into a store and try a GTR, and buy it right there and then, if you like it. This is the end goal. But, not always do dealers rush into things, and to be honest, neither do we. We want the RIGHT stores, not just ANY stores. We are close to having some amazing deals done, but anything could fall over at any point. There will be a list of dealers you may pre-order from at the time of release for Run Three.
Website:
I just found the soundbytes for pickups last night! Lost for 18 months, they were on a disc I managed to find. I'll upload them soon. But, with GTR Run One just about to hit peoples doorsteps, Im guess these old soundbytes are obsolete frown emoticon
Matt has gone through and made some big changes to a lot of the pages, so go take a look.
That's enough for now.
