The latest I've heard Ron started the calibration, which he does on Series instruments two at a time, yesterday. So home stretch indeed!
Fun fact: after the calibration, the hum canceller gets affixed permanently, and only after that they install the straplock studs. Not sure if otherwise those would interfere with the Series calibration - there's bound to be a rational explanation.
Gregory, I'm with you on those pictures - though not every person who orders a custom actually wants to see pictures, or have a Factory to Customer thread, so it's easy to see why Mica would want to limit the scope ...
