Indirectly, since we are unable to go directly to the Vietnam factory and inspect the guitars on-site, the guitars are checked and adjusted in Japan after they arrive in Japan, so shipping may take longer than usual.

Production is carried out in a planned manner, but repairs that occur mid-way tend to delay delivery.

This necessitated the need to change the guitar case and switch to a product from a different factory. Developing a new product like this takes a lot of time.
Due to the effects of the cold wave and heavy snow in Japan this winter, it became necessary for the guitars to be adjusted and shipped after they had been acclimatized to the Japanese climate to a certain extent, and in some cases shipments were delayed.
