What's up with Classic and Legendary ..?

My guy at the local music chain store told me weeks ago that they are selling guitars faster than they can make them. I stopped in today and he checked and told my guitar will be shipped to the distribution center on the 23rd. That's the third time the date has been pushed back. At this point that will be 12-13 weeks from date of order, if it comes. Do you have insight on why they might keep pushing the dates back? People in the supply line making promises they can't keep, or....?? My guitar is coming from China.
On the other hand, I ordered a part from AMD for the Cuda, and had it in 3 days. Obviously it was an in stock part.

Can't speak for what's happening in China but here supply issues are a problem too. Running out of tuners is a situation and it seems every week we have to hold a line of guitars until we get more in. Plus our production numbers are way up so we go through parts a lot faster than we used to.

Another problem is uglier. We can't keep people because the cost of housing has shot off to the stratosphere and they simply can't afford to live here any more. People from the coasts have ran away from the cities to live here believing it would be easier and safer and they're paying whatever the seller wants, so there are a lot of grossly overpriced properties here now. And people who are paying upwards of $500,000 for a house don't want to make guitars for a living. There's a pervading feeling around here that something's gotta give and I don't think it'll be pretty, or limited to this part of the country.
