Important Notes
  • Rush prioritizes time to the bench; parts lead times can still affect completion.
  • Firmware updates are performed when appropriate; backups & resets may be required.
  • Battery health impacts performance—bring packs/chargers with the guitar if possible.
  • Lead times and pricing are subject to change—please confirm current terms at check-in.
