Its already available
Anyway....the official US release date?? I have no idea..but I can add that many dealers are now taking pre-orders. Shipments started to leave Asia last week....I can't say for sure, but the shipments probably went by sea because it is cheaper. This can take a month to reach ist destinations. It shipments went by Air (which I doubt many went that route) they will arrive as early as next week but in very limited quantities...thus the pre-orders. Distribution is horrible in the USA. So if you want to get one promptly..go ahead and place an order with VST Service (tell Mr. David, Jahrome/Jerome sent you) who advertises in this forum, Guitar Center, or who ever..or go to the #1 source for new/used gear world wide.
