Schecter help?

Can anyone help Steve with this? Or give him more info? Thanks.

"Have you tried to order or do you know of anyone ordering any of The Cure models? Guitar Center and Musicians Friend have had them on backorder since December and now they are saying they won't be available until May.
When I called Schecter they said they were still waiting on a shipment from Korea. I paid for my Schecter Porl Thompson Corsair waaaay back in December and am still waiting for it to get here. This is preposterous. I know Schecter reps go to your site sometimes. I really would like to find out what is going on." (Thanks Steve)

They said Robert is afraid of stop to earning these big amounts of money because now, his talent is gone away since a while and he´s not capable anymore of doing great music as he did before, so that´s why he´s worried about the size of his pocket."
