Thanks everyone for the comments
 After a somewhat good nights sleep I'm still no further ahead  I spent a few hours last night trying to find some decent pics of the grey but I believe the guy at the store made a mistake when he said it was a flame top, as all I can find is quilt tops for the 2009 models ( but I might be wrong) Here is a link to the best pick I could find of the guitar in Grey Blackhttp://www.willcuttguitars.com/_product_31...ck_Quilt_10_Top It is pretty sweet looking actually, I'll admit that. Looks almost satin like I think anyways. But I am still on the fence as to what I'm gonna do. I like Berglmir's idea of holding on to the grey until they fix the problem and order me the tri though. Seems a good way to guarantee compliance on their end. Oh the dilemma Saturday feels like an eternity away...

OMG Rok, I can't believe this, how on earth could they screw it twice!...
It might not be what you want to hear, but you'll feel better in the long run if you return it and wait a bit for the one you really wanted. Otherwise you might end up with a gorgeus guitar which you will be 99% satisfied with, but everytime you see the other color that 1% might itch. I say patience. Return it and get what you really crave for! This decision will be much harder to take once you have the grey one in your house though, I'm sure it's awesome too.

If you were just buying 'another' guitar I'd suggest keeping it if you can live with the grey colour and spend the rebate on something else.
As it's your dream guitar Rok I think you should return it. Even if you really like the grey it may always be at the back of your mind that the tri was your dream. Not sure why Sweetwater won't ship to Canada. Sometimes though manufacturers make their official dealers sign an agreement though whereby they cannot supply outside their country border to any other country that has official suppliers. The industry tends to deny this protectionism goes on but I've come across this situation a few times and been told it 'off the record' by two of the big UK importers. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

QUOTE (rokchik @ May 29 2009, 06:50 PM) Yeah sted I am impressed with how the manager is handling things. And like you said I'll have two guitars to play for a coupe of days when the second one arrives  I don't think many places would be so trusting actually.Absolutley. Like sted says he seems to be going the extra mile to make amends. He seems keen to leave this one on good terms and so be in the running for your future business. Sometimes just building a good rapport with a shop is worth its weight in gold. Now if you could arrange for the gray one to get lost in transit somewhere over Cadiz when you return it Rok

I'm so glad to hear that Rok, they really messed things up, but they seem to have really nice costumer service, that's a plus
