Well, Joe said that including his they even have leap years covered, so I guess he has #1 (or some other low number) and then they go up 365 from there to 366.

I'm still confused with the deal that there were to be 50 and now over 300+... Thats QUITE and oversight..?? But since the price has dropped on them from a few online retailers, I'm guessing production is or has been halted.
It's weird I apparently bought the last one from American Musical Supplies and it did show as "sold out". Today though they show as in stock again. Makes you wonder. Maybe someone returned . Who knows.
I am glad though they did make more than announced, but I completely understand the frustration of those who were first to place their orders.
I briefly tried and sold a Epi Sheraton II before. Now with the JB 335 I can only chuckle about the posts praising the Sheraton vs the ES335. Must have been written by Sheraton owners!
Anyways feeling blessed to be in the JB owner's club!
Happy playing all!
