Production and delivery times
We're going to try to keep this up to date, so check back if you've placed an order and it's running late!
Please note - the lead times are estimates based on our order queue, order rate, supply chain, and staffing.

Updated 18th November 2024 - lots of changes here so you won't have to wait as long for your cab! We now have another unit so our original factory is dedicated to CNC machining, building, painting/tolexing and grill making, with the new room dedicated to electronics, hardware and final finishing. For years we've solely been building to order - now we have the space to hold stock of part/fully-built cabs, so we can build in larger more efficient batches. This will mean you can have your Barefaced cab that much sooner.
We've also got more space to hold stock of drivers, both our unique 12XN and 10CR/10CRA models in our bass cabs and the vast range of Celestions we offer, so we're aiming to keep all the popular Celestions here in sufficient quantities to reduce the chance of you having to wait for your driver choice to come into stock.
New orders:
Estimated 3-5 week lead time on all AVD guitar cabs.
Estimated 4-6 week lead time on 10CR / 10CRA bass cabs.
Estimated 4-6 week lead time on 12XN bass cabs.
If you need your cab urgently for a gig/tour/session then let us know and we'll see if we can juggle things around and get it to you in time - can't promise anything though!
By quoting a fairly wide window it gives us the flexibility to work most efficiently in terms of production batches and also lets us help out customers who need their cab urgently. Please do not email us asking for a more precise lead time because it's simply not that easy to work out - and not likely to be all that accurate. But if you would like your cab for a certain date then we can check if that's likely to be possible.
Existing/outstanding orders - please click here for our new Current Production Status page.
If you've given us a specific date you need your cab by, please feel free to check in and see how we're going - we don't usually forget but there's a lot to keep track of at the moment. Otherwise, if you can hold on and wait for your order patiently then we'd really appreciate that!
