| a few months ago, a tulsa band store had some calicchios in stock. i know nothing about the wait for a new axe though. the e-mails i've exchanged with the company have always been rapid and forthright.
i'm sure they'll tell you if there is a long wait. i have never played one, but have considered it for awhile.
i've never thought schilkes were similar to bachs. i've had (have) both and enjoy the differences.
