To all of you guys dropping 2.5 large on unseen, unplayed guitars from a company with a history of QC problems, I salute thee! Proper GAS! I guess the distance selling rules protect you anyway. FFS You've even made me want one, and I'm a Fender man!

Yeah I was thinking the same. Also a fender guy but been GAS-ing for one. I suspect they should hold 80%-90% of their value depending on when you sell.

Peach have solid QA checks in place before sending stuff out. My original choice of 335 was changed as they phoned me and said it didn't meet their standards when setting it up and asked me to pick another from the available serial numbers, with tonnes of photos. Buy with confidence from them.

I have pics of the GG one but waiting on @peachguitarsdotcom ;

Looking at 2018/2019 Gibson prices I'd be surprised if anyone lost more than 10% on one that wasn't damaged during their ownership.

I suppose I could post a video of me playing mine.

I doubt anyone would consider what they heard as music though.

I've heard there will be another cherry with a nice dark board becoming available at GG soon

Plain tops are my fave. Anything more than light figuring and I'm instantly not a fan....not sure why! Plain is understated and cool!

Having now read B&TB, it turns out I like 'fiddleback' and 'pinstripe', but no others. 

Plaintops with interesting grain are my preference.

I’m sure there was more than one video in this thread. Mine is on page 41, way back when this thread was just a pup. If someone has a couple days to spare, maybe they could go back through the thread and find the other one?
