Congrats man, hope mine looks like that , I will be more than happy 

Fingers crossed for you mate!  Let me know what you think when you get yours!

I just pulled the trigger on 871297 .Not flamey at all but it was the lightest of the batch. Were you the first in line for the lemons?

Brilliant, photos please when you're ready :-)

Will do Roberty

My Mrs has just messaged me to let me know it's been delivered.  Unfortunately I won't be home till 8pm tonight... it's going to be a long day...

How is it?

Yes apparently I was. Not had that happen before haha. 

Nice one. I think I remember that one, again noticing the weight and being tempted. If I didn’t have the idea of getting one as close to Stripe, I think I would’ve gone lighter this time.

When is yours due for delivery? Im sure you’ll love it!

Yes it’s nice, wish it had your flame though. I was thinking of putting a newly acquired set of double white Tom Holmes but I liked your look with double black and you got me thinking 
i bank wired the money because I wanted to avoid PayPal high fees so it will take some time . I live in Greece

Are they being liked? I'm thinking of moving on my previous run non-gloss 2007 dirty lemon if anyone prefers the idea.....

@terada well happy with it mate!

It looks different/better in person than on the pictures, the finish is flawless with a nice dark rosewood fretboard.  The neck thickness is quite thin for a '59 which is perfect for me.

I was a bit worried that it might be too heavy being one of the more heavy ones but it doesn't feel heavy at all.

Most importantly it plays and sounds great, even unplugged the notes ring out clearly when playing chords.

If I had enough funds I'd have bought 2 of them

Lebond

Hope you are happy with yours also, when are you expecting its arrival ?

Will post pics next week when I have more time

Thanks to Peach Guitars for such an awesome deal

Nice - that’s the one I was two clicks away from grabbing before I showed the faintest amount of very out-of-character self-restraint. 

(PM me if you ever want to sell it on someday...)

@Whitecat cheers pal

Double whites would like nice definitely. I’ve always had a thing for the black, especially against the lemon body. 

Ah well I’m sure it will be worth the wait. The actual guitars are lighter in colour than the photos showed which is a good thing.

Mine is looking particularly flamey tonight, just been doing a spot of recording. Some days it looks completely plain, I can't figure it out. Easily confused by physics

Great news - glad its everything you wanted!

These are really great guitars, in a few years I think we'll all be pretty pleased getting them for this price.

That looks lovely. I think the flame thing depends on the following:

The depth of flame in the maple itself
Viewing angle
lighting

Thanks @terada it’s that weird flame quilt hybrid I’ve always fancied but not found

Ah okay that makes sense.  Mine must be shallow because it only pops out on occasions.  I never get tired of looking at it!
