R8 Peach Deal

Schnozz

Only 29 more...

When does 'Custom Shop' become 'Production Line'? I remember Gibson saying that there was only 300+ per 'Collector's Choice #' too.

Just seems crazy to me - I had one of 20 Charvel Legacy Gold Bolt Stars, so that would seem 'Collector's Choice', but 300+...Nah.

Anyway, back to topic.

I caved in and ordered one from GuitarGuitar, still a dirty lemon and a cherry burst available there

Expect about fifty guitars in the classifieds from me in due course!

Could realistically be my only chance to own one of these from new

Interesting strategy from Gibson:

"quick lets sell some old stock to make way for new stock"

"oh shit, now everyone in the world owns a Custom Shop Les Paul, even those who don't like Les Paul's, who shall we target next"

Even I've considered one and I know I don't like LP's.

Not sure I'd put my name down for one before you see/feel/hear what they play like, but I'm keeping my eyes open for when they arrive and I'll be popping down

@dindude cheaper than 2019 Standard on Wildwood using straight currency conversion

I'm glad I sold my R8 earlier this year.  This would have seriously depressed the price I got.

Ah!, that was you. I swithered over buying the one you bought last night, but decided to sleep on it, looked today and it was gone. Today to compensate for my sadness I just bought the dirty lemon instead

So is there gonna be a dearth of NGGDs today? Anyone got one in hand yet, or expecting it today? 

Edit due to brain fart - *substantial not dearth....!

We might as well set up a subforum for all the ngd posts

Haha well played :-)

What are we like!  We have spontaneously pumped £15k into the guitar economy (I think that's 6 of us so far?)

Is it wrong to consider buying a second one? 

Would someone please have a word with me, or better still take me outside and give me a slap.

Do you mean abundance or similar? Dearth means scarcity or shortage.

Ah! Takes me back to the collective insanity of the blue Peach Jags....good times.
Wonder how long before a few ebay chancers try flipping these for a profit?
