ForceofWill

I'm not really worried about that stuff but it's irrelevant as it's obvious that the manufacturer intends for it to be sold with certain items. It seems in a lot of cases, especially with GC that they are just blatantly discarded or taken by employees. I got a LP Standard Pro Quilt Top in trans blue and it's my first guitar.

Wish I would have known about this. I got mine from a GC and got nothing. They took the guitar off the wall and I had to walk out and take it home like that, bare naked guitar. It seems obvious Gibson needs to talk to it's retailers, especially Guitar Center about what they expect from them. The guy there even sold me a cord since the guitar "didn't come with one".
