flag25 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I tried to order a Epi Les Paul Tribute Plus in Faded Cherry Sunburst today at the local Long and McQuaid and was informed that the colour was not shipped to Canada. HUH? Can anyone think of a reason for this strange situation? If I wanted a LP Plus Top Pro I could get that colour but I wanted the Tribute. In the end I ordered a Black Cherry, which looks sweet, but still the first choice was the FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Flag25, Welcome To The Forum!!! Don't know what is going on but I'm guessing you'll be happy. Congrats and don't forget to post pics. Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hello Flag, and welcome to the forum. Availability of certain colours of the Epiphone Les Paul 1960 Tribute Plus obviously varies with time. They actually ship Black Cherry and Midnight Sapphire to Germany only. Before I bought mine in Faded Cherry Sunburst eight months ago, I had waited for it several months. They were sold out again soon, then temporarily available, now taken from the sites of the big retailers here. I hope they will keep on making them. They are great guitars.

vomer Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hello Flag, welcome. Yes, it's annoying, and it's not just Canada. The Genesis isn't available in the UK in Black Cherry. Why on earth would Epiphone restrict their sales like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP121 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Don't quote me on this, but I think there are only a certain amount in any given color available at one time and they probably make those available in the countries where they sell the best. Or, I could be totally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hello Flag, welcome. Yes, it's annoying, and it's not just Canada. The Genesis isn't available in the UK in Black Cherry. Why on earth would Epiphone restrict their sales like this? It is very odd I must say. Like capmaster, I wanted a Tribute Plus in Faded Cherry. I managed to get the last one a store had. I think the black cherry looks very nice but the FC just pips it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flag25 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 We'll try this again.....I was on with the distributor this morning and the Faded Cherry IS available in Canada and the Black Cherry may not be available until Spring. I'll be off to the dealer as soon as they open to change my order and check with them as to the confusion. Yippee I may get the one I really want. I'll keep y'all posted.

capmaster Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 HNGD! So finally she has arrived - Congrats! Love this finish, too, as I posted before By the way, the 1960 Tribute Plus with Faded Cherry finish is available again at Thomann, too, after having been sold out for months. Think it's a very sought-after one. Have fun! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
