Thanks, Thomann have just gone back to 2-3 weeks from 2 days so I'm not sure even they know. DV are forecasting Jan 2023. I don't mind Thomann but would rather get from Peach or somewhere, Thomann I usually use for things like mixers. No rush, it's the way things are with everything at the moment, cheers for your input.

Nice. Very tempted on the P90 version.

Thanks for the reply. It's the P90 one I'm after. There is the odd one about. Guitar Guitar had a sale on them recently which I missed but a few had issues which says end of line to me, or perhaps just last of a large shipment. I saw that on a thread over at the Fretboard and it put me of buying the last of what as we know can be variable quality. There are a few 2nd hand , but they tend to be the same price as new, hence why I'm trying to find out if more will be available. They are still available to order on the Gibson site so perhaps it's just a case of UK waiting on more stock, understandable considering the many worldwide factors involved currently. Thomann are saying 2-5 days on the TV Yellows so may just grab one of those, when they get a shipment in you can usually ask for specifics like lighter weight guitars if they get a batch.

I'm thinking of an LP special of some kind. Stock is an issue at the moment, hardly any in stock in the UK. The Tribute Specials seem to be unavailable, especially the Wallnut colour model. Are these being discontinued? If so then I'll look at the TV Yellow model but the Tributes look nice guitars, as long as the necks are not too thin. There's not many of the full gloss Specials either but most places seem to have them on order at least. Any thoughts between the 2? I know the Tributes have satin finish and maple necks, no binding.
