I think it has something to do with stores not accepting Christmas gift returns for a full refund.

What I was asking is do you need a close up photograph of a particular section of the guitar? If so, I can dig it out and take a shot for you.

Do you need detailed shots of the neck/body joint?

They're saying a record setting low in this area for Christmas. Good day to play the guitar, listen to music and then curl up with a book.

You snooze, you lose, they're all sold out. That's ridiculous.

3 degrees here tomorrow with winds in the 20-38 MPH range, they say. Verily, it biteth the big one.

That does look fab! Have a safe Holiday.

More than likely. They'll do weird knock offs on just about everything. Earlier this week I got involved with a guy trying to sell a counterfeit Buck pocket knife; the guy from Buck Knives said it's like playing Whack-A-Mole.

You know you're getting old when members of The Tubes die of old age. RIP, Mr. Anderson.

That's not around Tman territory, is it?

As long as he doesn't pose in traditional Hawaiian garb with that fake aged guitar I don't care what Aquaman does.

That looks better. They probably weren't selling very well so they just left the listing up until the stock was gone. Maybe they'll do something really weird like put the headstock back to how it was with the banjo tuners which is what everybody would prefer. Then they'll sell more of them.

I have a 2020, it's called Luden because it's the color of a cough drop. The pick ups sound really good in this one, that head stock could stand some improvement (it's flat like a Fedner, tuners are real close together). I wasn't looking, I don't know if there were any 2021 or 2022 models.

It's a copy of a piece of history. Whatever makes you happy.

I'm sure it was free.

The fellow who started this thread seemed to know what he was talking about, too much of a PITA to build. When you get one buy a suede strap and take some time getting used to the length of it, they're kind of the Un-Gibson.

I think he's right, none at Guitar Center: https://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibson-Designer.gc?N=18144#pageName=collection-page&N=50264+18144+18137&Nao=0&recsPerPage=30&postalCode=16001&radius=100&profileCountryCode=US&profileCurrencyCode=USD Same at Sweetwater: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/manufacturer/Gibson

Just black, I don't need to pay extra to see a green piece of plastic go around in a circle.

My vinyl copies of The Grand Wazoo and Waka Jawaka/Hot Rats have shipped. Merry Christmas to me!

does this seem like overkill? Yes.

For the price you'd think they could have put on some fret markers. Correction: upon closer inspection they put in little, subtle ones. Ohh la la, gimme two!

It's kind of a toss up between the $500 sweater https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Product/GABR-1103-1693/Prairie-Sand-Billy-Reid or a $250 piece of wood to hang my guitar on https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Product/ASTD-WN/Handcrafted-Walnut-Guitar-Stand I hate making purchasing decisions, I'll just get both. I can hang the sweater on the piece of wood.

Wouldn't that suck if they ran out of picks RIGHT BEFORE they shipped your order...

I believe that was it, it's been a long time since I worked there. I do know NOBODY was allowed to touch it.
