Hype Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 So I asked for an update, still no estimate delivery time. I’m not sure if I should just ride it out in hopes it arrives sometime this year? Or use the funds I already paid to get a Gretsch Falcon Player Series Midnight Sapphire, which is next on my list anyways….Decisions..

If you're next Bucket Lister after the Guild is a Gibson - maybe you should get on the waiting list now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guild? When my EP Dove arrives, I’m done with Gibson. I have all the Gibson ones I ever wanted (J-200, Hummingbird, LP, 2 ES-355s). Gretsch Player Series Falcon (Midnight Sapphire) G6136 is my next bucket lister (already ordered) as Fender will be receiving shipments in mid-late June 2023 from Japan.. Then I can say I have all the guitars I need. Including my Fender Strat, Johnny Marr Jag & Tele, and 2 Epiphone Casinos and Riviera. I’m done. But let’s be honest….no one is ever done with buying guitars.. Edited March 3, 2023 by Hype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

62burst Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Congrats on the Elvis Dove- Just don't leave it on that black chair- it'll blend in, and you might end up sitting on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My serial number was a cool number too had “355” in it (I have 2 355’s so was a perfect sign). But Gibson didn’t put the “Kenpo Karate” sticker in the case. The dealer is getting Gibson to send it. I thought that was kinda BS. But I don’t trust dealers & their employees much. Always have a feeling they steal/lift case candy and sell them on eBay or Reverb. Just for reference sake, what did you get with yours? Here’s what I got: - EP Dove & Brown USA case (new rectangular latches) Case Candy Certificate of Authenticity Inspection Sheet Gibson Microfiber Cloth Truss Rod Tool Optional Strap Pin with Black Cloth Washer Gibson Keychain Humidifier Pack Case Keys you get the same with the “Kenpo Karate” sticker???

Hype Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) I think Gibson and all other guitar manufacturers needs to start putting a checklist of items the Guitar comes with. I keep on getting the feeling employees and retailers are lifting case candy from people. My EP Dove came in with specific instructions not to open the shipping box until I arrived and checked everything out. First thing I notice is the box seal was already cut, there were fingerprints on the guitar, a very light scratch (guitar is black so it shows everything) and the “Kenpo Karate” sticker wasn’t there! Call me cynical, but I just don’t trust people who work at guitar retailers! Edited March 6, 2023 by Hype 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Oh, so that's what that big sticker was! (said with Elvis karate stance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t put it on anything let alone a Gibson. But if it comes with the guitar I expect it to be there… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave F Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 It’s okay. Sort of lost visually being all black. I have the three piece on a few of my Gibsons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a J-200 Standard 2 piece with a nice flame back. The Elvis one is really nice with the 2 seam checkerboard strip down the back. Does your EP-200 have a light nitro coating? My EP Dove came with a light nitro coating in comparison with standard Gibson acoustics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
