El_Jeffe_Solid Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Gibson, Gibson, Gibson..... Get your **** together! I ordered a new switchwasher and some top hat knobs over a month ago and Sweetwater estimates that they won't have them in stock until the end of THIS month. Why?!?!?!:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Why did you get them from Sweetwater? are you not familiar with how they work? Never order an item that is not in stock at Sweetwater, I have done it twice and will never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I have come across items from Gibson on back order quite often in the past year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 It takes a long time for the boat to get here from where those parts are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I hear ya, the issue I see with Sweetwater actually 2 issues is that they offer free shipping on just about anything so a lot of people order knobs and small accesories from them since you do not have to have a minimum order. Now, do a search on Sweetwater for Gibson knobs and look on how the top hats look to be in stock... however read the fine print: We have one or more of these in-stock, but they appear to be reserved. In many cases, we can still make one available for you. Please give us a call or place your order online - we will contact you right away to confirm availability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I ordered my TonePros AVRII bridge almost a month ago. It's coming from California. Red Star Distributing says it has shipped, but no one knows where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzboy Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hey you're from Eugene! Did you catch Bonamassa at the McDonald Theater? Nope I didn't have money to go see him unfortunately. I have seen the Youtube videos that some has done at the McDonald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Jeffe_Solid Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Good to know I'm not the only one who has had problems. Oh well. It will get here eventually..... At least Sweetwater has excellent customer service. They seem to be on top of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can download the entire concert on btjunkie.com. It may upset you to know this, but they let people in for free about halfway through the show. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamman Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I've used sweetwater a few times and if they don't have it in stock don't order it . I did that when they told me the part would be in -in about a week. a month later it shipped along with 2 sets of duplicate strings i had already got. it didn't pay to send them back as far as the shipping costs for strings i didn't like . So i question them for being on top of it. At least in my case . maybe you have done better. I tend not to like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstar232007 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I special ordered a blank-TRC through my local music shop in the beginning of Feb, and didn't receive it until the middle of April (back order). The good thing is, whatever else I need (Gibson wise) can be bought on site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
