Bluesburst Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Nice start Henry... Now to put out a Standard with P90's, you know you want to, go on, they will be bought :) Just make sure they come in gloss ebony please with 59 rounded necks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjohnson Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 great price? for who? $800 is actually pretty good for a decent 'made in USA' guitar...infinitely better then some imported asian crap (though I would look a potential purchase over extra-well - Goldtop I saw had obvious flaws). Wasn't exactly what I wanted, in an LP, but at that price it came close 'just because'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmjohnson Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Already were/are - apparently some were released in April - saw 1 of each color at a store here in NY a few weeks ago...must be another batch on the way?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Just ordered me a goldtop from SameDayMusic.com. $806 shipped - on backorder, but we'll see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whirligig Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hans' date=' Yes we will be shipping these to Europe.[/quote'] Just wondering......????? How it is that the powers that be at Gibson can confirm delivery to Europe....yet the biggest distributor of Gibson products in Canada can't order one for me in any color!!!! let alone the gold-top I would like??? Just wondering??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 And, while were on the subject, of these guitars....When, will Gibson start shipping them, again???! Might help some, make a decision, as to if they will, or will not, get one? I'm (personally) already committed (to the guitar... ;>) ), but some others may not want to wait? Curiosity, abounds!

truetone6 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Will we ever see them? Omar at MLPF posted this: "OK... I want one... BUT, Can I get one? I called GC and my regular salesman told me that they WILL NOT get any of those guitars. His Gibson rep told him also that they do not have enough to go around and they are not ready for building (due to the flood)... Sweetwater sales engineer told me similar... although they are accepting orders, they do not think they'll be able to get enough to fulfill orders... and they may get them late 2010, IF they even get them... again, due to the flood. My question is: WHY IN THE WORLD would Gibson start a campaign on a guitar that IT IS NOT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE???? or are my GC and Sweetwater guys way off and misinformed? and I should place an order regardless?

duane v Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I would love to get a honeyburst if I can get it with a ABR1 bridge with nylon saddles, and keep it under a $1200 street price. However the last time I tried to order a Gibson guitar on-line the order was never filled and I had close to $2000 sitting in limbo for close to five months[crying] When these make it to the stores, I'll see if I can get a special order with the ABR1 from GC.:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I will take one in Honeyburst please. *edit* also... Stupid question but how do we adjust the pickup height on these? I have no experience with P-90's. I didn't see any screws on either side of the pups. Are they just in the one position? Sorry for my confusion.

xxx Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 The soap bar type p-90 has 2 adjustment screws located between the pole pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I don't mind waiting. Gives me a while to save my quarters, and if they're going to be that rare, so much the better. I once bought a Squier '51 for 99 bucks. Held it for a year and sold it for $300. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just change the bridge, it should drop right on. I may do the same thing. But probably Tusk saddles, instead? ...or, do you mean you want the older ('50's and '60's) type screw posts, into the wood, as well??? CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toppsseller Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I spoke with Matt Harris at Sweetwater and they have some confirmed orders. They only have 1 goldtop left. They got 6 of each color and most are available. Only 3 of the cherry are still there. I took one. I made sure to ask and confirm with him that these were guitars that they were actually getting not hopes and dreams from Gibson. They told me that the allocation was given to them by Gibson. They did not have an ETA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchabalk Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Here are photos of a Honeyburst that is on ebay.Notice the faux binding and "see through" control cover. Just a note, i don't think that's faux binding, there's NO binding, what you're looking at is a mahogany body with a maple top. just like an LP was meant to be. looks like a great guitar!

truetone6 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Why did Amazon stopped taking orders for the goldtop,honeyburst and cherryburst? I mean,all the other online stores are still taking orders(whether or not they are ever going to get them), so why did Amazon stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildobbin Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I spoke to the Guitar, Amp & Keyboard Centre in Brighton today (probably the UK's largest music shop) & they'll be getting them in for £749 all colours available. They claimed Gibson's factory in TN experienced a flood & are at present trying to clear it up. Whether this is true or not I knoweth not...
