sparky scott 29 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Yep,$1060. But it comes with a Gator case. Makes me wonder.. with case as well? HUMMMMM! Wait till when people that want one don't, should've tried to sell it then my opinion, but with hard case + a guarantee to have one You never know, maybe i'll be mad at myself later.. By the way, did u order one from where and what color.. I wished they came with a hard case, but, still good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieS. Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 New guy here adding my 2 cents; I called Guitar Center to reset the FTC clock the other day and I was told that my piece should be here on the date that they've been promising (8/31) since I ordered (6/14). I'd also like to add that I'm glad that it doesn't come with a HSC. It seems like those that do cost at least an extra $200 for this amenity. I'm planning on keeping mine in my beaten up Epiphone case during travel. It'll be its disguise. And while I'm here, can anyone tell me the significance of the "orange drop" capacitors? How do these store electricity any differently from other capacitors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 . And while I'm here, can anyone tell me the significance of the "orange drop" capacitors? How do these store electricity any differently from other capacitors? There can't possibly be any different (sonically) from any other type of capacitor. I suppose you could break out your O-scope and measure differences around 100khz, but if anyone can hear that, well, then they should be buying those $400 power cables, too. But remember - (OK, I'll admit it) most of us ordered these guitars sight-unseen because of how they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do these store electricity any differently from other capacitors? Same here (on time still predicted, though it is more "8/31 ish" as far as my CG is concerned). What part of the country are you in? BTW, mine was also confirmed on the same date as yours, but was ordered a day earlier. Now that we're getting close, I'm really chomping at the bit! Got an earlier, blemished Gibson case on eBay for $110 delivered, my Honeyburst is resting there now. I may try the tweed aftermarket case for a few bucks less for the Gold Top if (no, WHEN! B) ) it gets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what they will say when 9-1 comes?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky scott 29 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Any of you guys out here actually see a 50's C.B. and can you compare the woodgrain and looks with something like my Epi. Les Paul korean?? Any similarities as in the grain. I know sound will be way better, and another question, do the Epis. have holes or chambers or either??

Now that we're getting close, I'm really chomping at the bit! Boston, MA. I'm just relieved that my order didn't get cancelled, aside from that I'm drained. I didn't even ask the guy when it would show up, he offered the info. I was trying to forget about it until I got the email. My first Gibson has been impossible to put out of my mind though.

Was trying to too (this thread hasn't helped there LOL). But now that we're less than 2 weeks away from the initial target date, I'm getting excited, and barring some dramatic event in my life, there will be no forgetting it for awhile!

CharlieS. Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Well, have you seen one? Did you order one? I did - because the pictures look cool. Right. You saw one in the picture, so you ordered one. Not sight unseen, more like sight unplayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Right. You saw one in the picture, so you ordered one. Not sight unseen, more like sight unplayed. Whatever. I haven't seen the one I'll end up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjohnson Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Don't worry - the 4 I tried all sounded great! And unless ya ordered white, they look pretty good too! As mentioned other times, the set-up on these is as good as any Gibsons I have seen, and better then some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieS. Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Whatever. I haven't seen the one I'll end up with. But you have a very good idea of what it will look like, as do I with mine. I'm sure they will sound and feel just fine and we will all be happy consumers, until we find the next one that we need... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet you over 75% of us out here name at least 1 of their guitars something... Heck even J. Page names his, and one of its name is # 2.. Go figure, that seems weird, but a pro. has so many...maybe his second favorite?? Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
