Riverside Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Someone from Gibson needs to come in here and clear all this up for those of us that have one on order. I'm not gonna hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whirligig Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I just hope' date=' that when they do get back to production, they'll not just crank them out, just to meet the demand, but actually take the time, to fully sand out the carving (top) rings, and give it a decent finish. I've seen a couple of photos, that looked ike the tops were still a bit "rough," prior to finishing...especially near the upper (top, not "horn") bout/neck joint. I hope those are NOT going to be the "norm?" I realize, it's a less expensive LP, with the lighter, matte finish...but I hope they'll be first rate, in all other areas?!

charlie brown Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Good point. Me too. Where'd you see those photos at? Well, the overall shot, on the Gibson Website, has what looks to be some slight "dimpling" in the Gold paint, between the toggle switch, and the fingerboard, on the upper bout. BUT... It MAY be just shadowing, from the frets giving that illusion?? I HOPE, that's all it is! Other photos, of the Honeyburst finish don't show anything like that, so??? I'm hoping it's just shadowing, etc. ;>b CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lespaul339 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Oh yeah, I see what your talking about now. Looks like it could be a shadow from the fretboard, but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truetone6 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I decided to double down.I ordered a second Goldtop from MF. Which do you think will get their shipment first Amazon or Musicians Friend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truetone6 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Read this on another forum today: "If you are ordering the godtop, prepare to wait till Christmas. There is a so much backorder for the goldtop and not enough to fulfill the first three shipments. Before you order, I suggest calling first and ask how many orders had been placed before yours and how many are they expected to receive." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lespaul339 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I don't mid waiting, as long as I actually get the guitar I have on backorder. Gibson needs to come out and say how many of each color they are doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truetone6 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I got a backorder notice from MF today "Thank you for your recent order #S0264**** We are temporarily out of stock on the item(s) noted below, but have more on order with the manufacturer. We will ship them to you as soon as we receive them. We sincerely appreciate your patience." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Perhaps if everyone made ten or twenty more orders, it might hurry things along. Could always cancel them later.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowgard Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Whoo! Stumbled on one in a shop its a Honey burst love it! Though I wanted a GT......... Good for you dude. I ordered a Honeyburst one a week ago and God only knows when it'll get here. Give us a review and let us know if it's worth the wait.

Surveyor Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I too got a backorder notice, from guitar center's website. My peeve about this whole thing is; I got an email from Gibson about this guitar. AFTER all the production was allocated. WTH are you thinking Gibson? How about letting people know about these thing before the window of opportunity is almost closed. Now begins the wait to see if this guitar will materialize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesguitar65 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I got a backorder notice from MF today "Thank you for your recent order #S0264**** We are temporarily out of stock on the item(s) noted below' date=' but have more on order with the manufacturer. We will ship them to you as soon as we receive them. We sincerely appreciate your patience." [/quote'] I ordered the Godtop yesterday also. MF sent me an email around 4 pm stating that the Les Paul Studio 50 Tribute was avialable for pre-order. I called them up last week regarding why they were not selling the 50s tribute LP studio. I placed the order ASAP within seconds of recieving the email. So far I have not received that "temporarily out of stock" email. I purchased two goldtops.

afireinside Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Ya I guess they said that this one came with a faulty toggle switch from the factory, they sent it out for repair and I musta saw it when it came back. Remember they have 2 blacks on the wall RIGHT NOW if anyone wants them. They also told me they had about a dozen golds. Word spread on a fender fourm a few weeks back and people all over the US bought them over the phone........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
