All the best Henry " Can't blame them for wanting to sell some more, but they've hucked this whole thing up right from the very first post in this thread. I note with some amusement that the anointed few who have been allowed to post on that forum have had strings pulled by execs to find out where their orders were... They need to have something else (other than a flood that occurred a month before the "announcement") to explain why they've failed so badly with this.

Andre S Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Why is Music123 taking orders for them and saying they will get them by November 6th? Is this actually happening or will these orders be cancelled? I wouldn't mind getting one (goldtop), but not if I have to put up with the delivery date changing a billion times before it actually arrives. Hmm... By the popularity Gibson should make this a full model not a limited production model. (forgive me if something like that has been said, I didn't read through the previous 82 pages.)

Andre S Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I got one ordered from 123 last night. I did receive a backorder email, but the web said it would it was expected 11/6. We'll see. I'm still waiting on the first one, too. Not only that someone at MLP said they spoke to someone at M123 and ordered one. BTW Wildwoodguitars lists a white and a black model being in stock if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonkers Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Zonk, did you change the "hardware," on your HB Tribute. The pickguard bracket, looks different, as does the bridge. "Tone Pro's?" CB No sir, nothing but the strings were changed. Leaving it as stock as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 No sir, nothing but the strings were changed. Leaving it as stock as possible. How interesting. My pickguard bracket doesn't show that channel, down the middle, or the "see through" portion, on the bridge. I wonder if they use different hardware, according to what's available at the particular builder's station??? CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonkers Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Could it be the angle of the picture? Also my pick guard is raised up on the outer side of the body. Not sure what you're referring to with the 'channel' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truetone6 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 The tribute guitar is a limited run. This was made clear before it was made available to dealers. When you have something desirable that is limited, you will have many dealers and fans that are disappointed. That is what a limited resource implies. I am sorry for your disappointment, and there are many posts from fans like you that would have liked the instrument. We intend on keeping our word. When we make a promise to people buying our product, we need to keep it. We promised people this would be a limited run, and it will be. I have already responded to several posts on this issue and encourage you to search for my responses, and the dialogue around those posts. Thanks for taking time to let us know how you feel.

Not sure what you're referring to with the 'channel' On the photo of your Honeyburst, there's a "channel(?)," or metal strip, in the middle of the pickguard bracket (top), that isn't on any other's that I've seen...at least as "standard" equipment. Also, from the angle of the photo, you can see through the bridge, to the guitar's top/finish, below. That's a bit unusual, too. If it's not...then "Mine" is the odd one, I guess? LOL No big deal, just a mild curiosity. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iodine74 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hi everyone. Been lurking around since June or so. I knew I wanted one right away, but had to wait on some ebay/Paypal funds to clear before I could pre-order. Of course by the time they did, goldtops and honeybursts were taken down from all the sites. Was pretty ticked. Back in July I called a store we've got here in town to see if they knew if they'd be getting any, they put me on a 'call' list. Ended up getting that call a few weeks ago, went by after work to check it out and ended up bringing it home 2 Thursdays ago. I know some folks have done close up pics, I decided to do a short vid this weekend where I just shoot it at different angles. thought some of you might be interested. I've got another that I need to upload where I focus on the body. Mine appears to be a 3 piece for the main body. It might be 4, but the way the grain is... kinda hard to tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inthemeadow Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Just a little word from France to say that I received my tribute 50s HB this morning from the german website https://www.musik-schmidt.de. I ordered it in the beginning of July. 3 parts body. The setup is a little high for my play, but no big deal here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called Music 123 and the CSR said its not a mistake on the webpage,they really are expecting a shipment of "Studio 50s Tributes" approx 10/30 so if anybody wants one you better order while you still can. I think Music 123 is the only big internet store that is still taking pre-orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
