Blackflag Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Is it there yet? Is it there yet? A guy on on HCEGF got his Goldtop from Amazon today. I awoke to a most atypical Thursday... I'll post pics in the next day or so. First impressions are favorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnylove Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Hola,Well i ordered the GT at amazon a couple of days ago and when it arrived today, to my disappointment they sent me the HB. I was pretty upset and i called CS and they told me the only option is to send it back for a refund. Anyway, i've been playing this LP and it's just amazing! It looks like to me after carefully looking it's a 2 piece back so i guess that's a good thing. I have 30 days to decide. Just thought i share my story.

I'd keep it! If you really hate "Honeyburst," you could always have the top painted with "Gold" Nitro. Just my 2-cent's worth... CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just always wanted a gold top LP. j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modoc_333 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 honeybursts are around, and good guitars... wish i could get my hands on a goldtop again though. we have 3 honeybursts around the shop now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky scott 29 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I certainly wouldn't be disappointed with a Honey 2 piece, that's for sure. Looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeman Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 My Honeyburst is a 2 piece back and I love it. I was going to swap for mini's, but damn, these sound so good I'm going to leave well enough alone. So far just changed the knobs and added straplocks. I usually use 9-46 strings, I'm almost kinda afraid to change the strings, don't want to lose this sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnylove Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Ok, well i went to GC yesterday and they were having a big 20% off sale. So i went ahead and pre purchased a GT . The guy was very cool and said he's going to call gibson and other stores and try to find one for me. It's worth a shot! If he finds one great, if not i would be a fool to send back the HB to amazon. So for now, i'll enjoy this awesome guitar. thanks,j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamonded Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I bought a Honey Burst from Guitar Center in Austin just yesterday, but I had a few reservations about buying it due to a slight quality issue. This might be the wrong forum, and if it is I apoligize and will repost in the proper place. The problem I have is that there is more space between the low e string and the edge of the fretboard than there is with the high e string. It's not that big a deal because there is plenty of space between the high e and the edge so there is no chance of the string sliding off the edge, there is just more between the low e and the edge. Having said that it's a noticable difference. The nut is aligned perfectly, so that is not the problem, I think either the neck and body alignment isn't square or the bridge and tailpiece were drilled just a little off. I decided to buy it anyway because there is so much conflicting info on the amount of these that are going to be produced, that I thought I might not be able to find another one. It Doesn't effect playability, but it just doesn't look right and i'm not used to seeing this on Les Pauls, although I have noticed it on a few epiphones. When I bought it, it didn't seem like a big deal, but has been grating on me since I got it home. I guess I will call gc and see if they can find another one or maybe Gibson can work with me. Sorry if this seems like a rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd_artist Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 My honeyburst arrived yesterday and all I can say is WOW!, it is beautiful, I can see no signs of any relicing, it does have a 3 piece back and the first thing I noticed was how light it is, my 77 Standard weighed in at almost 10lbs. this one feels like a feather. So far I think this guitar shines on the clean tones it nails the 50s sound perfectly, it will do heavy distortion just fine but put this staight into a class A tube amp and it shines. I promise later today I will take some pics and get them posted.the one minor issue I have is with the toggle switch, it does not want to stay in the rythm postion it constantly pops back into the center postion, I am thinking a swithcraft switch will do the trick, I remember reading something about an issue with th toggle switches early on, whats the story?
