cowgard Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Thanks for the tip on the HERO discount. I was teetering on the brink of buying and the discount pushed me over. I'm a drummer but I love guitars. It doesn't seem right that I own more guitars than I know chords. Guess I better learn a couple more. Cool forum. I just joined.

GibsonWarrior Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Does anyone know if these will be available in the UK & Europe? What a thing of beauty!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulsaslim Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Yes, indeed. Thanks for the 'heads up' on the HERO discount. Man, my tax man had LOST my tax documents and only found them a couple of days ago. That was the bad news. The good news is that when he filled out my taxes they weren't nearly as bad as I expected. So now I've got this HERO thing looking me in the eye#-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Does anyone know if these will be available in the UK & Europe?What a thing of beauty!! My guess is that slow sales have prompted Musician's Friend to run an aggressive sale (note that the sale ends at the end of the month). As for the models, they should be available, but you can always ask Epi about it: service@gibson.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrasso Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Just got the $424 price for a P93 from MF too. You have to ask about the "HERO" deal. It breaks down like this: 10% off - $100 to $199.99 12% off - $200 to $449.99 15% off - $450 to $999.99 20% off - $1' date='000 and above I got the P93 and the $89 Epi 335 HSC for $499.80 inlcuding shipping. That was good enough for me to break out the VISA. [u']Thanks for the heads up Crabby![/u] I just got off the phone with Guitar Center and they are offering the same deal as MF. $499 including case and free shipping. I have a GC card and they are offering 12 months no financing on Epiphone products. Which works out to $41.58 a month. That's skipping two nights out at the pub per month. That I think is a no brainer. Will let you know and post picks if I go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1281734170 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I bought my amp from MF, then a flyer from GC came and had it at a lower price. They adjusted it for me. It's worth a try.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find a lower advertised price from any authorized U.S. dealer, call or email us. We’ll beat any verifiable advertised price before or after the sale. If you’ve already purchased from us and find a lower advertised price within 45 days of your purchase, contact us via phone or email and we’ll refund the difference after verification.

scelops Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Can any one here fill me in on how these things perform with overdrive/ gain? I currently have an Epiphone dot, Eastwood Sidejack, and a MIM Strat. I had a Casino for a short time, but volume/gain + hollow body=squeal. I know this is a semi hollow, so maybe there is a difference? Also how does the pickup selector work? Aesthetically, very appealing. -W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianh Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 My Epi P93 and case shipped from MF yesterday and are in transit. I ordered the 335 case assuming they would put the guitar in the case to ship. Seems logical right? But no, they are shipping separately. At first I was PO'd thinking my P93 was more likely to get damaged, but then I thought maybe the mfrs shipping box is just as good if not better for protection. Or perhaps it's easier for MF to get an insurance reimbursement if damaged in the original box rather than the case. The Bigsby may have something to do with it too. Any thoughts?

The headstock was cracked at the nut all the way across. They really don't pack these well enough. I'm not a happy camper. MF is sending another and I'm packing this one back up and shipping back.

unreal77 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 ouch. I bought mine from ebay on january and it camr floating on the box. Very bad packaging but thankfully nothing happened. Epiphone must have learned something from the first batch. There were many broken p93s from transit last time around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
