Artie Owl Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I don't know where you got 400 Duane, but as far as I know they're 600$ plus taxes, at least here in Canada. And in it's defence I do like the headstock it comes with just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Musicians Friend has 'em. $400 is the "Street Price" $600 is the MSRP. Where they come up with these MSRP's and Street Prices is a bit of a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky scott 29 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 If anybody wants one, do like I did..Just say you thought you had credit from another purchase, they said we can't tell how much the credit is for?? I know, but, that worked to my advantage, cuz I also told them, because, I had received email from them saying they did not want to lose my business, to do your best, or I will go elsewhere.. I also told him I know I'm buying one today, either from them or another place I had talked to already.. The next thing I know, he puts me on hold, comes back and says, $299.99 out the door no taxes, no shipping charges either.. They said that that was cost for them, but who knows for sure.... Anyways, if you want one, call: Music123 and ask for Scott, of all names, same, go figure... Online store.... That's the story, try it, I told him that some people from the Gibby forum just may call you out on that price.. . He said, have'm call, ask for Scott..... And no, it's not me...

Artie Owl Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 My longer delay is due to geography. They believe May or June because it has to come into the States, then be cleared to go out of the states. Rest assured I'll have plenty of pics of that beaut flame top when I do finally get it!

sparky scott 29 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 From the pictures From the people I have talked to, independently, each of the say the flamed top looked very good... From what I've seen, it looks great, but we all know how the pictures can be dolled up though... When are you suppose to get yours?? I find that date hard to believe..

They have no solid date yet, but that's ok, I can wait and save up for it. I've got confidence that the fireburst will be great just like the honeyburst you got!

duane v Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Well I played the Gibson Night Hawk (one with the three pups).... I don't like my pick placement in relationship to where my palm rests on the bridge, (right over the center of the bridge humbucker) I play too loud to not have my palm near the bridge to control the amp.... Not my cup of tea.... Dont like pickin directly over the pups, epsecially the bridge pup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djroge1 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I'm leaning towards the Black one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky scott 29 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 I hope I like mine, site unseen.. But, the price??I'm hoping Duane style is different than mine, since we all like different types, otherwise there would be only 1 type guitar, just different colors. . And OWL, that was my second choice.. I usually always end up with honey or Cherry Bursts for what ever reason.. Oh, and Duane, how was the sound vs play ability from your perspective??

Not my cup of tea.... Dont like pickin directly over the pups, epsecially the bridge pup I'm a little confused , are you saying the Bridge pickup is too close to the bridge, or not close enough? 'Cause I have issues with the way my palm rests on a traditional Stop Tailpiece, I feel I have to move too far over the strings to get them to mute. My nighthawks bridge seems very controllable, although I'm sure different techniques come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
