Okay the squeamish among you may wish to look away at this point...

Jesus titty f'ing Christ what have you done?!! 

Burn the heretic! 

Surely there must be a responsible ownership clause?

Peach have been great through this thread, but they’ve played this one wrong (for them) imo

Have we? The guitar were sold in store and online as soon as they went up? We are a bricks and mortar store don't forget. We do have customers in the shop every day looking for les pauls!

No you haven't. Well done for letting someone else get their hands on one before the vultures on here pounced! A lot of greed in this thread.

Ok. If they pass the QC, we will put a message on here saying what time they’ll go live and then everyone can have a fair crack at it.

For me you have.

You didn't do what you said you would.

What's worse I spoke to your store when they were in stock for info on them, but rather than give any info was told to check the forum as they would go up there first.

Looks great and what a top. What is the pickup in the bridge now?

Cheers.  It's an early 1980s Super Distortion (triangle legs, 2x3 bobbin holes, two core conductor+earth), so a historically accurate molestation

My choices were to leave it at home with stock pup, or change it and take it out with me

You definitely made the best choice!

Perfect for one of these!

I, for one am never going to bash Peach, not only have they always given me excellent Trade ins but also been very upfront about the whole R8 issue and the Feeding Frenzy that has surrounding these excellent deals.

I had the ding touched up as well and the nut cut for 11s, after all the work there's still ££ left in my pocket from GG part refund

If "played it wrong" means selling lots of expensive goods for the asking price immediately, I'll take some of that wrong for my day job please.

That's not what I meant by it. For me it's not about selling goods at a bargain price (clearly not rocket science as GG did it as a lucky dip without pics or weights), but the impression it gives.

I definitely feel like it was misleading (not that it was especially significant to me as I'd already made a purchase).

I'm sure this wasn't their intention, but if that was the genuine feedback my clients had of actions my business took you can bet that I'd want to know about it and review how that perception could come to be.

No bashing from me, I myself have had good experience with them - even stated so in this thread. No polarising from me either, I think they could have done much better on the most recent batch.

That said, perhaps it is best to leave it there, as this thread has been wonderful and it would be to its detriment for it move in such a negative direction. Peach, if you would like feedback PM me.

The first guitar that was qc'd and photographed went online and i notified the forum straight away and Gareth purchased it immediately.

That's very true, but what about the three Dirty Lemons?  I think people were waiting on a notification for those too.

Just found out that this dirty lemon will shortly be on GG. Part of the latest batch. Weight 9.1lb

They were but they were sold before i got a chance to. The web team put the last 2 online last night and they subsequently sold immediately. I do have 2 more coming that i've allocated to my own account within the shop, so they can't be sold before i get my hands on them.

I don’t understand why anyone here think Peach owes them anything....

they are a business and in my opinion one of the most customer focused out there. As such, they need to remain as unbiased and consistent to all of their customers, whether they are people on here, Facebook, web and of course those that come in store. 

To get the guitars ready, they need to go through QC (which you’ve all admitted has been great, rather than the GuitarGuitar version) and that takes time - they have one tech who sorts this all out and they have many, many other guitars to check over - unbelievably their business does not rest soley on £2.5k Les Pauls....

Next is pictures, which again takes time because as many have said here, Peach’s pics/descriptions give a clear indication of what the guitar actually looks like and of course they also weigh them. 

I don’t think anyone should give them any stick for taking the time to do these things or for selling guitars in store before letting anyone here know, especially considering how they have been with everyone during this whole thing (including adding some free stuff in the case when people moaned about sticky necks!). 

Talk about biting the hand that feeds. Maybe next time they won’t be so inclined to let us know about anything!
