Gentleman,

the guitar guitar courier van is full! 

Thank you for your order with us,

I am sorry to say this but your guitar will be delayed by one day this will be with you by Thursday!

The courier did not have enough space on the van today with the bank holiday back log and there has been a few items unable to go, 

I am very sorry about this I do hope Thursday is okay if not I can upgrade this to Saturday or Sunday deliver free of charge if this is better for you 

Kind Regards, 

Emma

Good find @johnl ;

wonder why the 59 & 60s were nearly $2000 more? Also, is there a backlog of this model waiting in the wings?

My wife gave me the go ahead but GG only have the cherry ones left, which I don't really like.  I know it's shallow but I do prefer certain colours.

I'm also reluctant to spend that much on a guitar without trying it.

Finding GG hard to deal with & I’m trying to spend 2.5k! It’s really like guitars aren’t something they’re used to selling & know nothing about what matters to every single buyer in this - weight + photos. Should be a production line to get that detail. They only had 15-20 across 5 stores! Ah well.

This thread is crazy.
I have an R8
I love my R8
I'd never considered buying another R8
But...........


Stop it. Stop it now!!

When you put it like that, and given their likely staff numbers, that's terrible. 

Only have good things to say about my experience this morning.

Coda and Peach later this week for other finishes, maybe?

Similar thing happened to me, worth contacting them. Did you get accepted and did it all go through?

Figured tops (although some 58 tops are surprisingly figured too) and allegedly they sort the mahogany bodies so the very lightest ones go to R9 & 0s - but that’s it this time around.
