R8 Peach Deal

Ossyrocks

I'm expecting my two in the next two hours according to my notifications.

I'm "working from home" today, but it's pretty hard to get anything meaningful done!

I can’t believe there aren’t r9s & other models similarly stocked waiting to be dropped.

GuitarGuitar already have loads of 59’s and 60’s discounted down to £3499 from £5899

yeah that's the same "40% then rounded down a tad" discount.

flip me, some people pay nearly 6 grand for these things? ???  

I would guess from the fact they're flogging them off with a 40% discount, not many people ever did pay £6k for one!

This thread is nuts. 

I don't really want or need an R8, I have 'too many' guitars (I know, I know) and I already have a Les Paul Custom that doesn't get played much these days (but I still love it), I don't have any spare cash and have no desire to get in debt over a guitar... but damn it's tempting!  

Enjoying watching you guys all snagging up a great deal though, so I'm enjoying an R8 by proxy.

Enjoy your NGD's today

Mine has just arrived. Surprisingly light, resonant and plays like butter. I'll stick up some photos once I manage to put it down....

Still pissed I missed out due to filling in finance forms

Looking forward to more NGD reports... I asked them to hold despatch on mine until today so I don't get to play until tomorrow...

Some nice flame apparent in that pic. I bet if you held it just right against the light it would jump right out at you.

Congrats!

I'm not a cherry fan but that is stunning.

And the casualties continue to pile up!  Brilliant

I'm looking at the 330s

I'm trying (and failing) to convince the other half that it isn't just a guitar, it's a nice furniture piece that will impress all of our friends.  It would also match the current living room decor.

Some please post more suggestions I could use.

Interesting, I ordered the same guitar (washed cherry) and asked GG to do the same thing and I was told they wouldn't do that for me...

"Thank you for your order, these are all boxed stock and are selling extremely fast so we would be unable to weigh it prior to dispatch I'm afriad. I'm sure you will love the guitar but you do have a 14 day return if there are any problems once you take delivery. If there are any problems please let me know."

I'm only spending two and half grand with them... It wasn't thattttttt much to ask surely?! Poor customer service from a box shifter in my opinion!

It's a bit of a risk buying a guitar that's worth more than my car blind but will take them up on their offer of returning it if I'm not happy! I'm sure it will be great though.

Congrats... I am doing exactly that at the moment (or near enough) :-)

That's why I didn't bother. £800 generic Fender, no issue, but £2499 custom Gibson, just take a photo for crying out loud.

I'm playing the waiting game.
