I agree, though that's a stock photo, would love to see a proper one.

Yes it does

Vintage Cherry sunburst which is also different to the washed cherry. Confusing listing

Some guys at Epsom GG told me, this morning, they have some more washed cherry on the way BUT they're pretty much accounted for with back orders etc...

So where did all the talk of Peach & Coda getting a fresh delivery at the tail end of last week come from?

Ours will just be replacements for the ones that we backed due to faults and marks etc

No. It’s all a bit up in the air as to whether we’ll get credits or replacement guitars for the ones that arrived faulty. That’s why we haven’t started taking orders and promising customers when we might not be able to be deliver. I will know this week though

Thank you for the response. I’m keen on an Ice tea or filthy lemon  should any become available

So, two things.

Firstly, is there really nobody who got carried away and bought one, only to have a change of heart and decide to return it?

And secondly, is anyone else feeling a little bit sad about taking the Gibson Custom sticker off the pickguard??

I think you'll be on your own with that one.

Ha, only because I don't have a band, fella. I'll probably take it for a jam with my mate one day, with any luck :-)

Or a fretboard jam? I'm taking mine to the Leicester and Huddersfield hams, where I fully expect @pmbomb to need Kleenex once he's had a go

The ‘sticker’ isn’t sticky, it can be peeled off and reattached as you wish.
