Busy day at the Peach office ...

NGD to beat all NGDs

I didn't sit and watch 45 minutes of unboxing, but their storeroom looks enormous (although we may be seeing 90% of the entire place on that screen, I suppose).

That order must be pushing 100k easily - they don't mess about.
Watching an endless parade of identical sunburst Les Pauls does get a bit soporific,
but I guess that says more about the British guitar buying public than Peach.

Strange as that may sound.

A video of 1 really good Les Paul gives me GAS, especially with some close ups, playing clean and gain.

A video of 20 really good Les Paul at 10 seconds each all looking the same deflates GAS.

If you can be bothered to look for it on YouTube, John did a video about the unit before they moved in however many years ago now. The shop bit stops where the loading bays are, if you've seen a picture of the exterior.

I feel like that sometimes wandering round guitar shops.  What seemed so special in a picture on its own is now just one of a row of guitars hanging on a rack.

Maybe UK buyers lack imagination

Completely agree, my takeaway from it was “Do we really need more burst Les Pauls ?”
I’ve nothing against them it does feel like they’ve been done to death.
That said, I’m not wired right, my favourite guitar on here at the moment is the tangerine metal flake B bender tele with white powder coated hardware, just needs a Tyler headstock and it would be perfect

I’d rather see SGs. I want to love Les Pauls but I’ve never found one that clicks with me

Not strange at all, even the more pragmatic among us like to feel a bit of a connection with our favourite guitar and would rather not be reminded that 400 identical guitars squirt off the conveyor belt every day.

I watched all of it. They weren't the only ones with a cracking semi by the end of it either...

The camera was too far away, you could hardly see the guitars.    Good to see there is a good choice of Gibson in the UK.

Point of order, on a quick look seemed to me each box had already been opened

I agree about Les Pauls, but although I love SGs I've never owned a really great one.  And I wish they were available in more colours!

The idea of Gibson having 20 identical Les Pauls is the funniest yet.

Carter Vintage have a gold one at the moment. I'm in lust.

that is very smart

I wonder if serious violinists get the same buzz out of 20 good violins ?

Not only does that look awesome, I've just looked at their website and it says it has a '50s neck profile!

I've just had a severe attack of GAS.  And it's my birthday.
