Are people seriously going to put a false claim in to Amazon on a guitar they've had for about 35% of its original price?

I was joking..... If I'm not happy I'll just send back for a refund.

Not sure about the g force tuners, I bought a 2014 standard from GV that had min-e-tune. It always tuned the low e sharp and I could never fix it, so it came off and replaced with Grovers.

Easy enough to replace though. The g force is supposed to be improved over the min-etune.

I would hope not - although there is something a bit pikey about this thread

I hope they're joking!The 'claims' reported in previous posts were all for genuine issues.

That would be my concern, that down the line people with genuine claims are ignored by the retailer.

On this version of the tuners you can fine tune the settings so they are in tune to your ear so to speak. Not sure you could do that on the 2014 version, so any little things like that should be sorted with a quick read through of the instructions.

The tuners was the big reason I wanted the guitar, I know I'm in the minority, but from the experiences I've had with them as long as its charged and used correctly it works well.

When you get your 2015s, follow the instructions carefully ! Fully charge the G Force and you'll get good results

The DC keeps going in and out of my basket... no pun intended.

So ridiculously gutted I've missed out on all of these offers...couple of pages back I mentioned how I ordered a classic from DV247 - they the proceeded to sell that guitar on to someone else. My finance stayed in limbo yet to get a different guitar from them I have to apply for finance again and wouldn't be on the same terms. This was only clarified today as I've missed out on all of these deals. So so frustrating an really disappointed in them as a retailer.  Should have pulled the trigger on a junior this morning but decided to wait out the finance to see if they could do anything.

Amazon have a 'pay monthly' facility - have you tried that?

Didn't necessarily need the finance - could have bought one but I was waiting for it to come though which annoyingly they could have easily told me yesterday what I needed to know and didn't!

@piercelmno with so many sold there are bound to be returns popping up on the Amazon warehouse site - will let you know if I see any!

piercelmno

Yeah I'm going to keep an eye out! But maybe it's a sign I don't need another guitar....

....but that sounds ridiculous!

That thought had occurred to me as well. Well worth keeping an eye on the Warehouse deals over the next few weeks also, plus the Warehouse 10% discount. Could be more good deals to be had yet

I reckon many will turn up 2nd hand in classifieds, Gumtree, Ebay etc, after the bargain hunt syndrome wears off.

LooseMoose

Mine will just go back if I'm not 100% happy with it.  Never tried the necks on these and they certainly seem to upset a lot of people, so will be interesting to see if I dig it or not.

It's a bit different than the usual Gibson profile, 1/10th of an inch wider at the nut. String spacing is the same as usual though. IMO it takes about 5 minutes to get used to it but it's not a deal breaker. No different to changing between a Fender and Gibson neck

Back up to £490 now.

Edit: Amazon sold out, Musik Produktiv GmbH. selling them for £490

I've made so much fuss about these 2015's and now, on the eve of getting one, I am so bloody excited! Maybe it's the fact that it's the bargain of the century.


It could also be the fact that I've ordered a Pink Taco and 1x12 combo from Peach.....

MatthewShreddery

Ordered a red lp junior this morning.
