git - i wanted that one

Jesus that's a decent refund by Amazon, well done.

Cabicular

I'm pleasantly surprised

So it wasn't even shipped in a box - just a poly bag? Bloody hell. I wonder if that's how they ship all their guitars or just because it was a 'Warehouse Deal'? At least the guitar got to you in one piece!

Cabicular

I was pretty shocked at that
Would have been an issue if they hadn't sent it to England first
I can confirm The hard cases do a good job if that is any use

I wonder if this would just get shipped in a poly bag!

Update
So arrived today wrapped in a poly bag which had torn so the case was a bit scuffed at the corners
One of the catches is a little bent
The guitar itself is fine plays really nicely
There is some tarnishing on the top two tuners of the g force system but I'm not too bothered by that
Fret ends are a bit rough so they will need a bit of attention
Fretboard could use some oil it's a bit dry but I'm nitpicking.
I can see why the neck is devisive but I quite like it
I certainly don't struggle with it
Finish is as good as any production Gibson I've seen (id there are some tiny issues but nothing to get my knickers in a twist)
In view of the issues Amazon refunded 145 quid so all in all it has cost me 575 for a more or less new Les Paul Deluxe in Pelham Blue
I'm pretty happy with that

That is a crazy-good deal.

What sort of weight are the Deluxes?

My Les Paul Special was in a Gibson cardboard box with an outer blue poly bag wrapped around it when delivered from Amazon. Although mine wasn't a returned one as far a I know either.

Cabicular

It feels alright I would guess about 8.5
Lighter than my customs that's for sure

Will guitar village price match on any of these dv247 deals? I cyan stomach a standard at that price but tempted by a trad or classic.

Only if you take a toddler in with you holding a bar of warm chocolate and possessing an inquisitive nature.

Ha. I took my wife and two daughters in to guitar village when I wanted to buy a resonator. The girls were something like 6 and 9 and they politely asked if my wife could take them in to the amp room and stay there while I browsed. Everyone was a winner
