Tell us more about the guitar! Love the top.

@Garsing I think you can find me trying to build up the nerve to buy one on pages 1-25 of this thread and then a load of photos on page 35

New amp turned up today. I'm not sure if anyone has ever noticed this but a Les Paul through a Marshall is a pretty good combination......

By golly - I think you might be right!

Aye, I really like, and it’s nice having two very different variations of the same theme.

I wouldn’t have paid the usual asking price though, but the £599 they were available at a couple of months ago suited me.

That’s a great price by today’s standards

I paid less than that new when they came out when pricing was reasonable. I bought 3, one in each finish. Should never have sold the gold top

Marshalls and Les Pauls? Nah, rubbish mate

(alas that amp is due to be traded in this weekend - if anyone fancies a steal PM me)

^ My favourite pic / Paul on this thread so far. Lovely. If only it had a switch tip... :0)

Whitecat · October 2018

Oooh, Coda has one I don’t recognise...

Definitely been on the site before. The pics are the same style as the last batch of guitars that appeared, around 5 from memory a couple of weeks ago.

Another return?

That’s the one I sent back. Amazing sound. Absolutely nothing wrong with it to my mind.

Why did I send it back? I swapped it for one that had a really nice grain to it which thankfully sounded just as good. I would have kept it if the grainy one didn’t sound just as good.

It looks better in real life than the coda site.

mli3 · October 2018

Jonathanthomas83 · October 2018

Nice grain on that, so gawd knows how good your new one is!

mli3 · October 2018

Well you did ask !

Fair enough. Just one that *I* never saw the first time around.

Good that you can vouch for it @mli3. ;

Twinfan · October 2018

So there are two at Coda and one at Peach. Must be the last ones knocking about?

It has indeed, sometime today it seems!

Twinfan · October 2018

I see they're both still available as are the two at Coda. I bet if they were all Iced Tea or Dirty Lemon they'd be gone by now...

Boromedic · October 2018

I spied a Lemon and saw that it was dirty.... Mmmmmmm

terada · October 2018

There will be another iced tea coming up at GG soon. I'd expect early next week

8.5lb and very nice sounding

Is it yours? I talked to them and they didn't know that a new Iced Tea is coming.

Jonathanthomas83 · October 2018

I think @terada is the R* fountain of all knowledge!

Howdy, Stranger!
