    My dirty lemon choice has been made and I couldn’t be happier, Peach are definitely great guys to deal with.
    What was the remaining weight range?
    Still plenty between 8 & 9 lbs

    Whoever bought the washed cherry #7222 just saved me from an expensive error. :) Nearly jumped on it, although I do *not* need it at all...

    Bizarre, when you look at the 3 Tobacco, the 2 heavier seems like they have 1 piece mapple top and the lightest one 2?

    I like the 2 piece top but one side is darker than the other so that put me off

    If you're viewing a particular guitar on the Peach website, if you scroll down to 'option' you can choose a different serial number.

    Congrats man, hope mine looks like that , I will be more than happy 
    Fingers crossed for you mate!  Let me know what you think when you get yours!

    I just pulled the trigger on 871297 .Not flamey at all but it was the lightest of the batch. Were you the first in line for the lemons?

    Yes apparently I was. Not had that happen before haha. 

    Nice one. I think I remember that one, again noticing the weight and being tempted. If I didn’t have the idea of getting one as close to Stripe, I think I would’ve gone lighter this time.

    When is yours due for delivery? Im sure you’ll love it!

    Yes it’s nice, wish it had your flame though. I was thinking of putting a newly acquired set of double white Tom Holmes but I liked your look with double black and you got me thinking 
    i bank wired the money because I wanted to avoid PayPal high fees so it will take some time . I live in Greece

    @terada well happy with it mate!

    It looks different/better in person than on the pictures, the finish is flawless with a nice dark rosewood fretboard.  The neck thickness is quite thin for a '59 which is perfect for me.

    I was a bit worried that it might be too heavy being one of the more heavy ones but it doesn't feel heavy at all.

    Most importantly it plays and sounds great, even unplugged the notes ring out clearly when playing chords.

    If I had enough funds I'd have bought 2 of them

    Nice - that’s the one I was two clicks away from grabbing before I showed the faintest amount of very out-of-character self-restraint. 

    (PM me if you ever want to sell it on someday...) ;)

    Double whites would like nice definitely. I’ve always had a thing for the black, especially against the lemon body. 

    Ah well I’m sure it will be worth the wait. The actual guitars are lighter in colour than the photos showed which is a good thing.

    Mine is looking particularly flamey tonight, just been doing a spot of recording. Some days it looks completely plain, I can't figure it out. Easily confused by physics

    Great news - glad its everything you wanted!

    These are really great guitars, in a few years I think we'll all be pretty pleased getting them for this price.

    That looks lovely. I think the flame thing depends on the following:

    The depth of flame in the maple itself
    Viewing angle
    lighting

    Ah okay that makes sense.  Mine must be shallow because it only pops out on occasions.  I never get tired of looking at it!
