R8 Peach Deal

dbphoto · August 2018

GuitarGuitar have been listing them wrong, they are the same 2017 models as Peach, so 59 necks.

Boromedic · August 2018

Are all the negative comments attempts at humour, or just jealousy and sour grapes?? This was a nice thread as were some of the linked ones, but every so often there is a snide comment and I can't decide whether it's folk trying to be funny or the opposite. Like someone questioning why one particular member bought one (why the hell can't he?), or chatting about hysteria related to them or flipping them. If someone here decides tomorrow or in a months time to sell theirs, everyone here will know what they paid and what the market currently is, so they'll get what the market deems is acceptable won't they? If they sell off the FB they may well get a higher price even, who cares. Doesn't affect you or your life, or anything else for that matter, it's between buyer and seller.

Read and watch with interest and okay try and make a funny if you think you are, but don't piss in other peoples chips because of jealousy, it's really not necessary.

Christ there are loads of them!

I wish GG would just list them properly. Mind you the last time I bought from them they actually did a good job.

Peach are obviously the stars, with Coda.

Shocked that GG can't be bothered to post photos of the tops....lazy. Not exactly hard work is it.

Mass insanity or what?!

Yeah I'm a bit like that myself. I am an LP guy though (but I don't need one).

Anyway I can get to Epsom this afternoon so feel free to PM me your credit card number.

I’m still keen to grab one but I’d rather go without than gamble on GG

Awaiting Coda’s next delivery

Musicman20 · August 2018

Hmmm...just chatted online to GuitarGuitar.

More confusion.

I asked about the neck profile, response is:

'these are 58s

there are 59s coming in as well'

Honestly, I think they don't know what they are talking about.

The neck carve on 57/58/59s was the same across 2017 CS Standards - 59.

You'll be needing my mother's maiden name and the name of my first pet too, I'd wager.

Funny isn't it....they do one thing, sell guitars/instruments, yet they can't even make sure they are getting the spec right on a £2500 guitar.

Admittedly, memorising variance on specs across thousands of products that vary slightly from year to year is not necessarily the easiest thing to keep up on. But surely you'd know on the premiere products, the high-ticket stuff...

pmg · August 2018

Tried to get details of the weights but only got one confirmed (9lbs 1)

dindude · August 2018

Maybe it's paranoia and I've nothing to back this up, but I'd be worried that some of the ones coming through now aren't the rejects from other stores sent back.

JerkMoans · August 2018

I've seen pictures of the two in the Birmingham store and am told each weighs 8.9 lbs. Entertainingly, each picture shows a missing switch tip!

Whitecat · August 2018

They usually ship them with the switch tip in the case...

Twinfan · August 2018

Yep, to save any damage the switch tip is in the case pocket along with the certificate.

pmg · August 2018

Too heavy for my preference

Is that Dirty Lemon? Looks browner than I'd expectet.

Yes to stop them getting bashed about

Got an Amazon Warehouse SG once with a smashed in switch tip, admittedly in a soft case but yeah

johnl · August 2018

Finally pulled the trigger. Look out for sales of literally everything else I own on the Classifieds shortly....

Dirty Lemon plain top....now just waiting for photos from GuitarGuitar so I can choose exactly which plain top

pmbomb · August 2018

happy NGD John, may we enjoy it vicariously through you?

Musicman20 · August 2018

I'm still holding out for Peach or Coda...I'd like one but it has to be right for £2,500.

+ 1.

for this kind of money it has to be spot on.

it's not a must-have.

That’s incredibly lazy on GG’s part. Yes it’s a good deal but there can’t be many that will throw 2.5K at a guitar they can’t see or weight etc

There clearly is enough people as the 5 they had a short time ago has now dropped to 2.

Not to mention the few dozen they sold last week.

pmbomb · August 2018

Now 2 left on the GG link (so that's 3 sales to here, nowhere else?) - though they also say in stock at 3 shops. Ahem!

What fun.

Howdy, Stranger!
