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

    Awaiting Coda’s next delivery 
    Exactly what I thought :)

    Funny how tastes change, not so long ago I was totally enamoured with bursts, not I much prefer plain or gold.

    Thanks mate - it's the er..."weird black bits" on the left that I really liked but have to say that all the ones that GG sent me photos of were great looking.

    Me too mate, not so much bursts but flame tops. I've surprised myself. Plainer the better with a subtle burst.

    This is a bit mental, all this. Gibson must be absolutely loving it.

    12 months interest free at Peach. Great deal there at GG (for 36 months), to be fair. But 12 months isn't to be barked at either.

    Re the Coda ones. I'm not sure how they will play it really. Just had a look at their site and they have a raft of 2018 R8's listed on there for £4099.

    I must admit my heart does a little somersault when I see a plain dirty lemon!  Still enamoured with mine though

    This experiment will certainly give Gibson something to think about.  If the usual price wasn't so steep would we still be this thirsty?

    It'll be the same way Peach and GG did it...they'll ignore the current stock and will list the ltd run at the new prices. Current stock stays the same.

    Yes I think so, just spread out demand not a chunk.

    My hunch (because it's my position!) is these are mostly going to people who wouldn't/couldn't buy at full price. So these are new sales for Gibson (and the dealers), rather than cannibalised.

    The ones on offer are 2017s. Coda already discounted and sold the ones they already had - they have more on the way.

    Maybe so. But I have bought 2 new historics from Peach before, both 2014's. Admittedly, I got Richard Henry to negotiate on both occasions. They were both significantly more money than this,  though I didn't pay the full advertised price at the time.

    In fact I sold one of them via TFB, for more than these new ones are.

    Just got my "Order Processed by our dispatch team" emails. There is now a fleet of vans departing Peach Guitars with a whole pile of lovely wood and wire in the back of them. 

    Needless to say, I will be mostly sitting at home tomorrow twitching the curtains.

    Me too, although my heart sank seeing it will be delivered by DPD as my experience of them over the last couple of weeks has been terrible.
