This thread could go on for months. Someone buys your return, and then they return it and so on ........

Which begs the question, how many times does a Guitar need to be returned before it can only be sold as “used”.

I think once a guitar goes back after say a week with a customer, really it needs to have a slight discount or at least it needs to be listed as returned.

That does it for me!

I think you may have got the best top of the bunch in washed cherry and the colour is superb.

Legionreturns said:

Wow @Modellista that is a stunner! Definitely one of my favourite ones so far! Congratulations!

Cheers guys. 'Tis a lovely-looking thing. Need to get it plugged into a bit of hot metal ASAP.

Never having had a bit of wood like this before I'm surprised at how it changes depending on the lighting and the angle. Straight on in diffuse light the top looks almost totally plain. Obviously I maximised the angle and the lighting for the pics

For anybody looking for a Cherry 58... this has popped up on Coda's site...
https://www.coda-music.com/gibson-custom-shop-2017-1958-les-paul-standard-plaintop-iced-tea-871323.html

The description says Cherry... the URL says Iced Tea. Photo looks like Cherry, to me. Whatever it's called... it looks nice.

there is a washed cherry currently up on coda

Duplicated an old listing, fixed that now, thanks for the heads up....

Wow @Modellista , flames aren't my thing but jeez that is one gorgeous guitar!! Congrats and enjoy

P.S. Did you get your Parmo at the jam btw?!

barnstorm · September 2018

[I haven't kept up with the thread, so apologies if someone's already mentioned this.]

It looks like there are three more at Max Guitar, should anybody who missed out still want one. An Iced Tea, a Dirty Lemon and a Faded Tobacco.

You'll have to pay a bit more, though: thanks to the exchange rate they're about £2695 rather than £2500.

These have been up for a week now. I got my es335 figured antique cherry last Friday. Stunning top and a really nice piece of rosewood.

Cheers dude.

I didn't manage a Parmo I'm afraid. I literally had 15 minutes to nip to Magic Rock before I had to go into town for a haircut and meet @Legionreturns . Walked past the stall though, it looked very posh and rather tasty. Nothing like a real Parmo

A brief interlude from all the lovely 2017 washed cherries and iced teas, here’s a slightly more unusual 2013 R8 in “kindred burst”, basically a dark tobacco. Totally non vintage correct of course!

https://imgur.com/gallery/a8RUcTf

You say non-vintage correct, but I believe the Kindred Burst finish was based on Joe Perry's darkburst.

My a string buzzing all the way along the fretboard, low and high notes... not what I’d expected reading all the posts here so far

Try loosening the truss rod a touch. If anything the neck will have shifted since factory setup

I tried loosening the truss rod a bit but buzz still there and only happens on the A string. Any other ideas ? Really grating on me now grrrrr.

At the top of the neck or the bottom mate? By the nut is usually truss and at the top is usually bridge. Maybe the bridge needs raising a hair on the bass side. The two adjustments are interactive IME (someone with more knowledge feel free to correct)

mli3 · September 2018

All along the neck really from fret 4 to 15

Yup but the Perry was a 59. As far as I'm aware there weren't any darkbursts made in 1958.

No harm in raising the bass side of the bridge a hair. Slacken the strings off first, there's no friggin bushings on these things which makes me slightly nervous

Howdy, Stranger!
