New Epiphones starting to appear? (Page 16 of 32)

Hi folks, just ordered one from Thomann in Germany. Only 150 JB Epi for Europe ! Hard to find, I'm really excited to get it.
I already have the 60 tribute with classic 57 Gibson pickups and I think it's a great guitar for the value (a LP Standard is a bit too pricey for me).
I'll let you know how it feels when I get it (y the end of the week).
Cheers

Just had a phone call that mine has just arrived and is ready for despatch. I may well have been the first in the UK to order a JB Epiphone back in early September, so I've been waiting very patiently for quite some time.  Let's hope it's all in one piece!

When it rains it pours!

Last week I went looking for a dealer who may still have stock or guitars on backorder and had no luck.  Just the other day Petty recommended George's Music and as luck would have it they had the guitar in one of their stores and now it is being shipped to Philly and should be here Monday.  By chance I also called ZZounds and was also able to get on their backorder list since they had not sold them all, but delivery is not expected until sometime after March 10th.  Then I get a call this morning from Guitar Center and they have one as well and it is now being shipped to a nearby Guitar Center store.

So now I have three guitars coming to Philly, what's a poor sod to do?  Based on what I have read on this thread I think it would be wise to at least let the two guitars come to George's & Guitar Center and pick the best one and if I get a good one out those two I'll cancel my ZZounds order.

Or could there be any reason to own two of these guitars?

Hi Phil,

Let me know when it arrives and I will be only to happy to give it a test drive for you, 2 - 3 months should be about right.

Enjoy it when it arrives, i didn't know you played, maybe we can get together some time with Pete the cabby as well and blow away some cobwebs!!!    

Have Fun and laugh like it's your first time! You never know you might get to like it!

Hi Spider.
Im shure youre right about that most guitars goes over here i Europe ,JB is such a big name over here (HUGE is maybe a better word ),and if this epi is as good as it looks ,im shure they will be torn away.
Hi from Topper ,Denmark ,Fender ,Gibson ,Ibanez and all that in between 

Well I ordered mine in October from AMS.....UPS lost it for a while but got it yesterday 2/9/11....I have a twisted head stock....I've seen a couple of guys have that same s__t to....Damn.....BUT the sound is great....pops and pick-ups the best I ever used...

UPS driver must have been too busy or too scared to walk up my iced over driveway today. He tossed the box out at the end of my driveway and hurried off.

Welcome Topper and Indy!

Indy, I was with "Sleazy Co." as we called ourselves back then. 1st PLT. E Co. 2/2, 1974 to 77. Back then we were just a big bunch of $hit birds but we took care of each other, busted/kicked butts, took names and my god we had fun doing it too!
Semper MF'ing Fi!

Well at least you got yours Andy! UPS has been only semi helpful so far. My driveway is screwed with all the snow and the driver did 3 drivebys while I was away on work assignments. I did stop by the Rochester UPS depot on Friday only to learn that they close at 7 and the driver wasn't due back until 8:30. Also they are closed from 7 PM Friday until noon on Monday.
I was unable to have them deliver it to my girlfriend's house (bureaucratic BS). So now it's sitting at the UPS depot until Tuesday when they will send it back to AMS. If I don't get there by 7 PM tomorrow it looks like I need to take a day off on Monday (bastids!). And I still don't know if mine has a warped or cracked neck...
