Re: New Epiphones starting to appear?
Just managed to get a new Joe Bonamassa Ltd Edition today will arrive friday. Can't wait. I thought they had all gone long ago but heard Academy of Sound, Stoke on Trent UK had a couple and stone me they had. Anyone looking try them quickly... First post so Hi all. Seeing Joe October in Blackpool, unfortunately in Florida when BCC are in the UK, what a pain....

Welcome to the forum! This is one of the best I've been a part of. Kind people, a lot of knowledge, and best of all - Joe's personal interaction!
You will love the Epi JB. Plays like it cost three times as much!

Re: New Epiphones starting to appear?
Still waiting for mine. I phoned Coda Music, in Luton yesterday where they had just got some in stock. Bought one! They set it up and sent it straight out, and I received this morning. Excellent guitar, and way better than any usual Epiphone. One thing though.......My `certificate` looks decididely photocopied to me, even though the number matches. Anyone else noticed this?

I think the cert is all photocopied apart from Joe's sig - He said in a recent interview how he had them all to sign in his apartment one night
Re: New Epiphones starting to appear?
I've had two of these, the first I sent back because of neck twist issues. Yes, the certs look photocopied, but the signatures are not a copy. Both of my certs had the same, but different, signature.
2011 Gibson Joe Bonamassa Les Paul Studio Gold Top, 2010 Epi Joe Bonamassa Les Paul Gold Top, 2010 Epi Les Paul Standard '57 Gold Top, 2010 Epi Les Paul Standard Honey Burst (autographed by Joe Bonamassa), 2006 Epi Les Paul Classic Quilt top, 2004 Eric Clapton Strat, 1989 First wife
Re: New Epiphones starting to appear?
On mine, even Joe's signature looks photocopied. Either that, or it's in black pen, and he has the lightest touch in the world!

Re: New Epiphones starting to appear?
I'm still waiting for mine to come in at DV247, but managed to find some in stock on Monday at coda music in Luton. Arrived yesterday and I love it. I'm usually a strat man, so that neck takes a bit of getting used to. What a tone though, and it was still in tune when I opened the case! Now, do I cancel my other order, or hang on and see if it arrives?
Re: New Epiphones starting to appear?
Lucky you Yorkidav. Not a word from DV24/7 to me yet. Just e-mailed them for update.
Let us know when you receive yours. Good Luck.

Re: New Epiphones starting to appear?
Well, I'm not holding my breath just yet...read the last sentence again. They've got their bases covered.
I had to ask them for an update, pointing out that other UK suppliers were getting stock and deliveries were being made to customers in NL (marhoog).
What The Fuzz ?!
Re: New Epiphones starting to appear?
Well, this is the reply I had from DV24/7 today.................................
Thank you for your continuing patience.
Your order is now in stock, the product arrived here with us yesterday.
Your Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Les Paul GT 6-String Les Paul Electric Guitar, has been released for dispatch today, so you should expect to take delivery tomorrow.
Once the goods have reached the courier you will be sent an email containing your tracking number.
Kind Regards
I do like the " so you should expect to take delivery tomorrow" bit, highly amusing since I have not yet received the tracking number .
Still, you never know??????
Re: New Epiphones starting to appear?
Yippee!!!!!!!
Now have tracking number. It's on its way at last.
Roll on tomorrow!!!!!!

Re: New Epiphones starting to appear?
Mine arrived this morning, well packaged and on time. Condition is excellent apart from a small insignificant mark on the back. Set up all round is excellent, all it needed was tuning. What a beauty and great service from Academy of Sound at Stoke on Trent. If you are struggling to get your hands on one, I know he has one left. I just have to improve my playing to justify ownership. Good luck if you are still waiting. It will be worth it in the end.

Re: New Epiphones starting to appear?
Got it. But wait theirs a crack at the base of the neck, oh F*%k
Its going back.
What another bloody let down after all this time. DV24/7 are not sure if I will get a replacement due to it being discontinued. so another waiting game.
If anybody knows of anyone who has one for sale please let me know.
I still would like one. (in one piece of coarse)
Academy of Sound sold their last one an hour ago.
Will post pictures later.
