Members cbh5150 Posted June 23, 2010 Members Share Posted June 23, 2010 After seeing some of the more recent posts, I got concerned, so I called AMS to check on my backorder (HB). The rep told me that they had 24 orders for the HB, and are receiving exactly 24 - so, it looks like AMS did it right.FWIW, I was also told that they still show the ship dates as being 6/29, 7/9 and 8/7 (although she couldn't say where I was on the food chain), so I would want to think that AMS is still expecting them as planned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bsman Posted June 23, 2010 Members Share Posted June 23, 2010 wow they look so young there... I note that Mike and Tom are playing Rickenbachers, which have (or at least had) waiting times that make those for the LP tributes seem short...

Bigsby trem amber finish so the only thing in common with the '50s tribute goldtop will be the P90 neck/bridge? :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bisticles Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 I'm still very excited about the prospect of my goldtop preorder coming to fruition. When I first saw it, I thought "hot damn, that's a great looking guitar". Then I saw that it was a dressed-up studio wit a reasonable price, and decided to pounce on it. Whether or not my Sweetwater preorder actually gets me one, and whether that's 1 month or 4 is actually good, because it's kind of put me into a holding pattern on gear purchases in the meantime. That said... I do have a case and a nice new Levy's strap all picked out for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
