Members WoodenDuckMaker Posted June 28, 2010 Members Share Posted June 28, 2010 hows the situation looking with sweetwater currently? i was number 8 out 7 available honeybursts to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cbh5150 Posted June 28, 2010 Members Share Posted June 28, 2010 So how many of these things are we going to end up with in the end? Maybe a few hundred the way things are looking? I'm wishing I had managed to snag the Goldtop along with my Honeyburst, but I shouldn't bitch, at least I have one already. I feel for you guys on backorder, the waiting game and uncertainty would be killing me.The unofficial "official" number I heard from Sweetwater was that Gibson was going to produce 120 of EACH finish each month for six months - so, allegedly, 720 of each finish total, but who knows? If it is a smashing success, it could be an unlimited "limited" edition (it's happened before...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarman3001 Posted June 28, 2010 Members Share Posted June 28, 2010 just saw the thread. I went to the link in the original post but it doesn't show a goldtop. Do they not exist anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzztone Posted June 28, 2010 Members Share Posted June 28, 2010 Is the Nashville factory even open yet? Last I heard(2 days ago) it was still closed for repair following the flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluesguitar65 Posted June 28, 2010 Members Share Posted June 28, 2010 Is the Nashville factory even open yet? Last I heard(2 days ago) it was still closed for repair following the flood.Maybe in a desperate move, Gibson is having Fender make those Tribute Les Pauls to make the demand.

Members neilr11 Posted June 28, 2010 Members Share Posted June 28, 2010 Is the Nashville factory even open yet? Last I heard(2 days ago) it was still closed for repair following the flood. Just came back from Memphis and Nashville, the Nashville factory is still closed, got to tour the Memphis factory, they were churning out the hollow bodies.

Members fuzztone Posted June 28, 2010 Members Share Posted June 28, 2010 From the Gibson Forum "We are shooting for getting guitars out the door again last week of July. There will more than likely be some LP Studio 50's Tributes in that group of guitars. I am going to do a status update every week on the Gibson eBlast to let you know what dealers were shipped Tributes. Thanks for your patience.

Members fuzztone Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 GibsonUSAGM(General Manager for the Gibson USA division) posted this yesterday in the "Forum Feedback" section: "Hi. Here is an update from the USA Division. As of today, we plan to start shipping products around August 1, and the 50's Tribute Studios are in the production schedule for when we restart. The clean-up from the flood has been a very extensive and complex process and frankly has taken longer than we would have liked. It has just been hard to pin down an exact date because of how much clean-up we are having to do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CanIBDom Posted July 1, 2010 Members Share Posted July 1, 2010 That's the whole point. He said they were ugly as {censored}. I have to agree in their factory state. However, an additional $40 or so spent on black plastics would make it look much better--maybe even damn good. Not a bad option at all if this is the only version that hasn't sold out yet...$850 is incredible for a Gibson, but $900 is still a fantastic deal.

" Well if all they are going to sell is those limited amount of guitars and not even consider selling more, they are making a very dumb move. Their sales prove they could sell a ton. So if they decide not to, it will be yet another boneheaded move on Gibson's part! Would not surprise me in the least, however. They have been making boneheaded moves a lot lately. The dusk tiger being just one of many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
