So, how much did that end up setting you back, if you don't mind me asking? Do they really have a maple cap on them now? 640.00. To make up for the wechter cluster{censored} they were willing to price match a GC 20% coupon I had so I decided to order from them instead of GC because their guitar gallery let me pick out the specific one I liked the best. So far I haven't received any kind of shipping confirmation though. I even emailed the rep I talked to and never got a reply. I emailed him Saturday...still nothing. I called in yesterday and they told me it was shipping yesterday but still no shipping confirmation email like the rep told me I'd get. And no reply to the email I sent him on Saturday. I don't expect to be catered to hand and foot but so far I'm slightly underwhelmed with their after-sale follow up. A bunch of people here are always complaining about sweetwater constantly calling them after the sale but they haven't called me once or returned my emails. (btw, MF and M123 and WWBW always automatically send me a shipping confirmation email with tracking info.) I don't know....I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe the rep is out sick or went on vacation this week but still, he said I'd get a shipping confirmation notification. I suppose I may have misheard or misunderstood and maybe they don't sent out automatic shipping confirmations. Right now I'm firmly undecided about my opinion of sweetwater. Oh, as for the maple cap, if I'm not mistaken it's a mahogany body and cap. Pickups are burstbucker pros. The ones with the maple caps are the finished ones. The worn cherry and brown are mahogany. At least from what I could tell by the info on gibson's site which isn't always very clear.

i got mine from music 123. i do alot of business with a good rep so he hooked me up. its not here yet its mid january, but i got 20% off. that will be the second LP in my lineup. Awesome. I got sweetwater to match a GC 20% coupon I had after they screwed the pooch with my wechter acoustic order. Mine will also be my 2nd LP but my first gibson. First one is an epi LP custom.

this wasnt guitar center either, but i picked up a new satin black les paul studio for $640. Sweet! Where? I didn't see any online places that had the satin black ones in stock. I debated between the satin black and faded cherry. Hard decision to make but I already have a black LP so I went with the cherry. I got mine from sweetwater.

If you make 2 in shop I"ll make you pickups for yours in exchange for the second one. goddamit I brought it up first!!!!! I should get dibs!!!!!!!!! :poke::poke::poke: :mad::cop:

I got the ultimate deal. 17.59 for enough ash to make a Telecaster. I have to take my camera to school tomorrow and photograph the process. You should have told me in advance! I would have given you an extra 17.59 so you could make me one too!!!!!! Hell, I might have even been inspired enough and given you the 17.59 for yours too!!

not from GC. I refused to set foot in there this weekend. But....I did get a kicksass deal on this from sweetwater.

Depends...not sure what would qualify as a "good" guitar. Take a look at the guitars listed in my sig and tell me if any of those qualify and I'll tell you when I got it. That said, I do have a Takamine santa fe nylon string acoustic that I paid 1200.00 for. It's my most expensive guitar and definitely qualifies as a "real" or "good" guitar. I've had it about 15 years.

Yeah, I'd like to know where they can be found for 225.00 also!!!!!

been wanting one of these for a while now. I want the complete mini full stack

I'm sure the cow is feeling the pain, but I seriously doubt he's thinking, "damn that hurts, I wish he would stop". no, the cow isn't thinking that in the words you put it because the cow doesn't speak English. I'm sure in its own thoughts though, that's exactly what it's thinking.

Originally posted by favata5 Well I guess I gotta explain,First off I love this country more than I love myself,I served in the Military proudly back in the 80s to me the flag means alot and it needs to be respected! You may burn the flag only when its ragged and not permitted to fly,not because you feel its your right to do so. Secondy,I dont hate homosexuals,I dont believe in what they do.but I cant hate them for what they are! I just dont think our children should have thier ways jammed down their throats that its ok and normal to have a mommy and a mommy or a daddy and a daddy!! thats not normal! Thirdly,theres lots of folks like me in this world,we love our country and will fight to protect it,and if people are afraid to step up and be willing to sacrifice then they have to leave this great country!Thats all there is to it and lastly I know its so tiring to talk about Patriotic stuff,lol you know back when we were hit by the scumbag terrorists 5 years back lots of people were flying that flag so high and proud! What happened?? hardly ever see a flag now except at my house and the post office>> hmmm makes me wonder! this is all im saying about this subject so take it away and think what you want,just remember if you think you have the right to burn the flag then I have a right to say whay I feel!! Again, the flag stands for freedom of speech and expression. If you're against that, then you do not stand for the same values the flag represents. You are not a true patriot. As for the gay thing, who in the world is pushing a gay lifestyle on you? They simply want the same rights as everyone else. Why would you deny them that?

Originally posted by Romanian Reaper Flag burning bothers me because I am in the military and love that thing. Everything I stand for is in that flag and the history it represents. if you're against burning the flag in protest, you obviously don't stand for freedom of speech. You're a hypocrite. You claim to stand for what the flag represents but in reality you don't. Freedom of speech means even speech you may find offensive, not just the speech you agree with. Originally posted by Romanian Reaper If I walked down the street yelling "Sex with children should be ok", I would be arrested, guaranteed. no, you wouldn't.

Originally posted by favata5 Could someone please explain to me why legislation couldnt get passed to ban flag burning but its ok in some states for Homosexuals to be married and in most schools children cant say God?? What the hell has happened?? Makes me wish I could turn the clocks back to the ol fashioned times..you know when God mattered,and men worked while the women stayed home and took care of the domestic jazz,and children had a monny and a daddy! Today its just getting twisted it used to be Adam and Eve in the Bible,,whats next Adam and Steve???? if flag burning is made illegal, the flag would be rendered meaningless. The flag would no longer stand for things such as freedom of speech and we would move even closer to a fascist state. Why would you want the flag to be meaningless? Why do you hate America so much that you want our flag to stand for nothing? As for gay marriage, if you're against it, then simply dont' marry a gay person. If your issue is with the sanctity of marriage, I suggest you lobby for legislation making divorce illegal. How can there be any such thing as sanctity of marriage when the divorce rate is higher than 50% and for some people marriage is nothing more than a hobby? Want to preserve the sanctity of marriage? Ban divorce.

Originally posted by Dropped_2_C the crazy train solo is what any 14 or 15 year old kid can play it is beyond easy, i love randy don't get me wrong, but crazy train is not a hard even for a middle school kid or early high schooler a couple of the short lead fills aren't all that easy. And that last run at the very end of the main solo ain't all that easy either. Or maybe it's just that I suck.
