Blue. I like PB anyway, but it's prob a limited colour and will be harder to pick up if you really wanted one, whereas they're standard in gold so would be easier to get your hands on if you wanted one down the line.

My size 12 feet mean I wear trainers instead of boots when playing just so I don't stamp the wrong pedal on 😊

The Easter bunny is normally fairly quiet this time of year too so I'm sure he could hop into action for you......

Amazing, I'll keep me eyes peeled 😊

Will that email go out to everyone on the forum, or do we have to let you know we're keen? Colour me interested if we need to let you know 😊

Mine has that same wobble so I'd be keen to know how you fix it. I was just going to wrap some thread seal tape around it, but I'd imagine thats the way to bodge it!!

Jeeze, hurry up!!!! 😂 Looking forward to seeing them on it, reckon they'll be a great addition.

Would anyone get offended if their band mates said it to their guitarist? The people working for any music shop are likely in a band and will take the mick out of each other so I think the spirit of it is very much in jest

I think that shade of Pelham blue is called gorgeous.....? What's the verdict with the knobs, are you going to change them over for a pair of amber top hats? I reckon it'd be a nice contrast and really want to put them on a daphne blue bitsa I'll get around to finishing (starting) one day 😂

I really want to see one in person to see if it's as nice as the pics. A mate saw one and he wasn't overly impressed, but Wunjo have a vid of a strat on their FB feed and it does look nice..... https://fb.watch/2gtzH3-Rx5/ Not sure if it's £1700 nice though. I wonder how close a luthier/spray shop could get it if you bought a 2nd hand P/J and asked them to respray it?

The entire Phil Spector album with the Crystals/Ronettes etc gets played a lot in my house this time of year, but Marshmallow World is my top pick... And I really love this by Jeff Hershey & The Heartbeats too.....

Ahh, good spot - I hadn't seen that on the Thomann site, so it looks like it'd be a more drab PB. Good news for my bank account 😂

True, I guess the only way we can really tell is if someone goes and buys one! Who will buckle first?!? The levels in the more turquoisey looking pic are all wrong though, so I'm guessing the thomann pic is likely the truer reflection. Hopefully it'll be a bit of a deeper shade in real life though.

Looks like someone over on TB has beaten Epiphone to it and had theirs resprayed PB. The good news is the shade in the pic is a lot more accurate to what PB looks like in the flesh. The bad news is that it's gorgeous and may lead to some holes in wallets!

Gorgeous and nice to hear that the one that got away ended up coming back!

This is why my bank account hates this forum...... The 'narrower 45mm nut' is the reason I'm not getting it. Far too chunky for me. ..... My bank account loves a typo.

Maybe it's all a ploy and I want someone to buy it, I can then pick it up a bit cheaper when they decide to sell it on here 😂 I'm really digging that blue and tort combo though......

You're not helping!!

Can somebody buy this please, just so I stop looking at it... https://guitarvillage.co.uk/products/music-man-sterling-stingray-classic-ray25ca-toluca-lake-blue-ex-demo-rrp-629

That Pelham Blue one is gorgeous, one of my fave Gibson colours

I wouldn't have thought retailers would be taking part in Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales unless it made them a profit. Q4 is naturally busy for them with all of the holidays, but this weekend is def one of the busiest in the year for them - with lockdowns and the general publics feeling of unease about visiting busy shopping centres/districts then this year even more so. I guess you can bucket the sales into something like people that will buy the product anyway and are just looking for a discount; people that are on the fence and the discount pushes them over the line and then people that didn't really start the day wanting the product and just saw a good 'deal'. I would have thought the second 2 categories more than make up for the buyers who would have bought anyway. Plus, there's other costs associated to the seller that you can think about. These sales help to clear stock, so they have less warehouse space to pay for when next years lines are released and stock bought in. When that new years stock is bought in they'd probably see the old lines not selling, so would have to offer a discount anyway, and that discount would likely be more than the BF sale.

I think over the course of the year I'd end up in the red by quite a margin if it became a regular occurrence. I'm sure my inability to read an eBay listing was a lucky fluke!! 😂

Turns out I am a clairvoyant drunk! At £310 that's a steal. Thought it may go a bit cheap with a combo of innacurate title, condition, end time and no delivery. I don't suppose anyone here picked it up?

I might revisit the thread after a few cocktails next Friday. Who knows - it's taken a few knocks so maybe it will go cheap and I'll turn out to be a clairvoyant drunk!!
