Epiphone '59 Les Paul Coming

[WorstBandNameEver]

Can someone provide the link please.

I still have the page open so I took screenshots for folks who didn't see it before it was taken down. So far, that's the most detailed spec list, I think. The item number is EPI ENL59 ASFNH3 is anyone wanted to try to call into them on it.

I got my order in before the link was taken down...it was accepted and everything.

Hopefully everyone that ordered these other finishes did so over the phone with a nice discount. You can get these 59's all day long for under $700 shipped. There is no reason to ever pay retail on gear. Especially on China made gear.

I didn't look when it was still up but looking at your screenshots now, that looks like the most accurate spec list I've seen so far besides not mentioning the long neck tenon, switch craft output jack, or specifying which BurstBuckers

Looks like a lovely guitar. Nice score.

Can I get a copy of your order confirmation (just need the dollar amounts) for a little bit of salesmen black mailing. I mean price matching.

update...I just got off the phone with American Musical Supply...this link was not removed because of Gibson instruction...it was removed because they were only allotted a certain number of orders for it. Once they got all those orders, the link was taken down. I got in just under the wire. This special run of guitars is supposed to arrive to American Musical Supply warehouse in December. At that point, all their orders they received for this exclusive run will be shipped out.

I'm honestly amazed they sold that fast. Must've been a small allotment. I'm sure a few other retailers will have them too but might not post it until the "official launch"

I hope so, it’s a killer color...other people should have a shot at getting it. Unless and until, I’m counting myself lucky for being in the right place at the right time!

This is the deal I got from Sweetwater, but I got them to commit to it a while back. I heard others had less success later on, for now at least.

Thank you man! That's $140 less than what my total was. I'll probably feel like a dick asking for a discount on a guitar in such high demand but this whole waiting thing and mystery specs have been killing me

I tried calling back AMS...since the orders were fulfilled, the CSR was unable to do any changing of price. Anyone who cancels simply cancels and that's one less guitar they will be ordering.

No shit! I was going to study on that one a while, figured there was no rush. Didn’t even last the afternoon!

How do you guys haggle like that? I suck at haggling it's like I'm too shy. Do you have some tips?

Depending on what it is I've been aiming for 10-15% off now. If its under $500 I ask for 10% off. If it's over $500 I ask 15% off. Got a Fender Rumble amp 10% off at Sweetwater two weeks ago, just had to ask my sales rep.

Mine was an email to my SW rep that said, "Thanks again for your help on the phone. I was reading on the Epiphone forum that a Sweetwater Sales rep offered a discount off the $799 for someone on the preorder list. Is that a thing? I figured it is always better to ask than not." At that point, he said he was happy to help and said $696 before tax. But there wasn't nearly as much demand as I order right after these were spoiled.

Worst thing they can say is no or try to meet you in the middle on a price you'll both be happy with. I'm aiming to get an Aerodyne bass for under $700 next lol

When I’m purchasing from a retailer, it rarely occurs to me to simply ask for a discount. I guess it works much of the time.
