Not seen any in the U.K. had a few searches with no results. Interested to see how they sound.

try peach guitars, they are expecting a few
i ordered mines from Thomann
Edit looks like Thomann sold their stock already.. 2 days all gone

on the plus side they dropped the price by £6

 

[Brek]

Gotta stop looking at peach’s website, they get some of the best looking les Paul’s in the U.K.

sorry if this sounds a bit nosey or intrusive, im just curious.

with all the Gibsons you own/owned

what is peaking your interest in this epi..

And for anyone else waiting for theirs from Sweetwater, my rep told me last night that they are expecting a batch in this week.

I hope that batch includes the replacement for mine! They should have the returned guitar tomorrow (I might have spent the weekend playing it, broken neck and all )

When I spoke to the GC rep yesterday getting my partial refund she told me there were only 10 of these left in stock nationwide. Next batch is due in around the middle of December...

 

[Zylo]

is sounding like its taking epi 2 months to make 1 batch..

is it the process of making these tops thats time consuming?

Ouchie, sounds like demand is still greatly outnumbering supply

I don't think the Honey burst photo is a 59, I think it's a photoshopped 50's Standard or something. Just a passing thought, as I'm completely satisfied with my 59 in Aged Dark Burst! It's a definite keeper!

Maybe it really is "limited edition" but seeing almost everything else hard to get makes me doubt that to an extent.

I think the same.

It is definitely strange
Like peach guitars only received a handful of guitars and Thomson sold thiers out in a day

does anyone remember when epiphine last did the 59 standard how long the production run was?

Both colors now backordered at CG and MF and all their other outlets...

In 2009 they did a 50th anniversary, and limited them to 1959 units

Just registered. Received my 59 last Thursday, I'm in Ontario Canada I ordered it from a local music Store in Pembroke.
came in on the 22nd. The arts music store in Newmarket looks like they have one of each colour in stock according to their web site

Just got $100 discount for my damaged pot and I've already repaired in myself...

Great to hear. I love that top.
