the waiting game...ugh

[C Squared]

...possible new CC in Antique Natural on the way, waiting to see if I get approved for the payment plan. In truth my credit, well, SUCKS. I got royally screwed in divorce followed shortly thereafter with Bankruptcy. Been steadily working now for over a year on the books and been 3 since the bankruptcy....

Nervous as hell right now as:
a) first time I've applied for any sort of credit in a while
b) I HATE the idea of buying a guitar online sight unseen and unplayed

The significant other has been listening to me bitch about wanting one of these since I saw pics. Today was the last day to get in on the 12 month payment plan so she's been telling me all day just to try and see what happens. probably won't know anything till Monday, maybe tomorrow....

Anxiety is killing me right now, going to crash, hoping to share some good news and a LOT of pics soon

I've been waiting for my Classic Custom and a Midtown Custom since January 16th. The CC arrived Friday. I could have picked it up then, but there's a big Gibson todo Monday and they are giving away free stuff that day, so they told me if I wait until Monday to pick it up I can get free stuff also.

So here I sit waiting...

I even have a pic of my baby

 

[C Squared]

That looks killer man. Got to be pulling your hair out, but then what's a few more days right?!?!

I've never been a huge fan of ebony on a LP, but something about ebony and all that binding makes it just stand out as something special. Hope the day goes by quick for you tomorrow man. Guessing more pics on monday after its arrival?

Hope to hear good news from you soon. I know how waiting sucks. I paid the extra $ to have my standard shipped overnite. It still took three days to arrive. Not to mention the MONTHS of sleepless nights while I was saving for it. Hang in there. It's gonna happen for you.

the antique cc is on my list too-- good luck!

Good luck! I feel your pain. I had to file about 14 months ago and it sucks rebuilding you life. Things are good now in my world. Got a degree, new career and no more construction for me!

Again, good luck!

 

[GERRYGTR62]

Hang in there, bro'---hopefully the wait will be worth it, you're gonna love the CC!

 

[RxGrey]

Good luck to you brother. I tried financing several times through MF and never went through. I assume its because I am younger with limited credit but I wish all the best for you. In the meantime I have just been squirreling cash away and I am starting to see the finish line. If i get a couple deals to fall through I will be on the preorder list for the next shipments of Antique natural CC or cream.

Congrats man. Awesome to hear

Waiting stinks...but think of the end results. A brand new CC in Antique Natural. Can't wait to see the pics tomorrow.

ive never heard of a "classic" custom, or a midtown custom. what makes these different?
i have a 68RI in antique natural, a 2007. is this similar?

OP - Good luck to you!

There is a classic custom pictured above in ebony. It's similar to the regular custom LP in appearance except there is no back binding, it has a maple fretboard with 60's neck, and 57 classic pups.

Gibson.com: Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom

MidTown Custom:
Gibson.com: Gibson Midtown Custom

well checked online today and it says it's been shipped, but no tracking info yet so I'm not sure if I'm waiting ONE day or waiting 8 days

either way I'm just praying to God she's a keeper. I HATE buying a guitar like this sight unseen and unplayed since I am such an anal prick about neck shape and tone, but looks like my credit has improved enough to join the Classic Custom Club

 

[Bountyhunter]

Congrats! I hope you love it. Most here do love them. I know I'd like to have one. Or two.

Went through ZZounds for this one. 12 month payment plan, and if it shipps from the NJ warehouse I should have it tomorrow, Nevada warehouse will be at least a week

I have a Gold Top ordered at Sweetwater but now theyre saying it could be the end of May, so earlier today, I tried my luck with the 12 payments at zzounds too.I got them down to $1697. Its been over a year since I filed, so I figure its 50/50. If not, Ill get it from Sweetwater next month and pay cash. Either way I gotta have that GT.

Again, congrats!!

GT on the way!
