[/quote] Those cracks put me right off. I bought one of these a few years ago, in goldfish orange. Sadly when it arrived the body had snapped clean in half. 😣

Proud new owner of Tony's Boss LS2. I have no idea how to use it yet. Anyway, great chap to deal with, no probs whatsoever. Cheers!

So, so tempted to order one...

[quote name='goingdownslow' timestamp='1500912191' post='3341034'] On checking the dealer network my local outlet is Dawsons. An enquiry to Dawsons returned this... I remember back when I was trying to get an Epi Elitist EB3 and a lot of dealers had never heard of them. I found the UK distibutor at the time were Rossetti and a call to them said they only got 4 and were getting no more. The dealers who they sent them to had sold them but I ended up managing to get one from Music 123 in the USA. Does anyone know who is the Epiphone/Gibson UK distributor. Does anyone know of any dealers hoping to get any in. Also my experience of getting a shop to order one has usually been at full retail price. I know it is early days yet. [/quote] That's a bit worrying... Hopefully they will be a bit more common than the Elitists - I think they are replacing the current Thunderbird Pro, and they're everywhere ☺

BC Rich Wave. And a fantastic bargain! If only it wasn't so far away...

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1500287417' post='3336639'] I'm guessing/hoping it'll be around the 500 mark. They say it replaces the classic pro iv, and that goes for under 400, so it could be under 500. [/quote] That would please me.

I wonder what the price will be....
