This is what I'm using ...




Epiphone Dot Deluxe VS Limited Edition. Many years ago when I first started playing around with guitar I had a little solid body Ibanez ... I like this one better.

Right now, I'm waiting to see if a proposal is accepted. If it is, I'm going to use some of the money to have Carvin build me a CS624 with a top similar to this:



I'm going for the Gibson-style headstock and no inlays, though.

Wow that is beautiful. I'm actually very tempted, shipping to here is probably a lot though.
And my wife would kill me.
Unless I got to her first. Hmmm...

Thanks RCole, this is one of the guitars that I just had to have. I wanted 4 specific guitars in particular (Tele, Strat, Les Paul and Explorer) for sure and now I guess I just have to upgrade from the crappy Squire Strat to a USA model. (not that all Squires are crappy but I think this one is)

Ok, 5 guitars... It would be nice to get a hollowbody Gretsh instead of only having solidbodies.

Ok, I don't think I'd be happy unless I had 6 guitars. A Line 6 James Tyler Variax would be amazing.

LOL! It never stops.

Outside the U.S., you'd have to go through a dealer. I've also heard that the prices are rather higher (the configuration in the picture runs about $2200 in the U.S., not sure what it would be for you.)

Yeah, I bought my Gibson in France, and even if the price is "the same" you get killed with the VAT and currency difference.

Ahh... these are beautiful. This is of the few Les Paul models that make me wish I had enough to buy one now =P

It is indeed, shipping and Import duty on stuff from the States is quite punitive these days.

Luckily I have various friends in the States who could order it and bring it to me whenever they're next coming over should I decide to order one.
Perhap SteelString will post up a review if and when he gets it. Owners rarely hate their new purchases though

Since yesterday I've done some basic research on Carvin and they do seem to be an under-rated manufacturer. Why is that, it's not like they're a startup?

I'm GASing for an Epiphone Thunderbird Pro-IV Vintage Sunburst Four String Bass Guitar and hardshell case.

Sexy, I'd take it in a heartbeat.
