Fell victim to the GAS - again!

In my defence, I DID cancel my order for the Gary Moore BFG (Gibson wouldn't give the dealer a delivery date anyway).

Anyway, Thomann actually had a Slash AFD LP in stock. It's a limited run of 600 and all the UK stockists sold out almost straight away. My thinking was that a matching pair of the guitar and the AFD100 head could be worth a bob or two. Problem is that, now it's arrived, it's the best playing Les Paul that I've EVER tried - I can't put it down. Looks gorgeous too! I'm one happy bunny!
If you find a cure for GAS let me know!!!!!

Very nice indeed and it should match your new AFD100 head when it arrives.

Welshman-fgn

My thinking exactly ;D

Looking at the AFD100 site, I shouldn't have too long to wait 8)

What a shame that Gibson aren't as free with the information as to when the 2010 standard is going to be shipped - there's not too long of 2010 left ::)
Still, I have my new best friend to keep me company 8)

Are you still waiting for a 2010 Limited edition ?
Any longer they'll have to change the name to 2011.

Cheers to ya & nice pickup !!  ;D   
Q... What kind of advice can you give me ?   Tommy Emmanuel's reply ....

You move your hand Up and Down that long bit and the music comes out of that Big Black Box behind you !!

Welshman-fgn

Hi Elboy,
yes, it's a gorgeous guitar, I'm over the moon with it ;D

The pickups are Seymour Duncan Slash signature ones and they sound wonderful - this guitar sounds every bit as good as it looks!

Only problem now is that, as you may have seen on my other thread, the AFD100 head (and the AV and BV cabs to go with it) are currently lost in transit!

I'm NOT a happy bunny! >:(

just read the review on the amp and cabs and they sound very nice, fingers crossed for you that they turn up soon mate.
