Yes, top of the line. My price came in $600 under the original list price.
These come with a nice hard shell case and USA TV Jones DA-Tron pickups.
And it’s pink. I was going to buy a pink stunt guitar, but this is even better.

The other thing that is different about the lefties is they come with a Bigsby. The righties have the D’Angelico Shied Tremolo.

So, can you do a video of you playing Smoke On The Water with this guitar?

So, can you do a video of you playing Smoke On The Water with this guitar? I didn't even realize it's pink. I'm partially colorblind so I have an excuse. But a video would be really cool, Leftee!

Well... shipment is delayed. No delivery date available at this time. It’s coming from Hudson, NY. I’m guessing weather.

It came.
It needs a setup, but it sounds very nice indeed.
Unfortunately they didn’t unscrew the switch tip before shipping it, so the broke off at the switch lever. The switch will have to be replaced.
I’ve started a claim for a full return/refund. If they pay me enough to do the work, I’ll keep it and fix it myself.
I’m a little annoyed. Who *doesn’t* unscrew the switch tip when shipping guitars like this?

Bummer on the switch, hope it works out in your favor if you want to keep it!
Mine had a few flaws. Nothing that I would send back b/c it was a great price imho! I know some folks that can fix the problems better than I can!
Win Win

Still waiting to hear back from reverb. It’ll be Monday, now.
I’ll play it more this weekend. 😊

Or even removed, for that matter, that I can recall anyway. I'm 'usually' shipping in a HSC though. Sorry you're having to send it back!

It came in a HSC.
Gibsons ship with the tips removed. At least the ones I’ve received. I usually do that, too.

Reverb settled the claim with me for $125. That works for me. I have a switch.

Or even removed, for that matter, that I can recall anyway. I'm 'usually' shipping in a HSC though. Sorry you're having to send it back! Most guitars I've seen shipped without cases have the pieces of foam with a hole in it to guard the switch tip. Those seem pretty effective.
Also keep in mind that if you remove tips, you're bound to get a certain number of people calling complaining that there was no tip or that they can't figure out how to get it on. I know, seems silly, but it will happen. If you're dealing with a custom shop level instrument you get that luxury. In the sub $1k world, not so much.

True. But this was not a sub-$1k guitar and did ship in a case. Just that extra clearance afforded by removing the switch tip would have made all the difference.
