This is great news!!

Bad news. Went in today as I was working in the area, no Firebird tees.

Damn! I may just have to make my own!

It would be a cool design to screen print.

I don't have a pic but can probably get one on Monday. They've got like 6 custom colour 58 Vs. I particularly like the heather poly.

I went in this afternoon after work. It sold this morning. Basically a British racing Green 58.
Here’s a couple that remain:

Thanks for doing that! Probably better that I didn’t see that guitar as I bet it looked amazing.🥲

I don't know if international peeps can, but I can buy it online. I'd be happy to send you one if you don't want to wait for them to get stocked there.

I just saw one of their Instagram reels that had it briefly shown. Actually a Flying V custom, so block inlays and the diamond shape Jack plate. Still very very pretty, just a different vibe to the 58s.

Hey thanks Tom! I will see if they have any the next time I am in town and if not I'll drop you a message.

I'll probably pop in if I'm in the area at some point to have a look. I'm definitely not the sort of guy to pay new Gibson money on a new Gibson but it'll be cool to see

probably silly but it'd be funny for you to drop in with your recent acquisition and "see if they'd trade this old thing for something newer".

Finally got over my fear & went to the Gibson Garage yesterday with my brother. It was… fine? It was fun seeing so many Les Pauls & they had some cool colours. But ultimately the whole experience left me feeling nothing.

When you fill a shop full of guitars that cost over £2k and the sales people are making no effort to sell them, it really kills the mystique of high-end products. Just realised I didn’t even see where the downstairs was.

Played a lefty Gibson Dove as someone half-assed asked me if I wanted to try anything just as I was checking the £5.6k price. It felt nice, and sounded rounded & well-balanced. The music was on so loud that I couldn’t hear it properly- no idea how you’d buy an acoustic on more than looks & feel in that place.

I did love the volume of expensive branded tat though. And yet, despite them having loads of stuff with the 90s logo I remember lusting after as a youngster, I left empty handed.
