| Hi all.
I'm sick of trawling through Google looking for online guitar shops that sell Gibson guitars, so I thought I'd ask here. If anyone has a favourite shop, please list it. I'm looking at some stage of getting a Gibson Firebird VII.
Thanks everyone.

| I'm also looking for a Jet (Silver-, Duo-, whatever), preferably one with a Bigsby and DynaSonics. I had the worst experience of my life (guitar-wise, that is) last year during a flight to Germany for a gig. The airline somehow managed to send my 6120 to the wrong airport/country. When I finally got it, the neck was broken in two places; by the headstock and by the heel. I did the gig with a borrowed 6119 (and a broken heart ), so I thought I'd try to find a Gretsch solidbody for "flying gigs". If I put the guitar in a gig bag, they'll have to let me bring it on board as a carry on luggage. If it's a smaller one (than the hollowbodys), that is... Dave's Guitar had a gold Sparkle Jet for $ 1250,- a while ago, but by the time I'd raised the cash, it was gone So if anybody has any suggestions, please PM me. Thanks! Anders | |

| I too can vouch for Warpdrive. I purchased an '04 Purple Hot Rod there. Very good pricing, quality merchandise, and, they know how to ship guitars.
