What Dave said!

[Granny Gremlin]

OK, OK; tragedy averted.  You guys really do care 

[Basvarken]

Any of you fellow Outposters have the new Embassy yet? The first reviews are starting to pop up over at Talkbass.

Selling a Victory is like selling a Peavey T-40, you just don't. Heavy but indestructible and a hidden classic.

[Granny Gremlin]

Look, I had a moment of weakness considering it.  Don't worry, it has passed.

here's another one I'ma never live down.

[uwe]

You heinous potential Victory alienator!

[patman]

Has anyone purchased the Embassy yet?

[bassilisk]

The Embassy's are showing up over at TB to rave reviews. Minor things i.e. loose pots easily corrected but overall fit and finish appear to be tip-top and the pickups are all the rage.

[Stjofön Big]

Anyone knows where to get the knobs for the new Embassy? The look just like the vintage ones, and I want to get a set of them.

So far, they seem to be impossible to get.  I bought a Wilshire reissue guitar just for the knobs.  I put reflector knobs on it and resold it for just a hair more than I paid, so I guess I did OK.

[Thornton Davis]

Got a call late this afternoon saying that my Ebony Thunderbird Vintage Pro has arrived and is ready to be picked up. I was shocked, I figured it was another 1-2 months away from arriving.

Going to go and get it on Sunday.

[Granny Gremlin]

Whoa, deja vu, dude (I had no idea you were in both places).

[Chris P.]

I e-mailed the Dutch Gibson guys but no Tbird and Embassy here yet.

[westen44]

As of this moment, zZounds appears to have the dark cherry Embassy in stock. 

[the mojo hobo]

Sweetwater has them in all colors.
