Dave... You coming out of the closet...?

Nice one...

I get suprised about what "turns me on" about an instrument... like when I first saw my T'bird... but that recent shot of that Hamer 8 string green V has kinda turned me on my head, a bit like Bret/Uwe/Scott/Chris with Explorer, or style, instruments, when it goes "against the grain" ...

Oh for some spare cash in the bank...

Back to the shed in the morning - now have power and lighting - screeded the floor (awful - not my forte) and hopefully laying the lino tomorrow
(today!) ...

Mine is ordered  :) And also one for the guitarist in my original band who is a bit of a Gibson nut.  Thanks for the heads up Dave  :thumbsup:

Aus$305. Shipping will probably be another Aus$100. 

Now if I can just get Roman at BaCH to respond to my emails I will be a very happy boy.

Forgot to mention that the discounted street price of exactly the same guitar here in Oz is a princely Aus$999 (US$812)

I'm glad you were able to order from the US at the special price, I know some US guitarmakers have franchise restrictions against their US retailers shipping directly overseas.

Well my MM is in Melbourne and the Customs and Excise people what proof of how much (or little) I paid for it before they will let it go.  >:(

/insert your worst Aussie accent:  Customs guy: But its a Gibson! There is no such thing as a Gibson for less than $1000 dollars".

I have emailed them a copy of my Visa card statement. Should be enough I hope.

Na... use a "Daggy-Boy" voice...  ;D

Give them the web-site address, which should be reasonable proof, Bret...

No, it was a call-in special only, never appeared on the website. Credit card statement or invoice ought to work.
