How long have you waited for your LP?

[lunchbox]

Shipping for mine from MF was only 3 days.

But I waited over 20 years to finally buy one. (I had other Gibsons, but not an LP.)

I started playing guitar in 1995, but don't let that fool you I'm terrible, and I just ordered my Gibson Les Paul today.

 

[jeffy]

The last time I ordered online, I haggled the price down to cover expediting the shipping. I figure less time bouncing around in a truck, the better. Not to mention getting it sooner.

Being able to track packages is nice but also nerve wracking. When it says, "Out For Delivery" you're always the last stop n their route, it seems.

the minute I found my CC at GC Fountain Valley, I put a deposit on it and zoomed up to go get it next day, I just couldn't wait, LOL!!!

Ohh, that looks killer! White Guitars are just the sex!

I've spent the past... I don't know, probably 2 months, waiting for my Gibson Studio (my first Gibby as well, actually. =D) I had to wait about 3 or 4 weeks for the store to get it in and since then it's been boxed up with my name on it and a deposit, waiting for me to pick him up. Finally got to an agreement with my parents so I can take him home with me after work tomorrow. =D

Nice anecdotes guys, keep them up if you can

(thanks for the tip on calling them).

30 years. After purchasing the Ibanez Artist AR200 in 1980, I knew some day I will eventually get a Gibson. Then started college, work, dating, married, kids, children's college tuition, I could not wait any longer. I ended up buying a bunch in the last year.

I wish I bought them earlier. Those that are waiting for that some day....Do not wait any more. JUST DO IT.

Mine arrives on Wednesday.

I'm hoping they'll knock on my tenant's door to deliver with a signature.

I think I'll put a note on the door to that effect...

I never need to wait. Because every time when I've made a deal for a guitar buy, I ALWAYS pick the guitar up by myself. I would never buy via internet.

No, but you'd rip someone off before they ripped you off.

Your argument is invalid.

started playing in 96....just got my first, 16 years

Been playing for over 35 years and I'm still waiting!! For an LP Standard that is. I have other Gibson LP's (Special, Studio etc, even have/had a couple of SG's) but still don't have a Standard. One day!

I waited about 18 hours! Weird as that sounds, I think you'll understand the story behind it:-

I was in the studio back in 2009 with the band recording 4 demo tracks to give out to pubs, to aid getting gigs. I've always been a Fender man so took my trusty Strat and recent purchase Tele. When it came to recording our last number, Gary Moore - Oh Pretty Woman, the chap in the studio handed me a R7 saying "Hey Scott, try this!" I was completely sold, so the next morning I went to my local Gibson dealer and came home with my first Gibson, a new BFG Gary Moore. That was that and I moved to a Standard last year!

 

[SnowWhite]

That's what I call a man who knows what he wants and takes it right away. Why not settle with the BFG ? Everybody wants a Standard or a Custom, right?
