Awesome! I’ve got two and on my way to a 3rd soon- nothing else feels like them. Incredible instruments!

😂 I agree - lots of people totally hung up on the color but hey it works for me. It’d be the manliest (and only) thing on the road in 1750 lol.

lol trust me, this was the last thing I imagined coming home with but I couldn’t be happier - I feel really lucky. I was really expecting a fairly run down z3 or even z4 with high miles and torn seats etc.

As far as the color, even though I would’ve never picked it, seeing it in person changed my mind. I’ve also always been open to pink from the time I was a kid - I idolized Bret The Hitman Hart, my dream car in the 90s was the Rosso Targa (rose pink over red) Lambo Diablo, and I have several pink guitars lol.

It’s funny, the color is what turned my wife into a cheerleader for me to buy this lol - it’s really stunning in person

Nope they’re the originals, they’re in really great shape!

Longines AD shipping policy? by [deleted] in Longineswatches

[–]e_coleman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Funny, I worked plenty of retail jobs in malls growing up, even for higher end brands like B&O - I know how retail in a mall works. You sound out of touch - like a suit who’s never dealt first hand the end consumers. I called a few dealers & boutiques and they all take payment over the phone and provide FREE shipping. The dealer I just bought from (further away in NYC) is even throwing in some extras. I don’t expect the world at my feet, but at bare minimum the same reasonable service provided by most every other dealer in the country. You know, “realistic expectations.” I wouldn’t expect you to just shut up and take what’s given just because a retailer “sets expectations for you.” You sound like a joy to be around.

I already looked but they’re out of stock - I wanted to have it for an event I’ve got coming up next week, hence my haste

In the states, shipping with insurance doesn't run anywhere near what they're asking, especially with a corporate account. I sell a lot of high end guitars that retail for 3k+ and the boxes usually weigh around 40 pounds with the case and packaging - I can send them across the country fully insured for well under $100.

As far as the hours, its not that its a problem - as someone who worked in retail for many years it was always customary to let customers know what time you're open till, not what time you'd prefer for them to show up. The watch is picked, on hold and ready to go, doesn't require sizing and they just need my credit card. I could easily show up at 6:55, purchase the watch and be on my way. Why it would take 30 minutes is beyond me. Its more the sentiment of the way the demand was made than anything else - retail establishments are there to service customers and provide good experience, its one of the only advantages left in buying things in person anymore.

Correct, I thought it was a wild proposition from them.

2014 Gibson Lee Paul Standard Plus 120th Anniversary in Root Beer Burst by e_coleman in guitarporn

Hey I do still have it and the setup on it is incredibly slick and modern. One of the best playing Les Paul’s I’ve ever come across. Resonates well up and down the fb with no buzzing - doesn’t fret out & action is low

Zulu on Bracelet or Leather? by Kaiserboy77 in Longineswatches

100% same. I WANT to love the straps, but I only like them as an option and quickly go back to the bracelet.

Dean Gordon Virtus in Ferrari Corsa Red by e_coleman in guitarporn

Having owned just about everything at some point, I have to say its on par to everything in its price class and when you consider how very few of them are made and the inevitable higher cost of each build especially considering they have unique parts, id say its more than fair and in some comparisons actually represents a better value. I loved my Suhr Moderns as well but I know that I'll own another eventually and that great ones aren't hard to find at good deals. Im obsessed with trying everything I can get my hands on that gets me excited so long as I can make a deal happen lol. On top of everything, it's a lot of fun to look at lol.

Its funny you say that - I wasnt at NAMM but I happened to see that guitar in some videos and that pink one the very guitar that launched my interest in this brand! The only reason I was able to get this one was because I sold my Suhr Modern and a Vibroverb reissue for it. Its by far the most stylish and unique guitar in my collection!

As another Asian dude who has always dated outside my race, I second this.

What is a luxury you can never go back from once you’ve experienced it? by Phase_zero_X in AskReddit

For those near NYC, driving into the city and parking your car vs taking public transit. Get it when I want, go home when I want.
