some new kits

[Sonic Mountain]

2 main problems. The LP shape is Gibson’s litigious focus, why they haven’t gone after the other shapes is something only they know. Secondly, it’s all very well to say, “just change the shape”, but the factories are not exactly modern or cutting edge and explaining changes via the language barrier has proved difficult in the past. I’ve had some direct experience providing design for manufacturing and learnt that there is no computer cutting or modelling used. Any deviations need to be carefully planned out via technical drawings for them to follow. After the previous back and forth I can see why Adam might be reluctant to pursue that option.

They look pretty nice. I'll be interested to see how people go with the transition from the veneer to the body wood.

Hey Sonic, we've had this on the AG-1F (SG-1F) for years and it's one of our biggest sellers. Fun fact, the most recent shipment of AG-1F kits, the factory forgot the flame veneer... so we have extra AG-1 kits.

Lp/ ec shapes when? :^)

What Sonic Mountain said, it's just safer not to sell something that is arguably protected by a Trademark. We can't afford to argue.

Plenty of other sellers offering LP kits... not as awesome as PBG, but we won't be too angry if you shop elsewhere.

...and while we're badgering Adam about the return of old kits, do we have an ETA on the PBG-2?

Still keen on this Andy, but I'm not confident, with the language barrier, the factory completely understands what it is we want... a PBG-2 shape with the profile (carved), neck and hardware of an LP kit.

How about a bog standard PBG-2?

Available by Custom Order at any time.

Honestly Andy, they just don't sell in enough quantity to take up space in our warehouse.

We have limited space, and budget, so we have to prioritise the kits that sell regularly.

Clearly you and I are fans of the PBG-2, but, if we held a PBG-2 fan club meet-up, we might be left talking to each other for the night. Hope you got some good stories mate.

I'd be there too, but I already have one.

And me! I haven't started mine yet, but can meet up for a chat as long as someone chips in for the fare...
