It's a fine guitar, I'm sure, but who's going to pay £7,495 for it?  

Especially with the £900(?) Chinese version on the way at some point, with most of the features including the pickups (shame it won't be korina though)

I agree - take 6k off it and they might sell it ;)

Blimey - even I'd make one for £7k - I might even include an Iceman too so you have a matching pair
Actually - that would be a nice touch I think!

Now that should put the final nail in the coffin for anybody thinking of buying that Fireman...  :lol: Would be sub zero cool if presented in a dual guitar bag!

The production model is the one to go for. That Korina is way overpriced even if you like that sort of thing.

I don't think (hope) that any of us are thinking of it!

My mate does all the GuitarGuitar online orders stuff for Glasgow, they're really reliable, they don't have a centralised online set up so I'm not sure if all their shops are as bang on.

In most cases, the website will be accurate for the previous day, I think.

i think i've ordered from just about everyone else, but i don't think i've ordered from gg or g4m :lol:

And wow at the price of that fireman. :lol: Ibanez prices have gone a bit crazy recently, but even with that, that fireman looks ridiculous.

Guitarguitar are pretty good guys. When an amp I bought from them got lost in transit they helped out with getting a replacement out. Both amps turned up oddly (courier was probably late and lied about it to give themselves more time) and they arrange collection for one of the amps.

and the fireman doesn't have mammoth ivory inlays  :D

I find it utterly unacceptable to kill a mammoth just for guitar inlays.

It's getting all a bit silly with these prices. I reckon they have the hardware polished for days by some Swiss watchproducers, the plate must be from made some very rare shell near Madagascar and the korina body must have been chopped, carved and sanded by Paul himself, he even might bit his name in it. The dentistbill is included in the pricetag. But with 4 quid discount it gets interesting though...

Well, they came through with my order, arrived this morning.  Very impressed!  :D

And to be fair, I think online music shops in general have improved enormously in the last few years.  Most of them are pretty slick operations nowadays.
