well if u are complaining about the cost of the dow single, u can always go to ebay and pay up to $100 per cd, how upset will those idiots that paid that amount be when they see the new retail? dig if u will THAT picture...

ha, hearing that Days Of Wild Single, if it was given free.. it wouldnt be worth the space and dust it would collect

What kinda dust we talking here? - gold dust??

Still no response from gage marketing aboout my guitar order!!!

Hey NPG2000 (Chris)

It looks like things were a bit odd to start with on the retail section. Everything that appeared first in the non-members section, has now moved to members and is not sold out. Pictures have now been added for most items. I wonder if someone made a mistake at NPGMC and some of that stuff was not meant for non-members. Anyhoo I have sent e-mail queries before and it took them a couple of days to answer. Hopefully they will let you know.

In my reckoning U should get a guitar for $1000, it will be a bonus if it is a set neck (ie they put the wrong price up to start with). If they confirm that it was one of the last bolt-on necks then I think they will only change your order if you pay an extra $500. Was it the set neck you wanted?

I would prefer a set neck, but would be happy enough with the bolt neck. I am not going to play it, I just want to hang it above my staircase like a piece of art...I am concerned that If they don't hurry up they will sell all the $1500 ones aswell, leaving me with nothing...I can't order one of those, and cancel the first one because I can't be sure I won't end up with 2 and skint!

Just wish they would let me know what's hapenning...I hope they originally had both, but failed to put the $1500 price tag up for the set necks, now they have sold all the bolt necks (1 to me hopefully) and are left with the set necks..

...they have already taken the $1000 from my credit card, so surely they must have something for me??

Yesterday I purchased DOW from the site, but all of a sudden, today, the tour book of ONA was back in stock. I want it but don´t feel like paying shipping costs twice. Damn!!! Maybe next time...

Prince if you read this can you get this sorted for me...or even just send me one of your used guitars...that'll do!

NPG2000 said:

Work a try eh Jasper...

That should read worth...

NPG2000 said:

Definatly worth a try. While your at it why not ask for some other used stuff...demo´s...Mayte...houses...cars.

NPG2000 said:

I got the bolted neck guitar for the $1000 when they had them available several months ago. THe $1500 was the price for the solid neck.

..the bolt neck should be fine, it's only gonna be hung on the wall anyway, so no-one is likely to see behind it.

But Prince if you send me one of your used ones, I promise to show off both sides to visitors

If you selected FedEx shipping it may come faster. If you are not in the US, you just have to wait for shipping.

I'm in the UK, I selected the most expensive shipping at $35. If I look in UR ACCOUNT on RETAIL. It shows as "9/27/02 in progress", so maybe it's already shipped but they just have not added this to the site??

Just got a reply, which has really confused me now??

Dear Chris,

The only neck version currently available is the set neck.

Peace, Lori

NPG2000 said:

Sound clear to me. You will get the set neck!!!

I'm not convinced...she may be saying there are only set necks so you will have to wait ages until a bolt neck comes in??

I'd really like to have this Cloud guitar, I'd even play it!

...but that's too much for me poor student.

NPG2000 said:

No I feel sure you will get the set neck for $1000! You lucky ducky!

Will this version of DOW be minus all of the vulgur language of the first versions? : )

Excellent news, It has been confirmed that I will get the set-neck after all...

NPG2000 said:

I'm just curious what u had 2 pay 4 shipping this guitar...well??

There were 2 choices, either $15 or $35 (this is to the UK)
I thought $15 was way to little to pay, as I want it looked after. So opted for the $35 route.

Hows did you get confirmation that it was set neck? I bought one also and see that it shipped yesterday on my account page but i was just curious as to how you confirmed it was set neck.
I bought the blue bolt on version back in october and when it came in it was busted - wood split from one of the bolts up the neck. After several months of being told i would get a replacement NPG refunded my money and said they did not know when or IF they would get anymore. So I am at the very least excited to have one on the way - even if it is white.

Lori from Gage has confirmed that they only have set necks this time, and mine would be a set neck. If yours shipped yesterday, I would say it is definately a set neck...so probably worth the wait...When I ordered there was no mention of the blue one, but white will do.

Did you get to keep the broken one?? You could try to fix it and sell it on cheap?

NPG2000 said:

Lori was who I dealt with over the whole broken guitar fiasco. When I ordered the other day there was no mention of blue either. I dont think the blue ones came back up until they reposted them with the correct price.

I didn't keep the broken one - for two reasons - they assured me I would get a replacement when I sent it back - Of course as you could tell from my previous post I did not - and I just couldn't justify shelling out $1000 bucks for a broken guitar.
