There's always a way around it - transshipment from one of us. Strings might make it to you that way. A '64 'Bird might not.

EB products are actually inexpensive locally. It is not worth buying them on line; when you factor in shipping, I would have to buy tens of sets to make it break even. But, it is worth buying most strings from Jason @SLaPiNFuNK
 
Oh, there goes the rumor! No, I seriously doubt that Gibson would do anything of the sort. It was an article about things like lipstick color, handbags, and women's shoes. Come to think of it, that's not so far off around here, but nothing to do with anything Gibson might offer.

If you want a Burgundy Mist 'Bird, I plan to post photos as soon as it's back in my hands and reassembled. And, I'm very happy to point you to the guy who did the work if it comes out as good as it looks like it will.
Epi had a FB post a few weeks back highlighting the VP. In the comments I asked for a Pelham blue. They liked it, so they know. Oh yes, they know.

And if I had known they were actually paying attention I would’ve asked for an NR!!
 
I really dislike anything made from goat, including their milk. Let the goats roam free from human interference!
Having milked goats, I can say that fresh goat milk isn't my favorite, either. But, I have issues with cow milk (in spite of having milked those animals as well), and so does my wife. So, we eat goat and sheep milk cheese when we have cheese. Goat leather isn't bad, either.
