RE: EDP/MF availability



Hello All,

My name is Kevin Van Pamel, recently returned to Gibson and one of my
responsibilities is the EDPP.  Some of you I know from my last tour
here.

Most US backorders were finally shipped to dealers last week and should
be in the process of arrival.  MF backorders were filled and some extra
inventory sent for future orders. We are also able to ship
internationally for the first time.  We are shipping EDPP to Europe this
month.

My apologies for all of the confusion and disappointment of late.  I
left in February of 2003 and it seems shipments have been weak since.
Going forward, the EDPP should ship regularly, depending on demand, but
our ability to meet orders is much improved.

I'm happy to try and answer any questions in regards to the EDPP product
availability, future plans, etc. as well as hear any suggestions.  As
one guy trying to manage the EDPP and the Gibson amp range, my time gets
tight but I do respond to every reasonable question and comment as soon
as I can.

Thank you for your support and patience.

Kevin Van Pamel

I did respond to the notification I received by e-mail *and* by phone
and
they cancelled mine anyway. I called them up and told them that I wanted
my
order reinstated in the queue in the original order. They said they
would do
that but who knows if they did or if it's even possible.

That's not that many considering that they have been advertising these
as
being available in every single catalog they've sent me in the past 6
months. I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't even get mine due to them
screwing up and cancelling my order.
