Ordering Gibsons from the U.S, Good dealers?

[Justice4all]

Hey all, im dying to buy my first Gibson after years of saying i never would. Funny how age changes your opinions, choices likes and dislikes.

Im from New Zealand and a Lp Custom would rob me about $5500 NZ dollars and a Standard about $4700.

I know Gibson "still" have QC problems so im asking is there a good shop/dealer you guys know that picks his guitars and makes sure they arnt finished with there common finishing problem?

Im also after the 84 reissue Explorer, man do i want one of those as well, but i need to pre-order those dont i?

And do i have to pay "list" price for these?

Sorry for all the questions guys!

Harley

Talk to Saul at Centre City Music in San Diego. You won't be sorry. HUUUUGE selection of primo Gibsons and the guy will dance around in a ballet tutu for you if that's what it takes to close the deal. He does look his guitars over carefully too.
