Ok everyone,

NEW NEWS posted at the corporate site!

And I QUOTE...

"We will cease taking orders for the following models following the end of the NAMM 2009 tradeshow on January 18th, 2009:

325C58
4001C64
4001C64S

This change is due to the factory already working at 100% capacity, combined with a plan to offer some additional products which might be considered to overlap with these models."

I'll post over at the bass section as well...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Why is this happening? Could the C64 be turning into a RM 1999 reissue? Could God have asked John Hall to make a reissue of the 1993/12?

Why am I asking YOU all these questions?

Something's afoot...

Meanwhile I'll be anxiously awaiting the news.

I'm glad I hadn't planned on ordering a C64.

I like the last line in the news, sounds interesting.

Beats the hell out of me!

Ok, WHO'S going to NAMM to scope out the goodies?!?!?!?!?

I'm going to NAMM.

Your mission, Joey, should you choose to accept it, is to GET SOME PICTURES and the SCOOP on what the heck is going on!

....This thread will destruct in 10 seconds.............

Were you planning on ordering one of those, Jake?

I'll be there too.

I wonder if the C58 overlap would be something like the V59 with the Bigsby already mounted.

I think Paul W. is already there. Wonder if he'll check in tonight

I'd order the 1993/12 reissue, yes, John.

The first corporate site headline news in over a year !! Could be the precursor
to some significant headlines forthcoming. Tip of the whale's tale--
Please share your NAMM excursions, if you are lucky enough to attend

I meant one of the soon-to-be discontinued models. Your reaction was that of utter devastation.

I WAS going to delete it for dramatic effect, I still have the time, but TOO many people responded already!
