PB, Dargie, Brian @ GC Manhattan!

Took an early lunch and stopped by the NYC GC to say hello to BP, Scott and Brian. Anthony Delucia was there with his son as well. Spent most of the time in the Bass Room with BP talking to some of the sales guys about what was moving and giving them info on the product line. They've apparently been selling the 2006 Black LE's very well.

They do have a 30th Ray and a 20th Silo in stock. Although when I left, BP was looking to close the 30th with one of the customers, even getting the GC CEO to confirm the financing special available.

Pretty interesting. Got to here BP's take on some sales and production issues, product lines, LE's etc. and, as always, a story or two.

Nice to see Anthony again, who I spent some time with driving from the airport to the open house last year. Thanks again to BP, Scott and Brian for letting us crash their business meeting and eavesdrop a bit.

I wonder if BP used the reverse headlock deal closer on this one!!!!!!!!

 

[CudBucket]

Damn! Why didn't I see this yesterday?!?

 

[AnthonyD]

Yep - very cool indeed... Some pics and commentary below, especially for the guitar-side of the house......

BP zeroed right in on my son and demanded an arm-wrestle (Anthony let him win! )
In all honesty, BP gave him lots of attention and made him feel quite special!

Here's a cool twist - my son hanging out with Sterling's sons!
(L to R: Brian, Anthony, Scott)

Here's my son losing his mind with a 20th Anniversary Silo!

The 5-ply striping is awesome!

Anthony got up-close and personal with Sterling's guitar style - both traditional and
"work-bench" style soloing and chording techniques. "Dad, we wasn't just good, he was
AWESOME!"

Fun time!

 

[pauldogx]

Something like that.....mind you, CINCHouse was very resistant at first and I could have sworn (yet, I did have a few beers at this point) he looked like he was about to lose this one....then, BAM......she broke....hehehehehe.......

 

[Big Poppa]

The closer strikes again

Here are a coupla more shots...BP had to show the guys on the floor some of his bag o trix and used some double secret closing moves for this nice man from France and his wife.......

Only this one doesn't have the piezo, so yours is gonna have on more volume knob (which are gonna be chrome...) and an extra toggle switch...

EDIT:

Man, I'm really sorry I didn't know about this sooner. I'd have run in to say "Hi" and meet BP and his entourage.
