Which brings me to this follow up on my request for summaries of EDP 
purchaser's
experiences...

I was on the phone today with (someone who shall remain nameless) at a 
very 
respectable west coast bay area dealer discussing EDP price and 
availability and
he said this...

"We've got 6 units on order and they should arrive this week or next at 
the 
latest... IT WILL BE HARD TO GET EDP'S AFTER THAT BECAUSE GIBSON IS MOVING 
THE 
FACTORY."

He also said all their units thus far had Oberheim on them and they've 
received 
no Electra units. He didn't know about that change.

I'm going to the LD list archive to dig up the Gibson contact person and 
email 
or call them to get some real answer, but this does not sound good to 
someone 
who just sold a pile of gear (including my JamMan) in order to purchase an 
EDP... I you have that contact info please let me know.

best,
Miko
