actually, all four colors are in stock on amazon, the standard vintage burst, the blue (more like a seafoam green) burst, and the bronze burst are all available with amazon prime, and the red burst is available with $12.95 shipping
yeah she had a hard time finding the blue one but it looks like everywhere has them back in stock now.

Tried one out in Bristol the other day (and some other parlour guitars), and was annoyed that I liked the Fender CP100 that little bit more on everything besides the aesthetics. The tuners and general neck-feel on the Fender are a step-up, and it sounds slightly fuller... but DAT JIM DANDY LOOK, MANE. Damn.

I got me a CP-100. It's not as swanky as the Gretsches but it's lovely in all other regards. The neck, especially, feels great to me.

I don't generally like acoustic guitars all that much though so I wouldn't necessarily set too much store by my opinion.
