Big Gibson sale @ Sweetwater and ZZounds

[Thundersteel]

BIG price drops on most Gibsons--up to 40% off their usual prices!

[serial]

AMS too

A Supreme for 2.500$ ? A Nighthawk 225 for 839$? Killer prices from a European point of view...

Edit: a bit less euphoric after finding out that the boards are richlite....

Hey, when times are scarse you can soak it in water and eat it. It's nutritious. So don't slam it.

some of the premium tops are starting to get plucked from sweetwater.... however I thought this one was pretty cool

edit: someone just got it.

When did Gibson start using compound radius fretboards?

Antique white SG Standard with the auto-tune thingy was tempting last night at $1049. By the time I woke this morning someone had saved me.

The Music Zoo is having a 50% off sale on all Gibsons. Sick!

I am not sure if I am bored, jaded or just broke.....Most likely a bit of each.....NOTHING (in what they actually DO have at those reductions) is remotely interesting enough to give any serious thought. I hope someone else is finding what they want/need.

One more sign (IMO) that they have produced thousands more Gibsons than the market demands and all their dealers are stuck with them. Not that they are bad (well, I guess experience suggests some of them are) but does the world really need another hundred thousand (or whatever) Les Pauls a year?

I just grabbed a white Firebird. Resistance was futile.

+1

I've got two Gibbys and that's all I EVER see me needing/wanting. Seriously.

Unfortunately (or maybe, fortunately) this was not included among the deep discounts:

I did find one Les Paul Traditional on the Sweetwater site (50's neck was the first condition for consideration) - it weighed in at 9lbs. 10oz. - that's heavier than my P-Bass!

Somebody let me know if they start throwing out the Luther Dickinson 335's (above) though!

I came DAMNED close to one of those myself.

Hesitated...gone!
