Members Etienne Rambert Posted June 26, 2018 Members Share Posted June 26, 2018 2017 was a rare year for deep discount Gibson electrics. Post bankruptcy filing,I don’t see any comparable bargains out there. I bought 2 @ fire sale prices - a 2014 SG Special for a son @ $479 and an amazing 2015 Les Paul Double Cut / P90’s @ $579. I regret not buying a Gibson Memphis ES Les Paul Special early this year at Chicago Music Exchange. CME was blowing them out for around $800.(ES 339’s were being sold for around $900.) The two vendors to watch are Sam Ash for solid bodies & CME for ES models.But I think the deep discount days may be over now. You may see past model year LP Fadeds or SG Specials for <$700 but nothing like the bargains we saw in 2017. 1. The robo-tuner models are sold & gone.2. Production has stopped on ES Les Pauls & lower cost ES 339’s.3. Pricing & marketing may be out of Henry J’s hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
