Members GAS Man Posted February 4, 2007 Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 Not the last place. http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i-GIB-LPSTUG-FI.html The $999 was just a temporary price reduction. At the new MF catalog price of $1,199.99 that's still less than the earlier price in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cc999 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 That 1199 plus 170 for the Alpine White, Sunburst, classic white, and Herirage Cherry! Thats 1369 total. The only ones at 1199 are Wine Red or Ebony. Charlie C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Except for maybe the platinum). So that is a good $100 over last year's price. It's funny that MF is saying with their banner sticker on the ad, "Save $70" when in fact they are advertising an all time new high price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leftyDaveZ Posted February 4, 2007 Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 I picked up my WR Studio (lefty even) for 999 at GC, but it was minus the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saving up for a LP Standard Limited Edition Manhattan Midnight. :love: that's so hot! but I think Gibson is slowly killing itself by continuing to raise its prices... I could be wrong but one day people will realise too much is too much. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a Gibson hater (I even own one) but if prices keep going up like that...sry but then I'm going to The Heritage, Schecter, Hamer and others...

I don't think the price increase is that drastic. The $999 was probably just a holiday gimmick or something to boost sales. IIRC, they used to be around $1300 about 5 years ago. Factor in inflation (also note that the price of MIM strats and MIA strats went up as well from their prices 5 years ago) and it seems about right.

It's $2500. I got to check one out at a local music store last week. It was nice but had several cosmetic flaws..... and they still wanted $2500 for it. There was orange peel paint, paint on the binding, and paint flaking off around the tailpiece posts. I'm gonna keep looking till I find a better one. I ain't gonna pay $2500 for that crap!

Members dcooper830 Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 They would not take anything off the price tag with those blemishes? Well...... I didn't ask them if they would. But even if they took $500 off, I wouldn't want to pay $2000 for a guitar that had flaws like that. I told one of the sales guys "If I'm going to pay $2,500 for a guitar, it has to be perfect....." He said "Well, you should have seen the last Manhattan Midnight Les Paul we had in here... it was terrible..... it makes this one look perfect......... so really dude this is about as good as it gets." I wanted to say "I don't believe that for a second....." but I wasn't going to argue with him. That day I did play a Vintage Mahogany that was pretty nice. And I played a BFG that was really nice too. But I want the Les Paul Standard Limited Edition Manhattan Midnight. And when I find one that's perfect.... I will buy it.

Members cc999 Posted February 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 I thought I read somewhere that 2/4 the sale would end everywhere. Just checked again at: http://www.zzounds.com/prodsearch?q=les+paul+studio&form=search Still 999! That will change any day now so if you are on the edge go for it!!!!!!!!!

Totally lame response by the salesman. What a joke. Stick to you guns and wait for a nice one. There is one on ebay right now and has some different flame/grain going on. http://cgi.ebay.com/Gibson-Les-Paul-Manhattan-Midnight-Limited-1st-Edition_W0QQitemZ270085985124QQihZ017QQcategoryZ47072QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the Back of those blue? I saw another picture and the back and sides were blue. For 2,500 you can get a R8 Custom Shop for a bunch of Les Paul Dealers... Why would you rather have that than a custom shop, plecked, historic edition Les Paul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
