Too bad, because if they did any kind of price matching I'd buy everything from those guys. Actually, they were in on it too, but sold out early on. LP Traditional Pluses were price matched to Sam Ash for $1599. They were also price matching the Traditional GTs at $1399. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HanSolo Posted December 16, 2012 Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 An SG Standard w. P90's for S839 less 15% ... OMG. And I just bought a used Guild Bluesbird and am cashed out right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wulver Posted December 16, 2012 Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 Ran into one of these at GC today, and though I didn't have a chance to try it amplified I found myself quite liking the feel and the looks. It seems to be the new version of the Faded SGs, and it manages to look simpler without looking cheap. Cool stuff. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Elec...n-USA/SGJ.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically a Midtown and a 60's Tribute for $1k + $100 GC and I made $200 off the 70s. You're off to a good start. Since all of the Gibson sales started, I'm in for: Les Paul Traditional Pro Ebony $1150.24 @ GC.com ($1899 regular price) Les Paul Traditional Gold Top $1292.97 @ MF w/price match ($2189 rp) Les Paul Standard Blue Mist $1449 @ MF w/price match w/$525 e-certificate ($2499 rp) Flying V Heritage Cherry $707 @ m123 w/price match ($1199 rp) Les Paul Deluxe Gold Top $1245 @m123 w/price match ($2149 rp) Les Paul Traditional Plus Chicago Blue $562.99 - used level 2 @ $1279.99 - 15% - $525 e-certifcate (fp for a used level 2 = $1839.20) and that is just the Gibsons from the last month or two... I guess I will use the logic of one of my ex-gfs and look at it as 'saving' $5367 as opposed to spending $6407. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
