Not that I'm complaining, the one I got with your price match is flawless. Thanks again, BTW. Sounds like m123 needs to work on their math skills. $1799 vs $1499 would be a price match of about $1430 with their 123% price match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members this is paul Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 The $999 for my Traditional Satin LP was well worth it. IMO, it's one of the best Gibsons I've played. You get the full body but without the sticky neck. Wouldn't buy one at regular price. Hell, I probably wouldn't buy one at $1250 either, but for the price it was a deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha great follow up. It's not about how much money you make, but rather how you spend and save your money. This single principle is destroying our country, because everybody thinks the savers and thrifty spenders are just lucky. What hurts me is that the people who really need help will never get it.

I forgot to include the zzounds FROSTY2012 code in there...I got zzounds to go from $1500 to $1350 with the code...M123 matched plus 23% of the difference=$1245(NOT $1249 as I originally said)...Zzounds then matched M123's price match and I was able to get it from ZZounds for $1245, leaving me with a price match from M123...You're totally welcomed once again I just got mine and it's THE {censored}!

I don't get yea point? People with money and also people with little money always look for deals. Just because people have money you think that they Pay Msrp on everything?I just think they enjoy deals like everyone else babyyyy......JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as which is the better instrument...that really boils down to personal preference. I've always wanted a Deluxe, so for me, the Deluxe is a much better guitar. For someone else, the Traditional is the clear winner...when all else fails, think about cosmetics...do you prefer gold top or ebony since those are your only choices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true...in essence, the Deluxe IS the "better" guitar...it has all the top-shelf bells and whistles(and I'm thoroughly happy with mine), but I didn't wanna come off as a dick-to someone who prefers the full-sized humbuckers, the Traditional is just fine. Beyond any doubt, the Deluxe is the superior deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond any doubt, the Deluxe is the superior deal. Agreed. As long as you're fine with mini-hums and the bigger neck, the Deluxe is a no-brainer over the Satin Mahogany Trad.

Also, as the proud owner of a 70's Studio Tribute LP, I can assure you that the mini-hums on the Deluxe are true to the originals...(the tribute has re-designed mini-hums which are FANTASTIC but not the same) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fixed all the problems but 1 (lip on fretboard) the other problems, poorly cut nut I fixed, and broken vol pot I fixed. plus guitars are like puppies: once you take them home you fall in love straight away despite thier shortcomings, you dont want to give it back after you develop feelings.

Members Bucksstudent Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 I don't think I'll ever buy another Gibson for any price. I own two; vintage and modern, and neither have the quality of Fender, Rickenbacker, or Ibanez. Their sound is great, but even if they were burned in a fire, I wouldn't replace them.
