Members Brendan Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 Good guy, that Tim. I've seen his black Gretsch, but I was just hoping it would appear in another color. Tony Iommi makes the same stipulation with Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JVH Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 I own both Gibsons and Fenders and they both kick ass. Most quality issues can be overcome with a little skill and a little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My '76 Les Paul was my second electric, and I got the SG only two months later. I was fourteen or fifteen, and I'd only been playing for a year. I never said they were "so {censored}ty" or bad guitars. All Gibsons that I've played, and many players like Alex Lifeson will attest to this, that they constantly need something done to them. If I had a fortune at age fifteen, I would have bought a better guitar, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Lifeson is a lifelong Gibson fan...as for needing something done to them...are you talking guitars or mid-60's European sportscars? Generally, if you know how to do a set-up, guitars WILL still go out of tune on occasion. I'm assuming this is what you're talking about...they make devices to check that(tuning forks are a great option).Lastly, I'd say you were a VERY spoiled fourteen or fifteen year old...even if your mom and dad did just buy you a couple of Norlin Gibsons Now quit being a {censored}ty troll and go study for your driver's license!

Members Flintc Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 I paid a reasonable amount of attention, looking for deals on the ES models. I never found one. Did anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note...are all the ES's made in Memphis? You could always try to do 20% off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Custom model has been discontinued, but is still listed at full price. The Standard has always been a couple hundred less.Of course, MF has these periodic 15% off sales of everything they sell, and those are nice, but they certainly aren't blowouts on Gibson ES models. Most ES models are custom shop models anyway, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
