Winter NAMM 2012 News
At new you can pick these up for right at around $4700, which is not a lot for a custom Gibson LP. It is a lot of money for anything music gear related but compared to the custom Gibson LP's that are either '59 or '58 than this price comes under that by quite a lot. This is a cool guitar and if you can live with it being a signature guitar than ...
The price of this guitar is very nice. You can get a great sounding American made guitar for right at around $450 which is stellar price. Overall, this is a cool guitar but in my opinion it is not a main stay guitar. It is not going to be a main guitar for most people because it just has that unusual tone that most people I think are unfamiliar ...
These guitars fetch for $3000 new, but you can certainly find them in many used sections of classifieds or auction sites. If you have the means to spend several thousand dollars for a guitar that I suggest looking around and finding an older used Gibson goal top because it'll serve you right to play a few and get the right perfect one th...
These guitars can very pricey depending on whether it's a studio model or one of the new reissues. Every version of these guitars pretty much carries the same tone but they will sound a little bit different depending on what version you get. Of course the higher models will have a little bit beefy tone and certainly feel a lot better tha...
Breathtakingly good. I'm so impressed with this guitar. I'd have given it a ten if it was just a bit less expensive and had better inlays, like split parallelograms. Gibsons can be a bit pricey for what they are, especially for something like a Les Paul. However, this one is still priced very well for the quality of guitar it is. I'd recommend a...
I'm a fan of this. The cool factor is way up there, and it's good to have available a USA-made Gibson Flying V for under $500! It's for minimalist guitarists - players that don't feel like futzing about with their knobs and players that just wanna rock. Very nice, Gibson.
Overall, this is a very nice axe. I'm glad Gibson has this Faded series, so they can save money on expensive gloss finishes but still give the customer a good instrument. Playability is fantastic, and the tone is just incredible. I know I'm using a lot of superlatives, but really, this is a knock-out instrument that I'd recommend to anyone. Over...
So why am I rating this super-nice guitar that I've just highly praised a mere 7? PRICE. Gibson is asking a full $3500 street price on this. To be blunt, that's extremely arrogant on their part - it's as if they are charging a full 50% of the value of the guitar just for having the Gibson NAME on it. If this was a $2000, this would be an incredi...
Gibson seems to miss a few details on these. I have owned a few and every one has some minor flaw or two. But the price is pretty good. I wish the fret work was better and they would put in some better pickups. But that's how these things work. I think these are better deals on the used market but they aren't terrible for what you pay new. ...
I'm most impressed with how good this guitar looks and feels for the price. No it is not a 335 and it isn't trying to be. I should mention that the fretboard doesn't look like wood when you give it a close eye, but when playing it is totally just like ebony in feel. It's great. Great sounding guitar. Not really a bad thing I can say about i...
