Amazon/Gibson SG Fusion £365 Black Friday

LKV_Jazzmaster

So I noticed the Gibson Black Friday deals went live at midnight on Amazon. 

Not as impressive as previous years, although I guess they might be holding out for the actual Black Friday ? 

Anyway. They’ve dropped the SG Fusion in cherry red down to 365. I guess that’s a USA guitar for Mid range Epi money and is one of the biggest price drops. 

Be interested to see a review of one if someone pics one up, lots of mixed reviews about them on the net...

Everything about that is wrong.

Really? Lightweight tuners, unbreakable neck, simple controls, wraparound bridge?

Looks like a bang on player's guitar to me, I'm trying to talk myself out of getting one.

Apparently the bridge is designed so that it's impossible to lower the action enough, going by some of the reviews.

Now £599?

The white one went down to £312 last week... The similar Les Pauls have been down to <350 I think every now and again over the year

Click on a different colour, then click back to wine red. Now showing £344.28 for me.

is it Brown? 

fields5069

Seems to be back up to £599 for me as well now.

p90fool

Full price again now. 

kt66

look at again, it now lands at the Wine red price, the poopy brown one is £344.28 now 

fields5069

I can get the little icon to say £344.28, not the main price though which is £599 now. £599 when I add to basket too.

That’s nuts. The prices are all over the place it seems!

LKV_Jazzmaster

From what I remember they had 8 in stock last night now they are down to 6. Maybe they only had 2 at the reduced rate and that’s why it’s gone back up?

p90fool

Can't find the brown one at all, just three other colours at £599

I've never seen one of these in the flesh...but I've heard enough to not be tempted even at half price!

Yuk. Nope. But Buffalo Trace bourbon is only £15 today and that's a fantastic deal.

You would have thought he could have tuned the thing at least.

I still stand by my original statement. The headstock looks stupid, the maple neck looks wrong, the scratchplate is a bizarre shape and I wouldn't buy one for £100.

That's coming from a Gibson fan.
