I was going to say "I'd pay to see that" but apparently I'm broke now!

£2.5k is the usual fee, or £3.5k if we wear these:

Is the same CS price dumping happening in the US?

Don't think so - Peach said it was the European warehouse of 300 LP's they were emptying to raise some cash...

Let's hope there's not 150 2015 LPs in greenburst in there..

That’s just shy of £750,000 in total at the current price!

Makes you wonder how many guitars Gibson Europe have stockpiled. 

I wonder if they have a nice SG style bass they could offload for a few pennies? Hmmm...

Remember it was GG that forced Peach to drop to £2499. Peach originally listed them at £2799 - and only matched GG a few days later. For which I shall be eternally grateful of course... but as John said, the VAT man made the most money off these next to Gibson...

£750,000 isn't mega money in the business world really.

I guess they realised they would be sold so fast it would limit damage to the their perceived pricing structure

So what's the verdict for those who've bought one?

Gawd, why am I asking...

In Gibson’s current quagmire it’s chump change. But at least Dave Grohl might finally have his $124 account settled.

It's a £4k guitar that cost £2.5k and should have cost £2.5k in the first place so it's worth it, which has caused a gold rush as they are usually not worth it, especially at £4k

Oh, and we got a tiny view of what the US was like in 1849

I wonder if they chose Europe because the prices are already more inflated here compared to the US (I think they are?)

Not as well finished as an Epiphone and it has lots of haunting mids :-p

I suspect it's part of their "stockpiling" policy - they do it worldwide for different markets. Dunno why. Frankly I think they are mad. Actually - we know they are mad!
