Gibson 2015 prices

If I was getting a new Gibson now, the Memphis ES line is much better value,

I honestly couldn't part with that sort of cash for a guitar, I just couldn't. But then I'm happiest playing mexi strats

Brand new 2014 Gibson Custom Les Paul 1958 VOS Reissue in various colours for £2450 from Ginos Guitars in Italy. In other words, half of what Gibson would prefer you to pay

regarding the LPs from Italy, Ginos...great store BTW ^......am I right in thinking what you see is what you pay? no tax extras when shipped....any other stores like this in Europe with good prices and a LARGE selection of '58s?

@hootsmon

Iirc there is no tax due as they are part of the Euro zone.

Me. Not that I'd be in a position to pay that for a guitar without the Mrs going stratospheric. But I would, yes. That's what they is for.

You'd drive your 15 Grand Vauxhall down the pub and leave it out in the car park all night.

I wouldn't buy a Vauxhall ne'er mind spunk £15k on one, I've learned something from Phil!

But yep, I'd leave me Toyota there. And have done

Mind you, used R8 is where the money's at, fuck them new prices.

I seem to be in a Fender phase at the moment... which is probably just as well really.

I'm pretty happy with the Gibsons I already have and wouldn't buy new at these increased prices.

That's a fair shout. Fancy this tele?That'll be £4,231 please sir.http://www.andertons.co.uk/solid-body-electric-guitars/pid38217/cid671/fender-custom-shop-merle-haggard-tele.asp

That is the opposite of everything a tele should be. I wouldn't pay four hundred for it (unless I bought it to flip to some idiot for £k's!).

I think this 2015 pricing is a very interesting idea.

If I can find find a new car with prevous generation plastics on the dashboard for two thirds of the price.....I might be interested.

If I had to spend that kind of money on a new Tele I'd get a master built blackguard.
