PSA: Gibson 2015 deals (again)

redrighthand

Just been browsing the DV247 website. Some pretty outstanding deals on 2015 Gibsons there, with some highlights being: 

 LPMs in black or red for £419: http://www.dv247.com/guitars/gibson-les-paul-lpm-2015-6-string-electric-guitar-translucent-ebony--212011 ;

LP Traditionals in Honeyburst for £899: http://www.dv247.com/guitars/gibson-les-paul-traditional-2015-6-string-electric-guitar-honeyburst--212027 ;

LP Studios in Manhattan Midnight Blue for £499: http://www.dv247.com/guitars/gibson-les-paul-studio-2015-6-string-electric-guitar-manhattan-midnight--212013 ;

LP standards in cherry and amber for £1299: http://www.dv247.com/guitars/gibson-les-paul-standard-2015-6-string-electric-guitar-heritage-cherry-sunburst-candy--212032 http://www.dv247.com/guitars/gibson-les-paul-standard-2015-6-string-electric-guitar-trans-amber-cherry-back-candy--212035 ;

Now, I'm not affiliated with DV247. Indeed by all accounts on here the service is pretty lacking. However I like to share a good deal when I see one. Plus vicarious GASsing is the next best thing to personally GASsing. So full steam ahead people.

Only the standard cherry link works. The rest don't

They're still dropping in price aren't they. Bring on Black Friday

Most of the links work - they are all suffixed with "&nbsp" which is causing the issue.

Remove that and you'll find they should be fine.

Purple burst traditional. Mmmm. The other guitarist in the band has bought a cherry sunburst one, I didn't know they had a candy apple red back. Looks quite nice, and those cases are brilliant.

Can't get them working from my iPhone at all. Goes straight to DV247 with a 404 page not found error.

Will try on PC tomorrow

The Manhattan Midnight SG studio at £499 is a serious bargain. The Less Paul at £749 is also pretty cool, probably my favourite of the bunch.

Prices are unreal!

Anyone tried one of the Less Plus models, at the price I am very tempted.

kiwiboi

Awesome prices but the widened necks on these new models are a bit weird. If you hands find them perfect, this is a seriously good bargain

Goes to show how much I don't want Gibson in general

Ive reviewed briefly elsewhere on here my findings...

I find most Gibsons disappointing,mwith the exception of a £3300 (!!) R4 I owned. But i recently purchased a 2015 LP Jr which was surprisingly good.

I loved the G Force tuning system, which actually works very well if you like alternative tunings AND follow the manual ! The finish and looks were great; mine has had to go back because of the jack problem.

Im gonna get another methinks...

I seen your post about that guitar, I'd have just changed the socket rather than risk getting another that's not as good next time.

I've set alerts of the juniors drop below certain prices (different price for each colour) so may end up with one yet.

The Futura at £619 looks good, it's a 2014 so none of the controversial stuff...

Apart from the 2014 inlay

Classics are under 800 now. Mental.

There are still some Sprint Run 2015 guitars with normal sized necks and tuners but tbh they seem to cost as much if not more than the street price of 2016 ones.

D247 pissing around with their prices again PAGE 404 on the LPM

For £420, the Jr is a stealllll

I'd have had the 2014 LPM in a shot if I was after a Les Paul type...

The LP with the p90 and HB combo looks good.

Beware - try before you buy....it's a really odd guitar in the flesh and imagine it'll plummet in resale value.
