Yeah, if you buy one from Guitar Splinter.

R9. · 10-26-2008, 03:17 PM

Surprised? Les Pauls have gone up, why wouldn't these?

Texas07R8 · 10-26-2008, 04:33 PM

I'm a Gibson nut, have been for years. But over about the past year, year and a half, they've pretty much priced me out of buying new. SG standards over $1500 and 61RI's over $2,000? That's just insane. I'd like to buy more new Gibsons, but barring an oddball screamin' deal I can no longer justify the prices they are asking. Odd they jack the prices up when money is frozen and very few people are buying anymore (relatively speaking).

Instead of complaining about the price of a new one, just buy used.

R9. · 10-31-2008, 01:03 PM

Won't this price increase on new Gibsons also raise the price on used ones?
It should, if you think about it.

Speaking strictly new here. I find it strange because prices here in Canada actually went down a while ago. From what I remember, around two years ago a SG Standard was $1,600 and change and a '61 RI was close to $2,000. Now, a new Standard is $1,325 and (I believe) the '61 RI is $1,800.

This had A LOT to do with our dollar a while ago. $1.00 Canadian was $1.10 US. I'm sure our prices will eventually go up as well.

I do both. I complain about the new prices, and back it up by shopping for used deals anymore. And I'm a gear-flipper who's gone through probably no less than fifty Gibsons in the past 5 years. I always thought they were a bit heavy, but affordable (for me). They've now priced me out over this past year or so. Their price increases on average seem to be between 15%-30% depending on the model. That by far outruns most people's cost of living salary inflation that averages 2%-3%.
