What did you pay for your LP ?

Hellboy · 01-11-2010, 03:32 AM

I am interested in what the LP cost in the different countrys. It seems, that the Gibsons cost much less in Germany, than in the US.

Here in Germany:

Studio: 900-1100 € = ca. 1340 - 1640$
Trad.: 1800€ = ca. 2680$
Standard 08: 1900€ = ca. 2830$
Custom: ca. 2700€ = ca. 4000$

Lets put it this way... I bought my R8 from a shop back in the states and had it shiiped here and paid the customs fees; it still cost less than buying a used R8 here!

Custom: ca. 2700€ = ca. 4000$

Sorry, but to which US prices did you compare them to?

Let's take the most expensive US dealer, Guitar Center!

Trad.: German price: $2680; Guitar Center: $1900
Standard: German price: $2830; Guitar Center: $2200
Custom: German price: $4000; Guitar Center: $3900
R8 VOS: German price: $3920; Guitar Center: $3700

Taking into account that there are places in the US were you can get new Gibsons for far less money than at Guitar Center, I'd say we pay considerably more for Gibsons, here in Germany.

Great, but it's about new prices, I think.

jwk0522 · 01-11-2010, 08:25 AM

oohh sorry guys, well my studio sells for $1,319 brand new on Musiciansfriend.

claricSTi · 01-11-2010, 08:52 AM

Payed $2060 out the door for my 08 Standard

Hellboy · 01-11-2010, 09:00 AM

Hehe. Well, they only show the MSRP (unverbindliche Preisempfehlung).
Just like here in Germany, the MSRP is always significantly higher than the real retail price.

murmel · 01-11-2010, 04:15 PM

and never forget the sales tax.

german prices include 19% sales tax.
us prices usually dont´t. sales tax varies from state to state and can be avoided by buying mail order from out of state.

ehamady6 · 01-11-2010, 04:51 PM

I traded my $2500 autographed Zakk Wylde Gibson (neck was twisting) while it was still barely playable straight up for my $3400 2008 ebony Custom.

qwank · 01-11-2010, 04:59 PM

Paid $1490 for my Trad Pro brand new from musicians Friend

Lord Nerdos · 01-11-2010, 05:06 PM

In Japan:

185,000 yen for a Standard 2008 in Honeyburst. Bought online.

The regular price for the same guitar is 252,000 yen from stores.

Ferrarimk13 · 01-11-2010, 05:42 PM

Played $1200 even with sales tax for a new LP Studio.

Mstele97 · 01-11-2010, 05:44 PM

$1500 fo a 03 standard

Child Please · 01-11-2010, 05:49 PM

I'm looking at buying a used '95 Standard [50's neck] in great condition for $1650...do you guys think that is fair or should it in the $1400 - $1500 range?

username · 01-11-2010, 06:03 PM

new silverburst studio from Musicians Friend (out of state so no sales tax) with 15% off Christmas Day coupon for $1104 total.

Neanderpaul · 01-11-2010, 07:44 PM

$1100 for a brand new '08 Studio w/HSC (all taxes included)

YETI66 · 01-11-2010, 08:01 PM

$854 for my new studio silverburst!

LedZepRulz · 01-11-2010, 08:02 PM

Paid $1300 for my '75 deluxe a couple of months ago, and $700 for my '78 standard a week or 2 ago.

Willsy182 · 01-11-2010, 08:04 PM

Paid $3000 AUD when retail was $4300. Retail is now $4800.

imsilly · 01-11-2010, 09:12 PM

I payed $5,000 for my Les Paul Junior.

Seems at lot, but when you think it costs $15,000 in Australia or $10,000 in the UK I thought I did ok.

Next thing on my to do list is find a nice Special or Goldtop. Though I doubt I'll have the money for a 50s Goldtop anytime soon. One day I guess if I get lucky.

xguitardevilx · 01-11-2010, 09:22 PM

Paid $1300 for this

I haven't purchased a new Les Paul in six years. I think the Fartburst was $1500.00 out the door.

Boleskinehouse · 01-11-2010, 09:57 PM

I didn't. I just went to Gibson and said, "Gimmie some Les Pauls, bitch."

They said, "Ok."
