I just saw Guitar Center selling a pre-owned Lazarus for $1250...
It's nice, but $1249.00? Hum???yes, that's the one. Good looking top as well.
I know, especially considering that you can find a pre-owned Gibson LP (Trad or Classic) at GC for jest few hundred dollars more or Gibson LP Studio or Tribute for several hundred cheaper than Lazarus (under $1000).It's nice, but $1249.00? Hum???
Sure, you can backorder it - but will you ever get it?You can also still backorder them for $899. Anyone who pays more than that is an idiot. Period.
Should have worded it better. It's not worth a penny more than $899. And actually could have been had new for much less.Sure, you can backorder it - but will you ever get it?
I have Alex Lifeson on backorder for months and it does not look like it will come through.

ExactlyYou need to peruse the Gibson model specific forums, eh?
Trads, Standards, MLs, Customs, Juniors, Specials, SGs... should I go on?
Yeah man i'm glad i got one before they are all gone. No way would have paid what people are asking on reverb ! I would just have to do without one.That JB you pictured above is really good looking. Nice top on that thing too...I think this guitar is definitely worth 1k. It is really a fantastic guitar, which feels/plays/looks and sounds great.
Here is the money shot, 3k vs 1k where both of these feel/play and sound great.

I haven’t looked lately, but there were a bunch on Reverb just sitting there at inflated prices. I think people bought them planning to flip them for a big profit and it’s just not happening.No way would have paid what people are asking on reverb !
Last time I looked, the "sold" listings seemed to all be in the $1k range, and chances are, a lot of them accepted offers below the asking price.I haven’t looked lately, but there were a bunch on Reverb just sitting there at inflated prices.
