Called in to the K'Rd Rockshop the other day and a saw a latest Gibson CS '59 ES 335, got a soft spot 335s, reasonable neck and weight and a good tobacco sunburst finish asking $13k.
Last one I saw there was the last of the Memphis guitars a '58 ri that was August '19 at $8k.

Re: Return of the Gibbons shocker thread!
I watched a thing about market increases in vintage guitars. Some of the price rises are eye-watering. One thing's for sure, my one and only chance to own a pre-CBS Strat passed when I got cold-feet and declined a very generous offer from GrantB.goldtop0 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2024 9:07 am Not a shocker as such more a slightly bemused observation.

And the Boss OD1 I bought for £3 (honestly) about thirty years ago and stupidly sold for about $100 ten years ago, now sells for in the region of $500! FFS....

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll spend thousands on fishing equipment he'll use for a bit, then get bored and move onto something else.

Grumpy old man post ahead. Everyone knows this store will only be a cost. Every Gibson that sells through a "proper" music shop will be subsidising their ego driven folly of big retail stores.
Gibson is truly following their dream of being the Harley-Davidson of guitars. Nothing could turn me off more.
