With all due respect, I had the rudest customer experience in a long time connected to my purchase on Reverb recently

I have this amp too. Perfect simple headphone amp. Otherwise can look at Positive Grid Spark Go, or for something a bit more substantial, the Boss Katana 50 mk2. If you ever plan to do more than just jam in your bedroom, you can basically do everything with Boss Katana 50. Regardless, you will not regret buying a Fender Mustang Micro since it's really nice to have if you live in an apartment.

$1869 (nice) for a show model Les Paul Standard, with free shipping and no tax (CA) is pretty damn good. Hard to beat that on the used market, let alone from a retailer.

I noticed Irvine Music Store is also having an "in-cart" sale until the end of the month -- mostly on Ibanez and Yamaha electrics. I mention it in this thread though because at least one price there was lower. The Irvine deals are too inconsistent there to be worth a new thread (some sale guitars get additional in-cart discounts, but many do not). Worth a look to double check though if you are looking for a specific guitar. They seem to charge out-of-state taxes (they are in California) -- so that might kill any better pricing. Free US shipping over $50.

This one was cheaper at Irvine Music Store:
New Revstar Element RSE20 pricing (Cream Music with WC20: $439.99 and Irvine Music in-cart pricing $412.50). (note: I checked using a relative's address in Kentucky -- with tax, final price was: $437.25) https://shop.irvineartandmusic.co...swift-blue

Regards!

Just make sure you have what you need. I made an order, then went back later and wanted to order more. I was not able to use the code with the same email. It will work with a different email. It's a good deal for just about anything!

Weird, there store is just down the road from my work. It looks like a typical small independent music shop, never would have guessed they had such a huge inventory and online store.

Why didn't this go FP? 20% off a brand spanking new Gibson LP + $0 tax for most ✌️

No idea, their "used" models were a killer deal too. I bought my dream Les Paul for cheaper than I ever could have imagined.

I bought a "used" 2023 Les Paul Standard in Honey Amber for $1800 shipped. [creamcitymusic.com]
Site said it was a floor model, but it wasn't a floor model for very long. Came with still sealed case-candy, which the factory check-off sheet said was built on 10/27/23.

Guitar arrived perfectly in tune (debatable if that's a good thing or not), intonation is perfect, action is the right height, frets are polished, not a nick anywhere in the finish. Binding is perfectly scraped, no hint of amber tint bleed.

If I had to be picky, there was polishing compound build up behind the truss rod cover. But $1800 for an AA top Les Paul is a steal. I was actually looking for slightly mismatched figuring too, not a super uniform AAA top.

It only weighs 7 pounds 10 ounces too!! For a non-chambered model, that's like a unicorn!

I'm going to remove the pickup covers, maybe throw in Gotoh locking Kluson style tuners (SD510-SL-XN-MG), and if I'm feeling brave drop fill the pickguard screw hole and replace the ABR-1 threaded bushings with direct screwed in posts. Otherwise I'm happy with the guitar as is.

This is the first Gibson I have ever purchased with zero flaws. I like my other Gibsons, but so many small details are always screwed up, despite these being expensive guitars.

Even my used Gibsons had obvious signs of flaws or finish issues, as did my new ones. My brand new 2013 SG Standard had a terrible nut and bad intonation, my used 2004 ES-335 Dot has wood splinters inside the hollow parts and poorly scraped binding. My used Billie Joel Armstrong Les Paul Jr.'s neck side markers aren't anywhere near centered.

They're all beautiful guitars that sound great, but not flawless like a PRS, ESP, or high end Yamaha would be. My 80's Yamaha SG2000 puts every one of my Gibsons to shame, except this brand new 2023 Les Paul. I'm honestly in shock. The quality is just amazing, finally. Only took numerous bankruptcies...
