Anyone know what the deal is here? Why $1000, if they don't even have them? I assumed overstock of an unpopular color, but they're not even at Sweetwater yet?

I actually dig the color, and I'm tempted at $1000 off, having owned a lot of LP copies at various levels, but never an actual Gibson (though have had a couple of Gibby SG's over the years), but was actually looking at other guitars.. trying to talk myself out of this one and having a hard time. If it were the white plain top it'd already be ordered. 🙃

For $1600 you get a real Les Paul versus getting a used one. Go ahead and buy one. You can try to wait to see if in the next day or two they change the color. Pelham Blue probably would have been my pick of the 5 colors, but the green may actually look nicer in person.

There were some when this deal posted, I saw 2 in stock when I first went to the page... less than an hour later they were sold, probably because this is a really good deal.

Solid deal. If Pelham blue id have pulled trigger. I don't need another Gibson. But super tempting.

Oof. Dead. Pulled as I was checking out. Frown I am more bummed than I expected to be if I didn't get it. I guess I took too long looking for / activating rewards extensions..

Congrats to those who scored one! There were 3 in stock when I posted the deal. I posted it here to keep me from buying another standard. And if you haven't seen that inverness green in person, it's awesome!

Damn this would've been an impulse buy especially with that Chase cashback! Looks like I'm gonna use the $$$ to buy a new washer/dryer after all.

These good deals seem to happen with fair regularity. Keep a close eye and you'll catch one here. Keep your chin up.

Yeah - most of the time they pop up on a spec or color that I'm not interested in, though, and even then I don't remember seeing quite as high as ~40% off!

Oh well; I suck at guitar anyway. 🙃

I did email Sweetwater asking if they're expecting any more, or for that price to be continued if/when they do get more, or if it's possible to get on a back order/wait list, and my "sales engineer" reached out and said that it's discontinued and there will be no more. Bummer.

Straight up, darth .. I've been playing guitar for 50 years, was lead guitar player in a damn good band that released a couple albums in the eighties.

The best guitars I ever owned were bought used. In fact, the greatest guitar I ever owned was a Gibson Flying V I bought from a pawn shop in Memphis, Tennessee. And I'm from Cleveland so .. that's quite a ways out of my way. But, I booked a flight to L.A. that had an 8-hour layover in Memphis. On purpose. And that V, she just SQUEALED .. and bitched .. and moaned. Dude, I would go in to a studio to record a track and get in to it, come in to the control room and listen to the playback and say, "I didn't play that. I DIDNOT play that." That guitar was SPOOKY. If I ever got stuck writing a tune, I'd just pick that guitar up and she'd tell me exactly where it went. She already knew.

I figured that it was owned by some weirdo in Memphis .. or listening to it scream and cry during a solo .. I thought maybe it was owned by a heroin addict going through withdrawals as he was too poor to buy dope. And the pain of the energy was just passed on through to something else that was once alive .. that wood in the guitar. A wavelength we have absolutely no way to measure and probably never will .. but an emotional energy that is transferred through living things .. and only things that lived. Because there was guitar solos .. MANY solos .. and I'd listen to the playback and go, "I didn't play that. IN FACT, I don't think I'm GOOD enough to play that."

So .. remember my words and think about a used guitar of real high quality.

There's somethin' about 'em.

After 50 years I've learned .. there's somethin' different about every one of them.

And a new machine is blank.

It's got nothin' to say, no stories to render and no vibe to feel and use to your advantage.

Straight Up.

I've just been trying to go through old band photos and memories to catalog the guitars I've owned and I think only three or four have been purchased new - and all but one were post-band days, so minimal playing time anyway. And other than the Epiphone SG that I gigged for years when poor in college that I did enjoy, all of the "purchased new" guitars all sat and collected dust until they were sold, even though they were probably my nicest/fanciest/most-expensive of the history, with other guitars being reached for first. So you might be on to something!
