Deal Details
Gibson rarely has their guitars on sale. This deal is only through Sweetwater as I searched everywhere else for the same guitar. I couldn't pass this up since I have been wanting a real Gibson Les Paul 60's. They have the same color and price for the 50's as well. The sale is only for the burgundy color. The rest are full price at $2599. This is $600 off and comes with a Gibson hard case.
The Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s Plain Top boasts the classic design that's kept this solidbody electric guitar relevant, played, and loved throughout the decades. You get tried-and-true maple-over-mahogany construction, and its '60s Burstbucker pickups milk every ounce of tone out of its musically resonant body. The Les Paul Standard '60s Plain Top's set mahogany neck wields Gibson's time-tested SlimTaper profile, and its 12-inch-radius Indian rosewood fingerboard offers playability that's second to none. A Graph Tech nut, ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge, aluminum stopbar tailpiece, and Grover Rotomatic tuners with kidney buttons round out this Les Paul Standard's hardware. You also get single-ply body and fingerboard binding, acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlays, a mother-of-pearl headstock logo, and a spotlight-stealing nitrocellulose lacquer finish. If you've been wanting a modern Les Paul with a slinky '60s feel and premium appointments, Sweetwater has your axe. The Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s Plain Top is the one you've been waiting for.

They've had multiple 50s and 60s colors on sale the last few months.

This isn't a "rare" sale by any means, but it's still $600 off which is decent for a LP Standard.

You've been playing for 50 years and still pay someone to do a basic setup?

$1899 no tax a few years ago, and $1699 no tax (or $1599 + tax) last year, for these plain top / custom colors standards. Why is $1999 + tax today a deal at all?

Those $1699 guitars were open box store demos. How do I know, I bought one from MF and it was all jacked up. I sent it back immediately

$1699 no tax from https://slickdeals.net/f/18622411-gibson-les-paul-standard-50s-plain-top-sparkling-burgundy-electric-guitar-1699 and $1599 + tax from https://slickdeals.net/f/18716521-backorder-gibson-les-paul-standard-60s-plain-top-electric-guitar-inverness-green-1599-free-shipping.

I bought 3 from another dealer with no tax for $1899/ea, brand new.

None of them were from MF/GC that are well known to sell floor models as new (their definition of "new" is something that hasn't been officially sold to anyone yet).

Lol that was your first mistake. Not doing research on companies. MF is basically Guitar Center and vice versa. They send you used guitars that were on the wall and played by others at the store. They likely got it off the wall and put it in a case, some random double boxes and shipped your way without inspecting anything. What makes it worse they probably got them in excellent condition and it got used a lot in store and never set up again or terrible condition and didnt bother checking them when they arrived to their store. Just put the price sticker and put it on the wall. Instead of inspecting and returning to Gibson to let them know their QC sucks.

Came across this knowledge when I had planned to buy a LP in 2023 from MF and I got a call from a random GC in Seattle saying if its cool if they ship it in a case that wasnt from Gibson cause they dont have any in stock. I cancelled my order then and there. Bought from Zzounds instead as they usually ship guitars sealed from pass experience. Couple years later i bought a Open box LP standard from SweetWater from here and it came as stated.

Dont blame Gibson. Next time research the retailer that sells them.

$50? Thats great deal for a setup.

That unfortunately hasnt been the price in NYC for like 10 years. Getting a setup here at any reputable Luthier ranges from $80-$100 depending if its at retail shop or their personal business.

Thats because MF is Guitar Center in disguise. They send you floor model crap off the wall instead of factory sealed axes.
