Good thing I bought my LP last July.

Yeah I've got no plans to buy any new Gibsons. I'm good, thanks.

Is that a no to the plectrum..?

It sounds like Customs are still ok. But adding robot tuners to every Standard??

You know, as sacrilegious and ugly as the e-tune thingamajig is, it works really well.

Thank goodness they're finally raising prices! Last year's models were so undervalued

Honestly though, I love my Gibson. It's been a friend indeed for many years now. But goddamn I'm glad that I don't have to replace it anytime soon.

That's how I feel. I have a couple relatively modern Gibsons that I really enjoy, I don't feel like I overpaid for them, but I'll be damned if I'd pay 25% more.

I had a less Paul studio with Seymore Duncan 1959 PAF clones.

I sold it to a close friend for $500 (same price I paid for it).
He said he would sell it back to me for the same $500 of I ever wanted it back.

Might not be a bad idea to buy it back with price hikes on new ones.
