Let it B
Some killer deals. Les paul Trad @1400-ish jumped out at me.

Plus many are available on the 12 payment program.

Zzounds.com link to sale is on home page

Is this 40% off their usual retail, or 40% off of list, which they never use anyways? Big difference.
 
Re: PSA: 40% price drop on 60 gibson models @ zzounds.com

Its 40 percent off the normal selling price @ zzounds.

Just saw an SG standard for $780.

Unfortunately no ES models :( mostly Les Pauls and SGs.

If I weren't going for pricey dental work in a few days, I'd jump on the SG 50s. Damn my timing.

How can a SG be "50s tribute"?

Is it just me, or are the tuners missing in some of these pics?

Dont sweat it, long as the fretboard is on the same side as the pups and bridge, Gibson QC did their job and exceeded expectations already!

IIRC, that Future Tribute Les Paul has the same tuners that the 50th Anniversary Flying V had. They have knobs on the back of the headstock and instead of the peg rotating around, the peg moves in and out of the tuner to adjust the tension/pitch of it's string.

And thanks for posting this Jeff. It's very tempting, but so is the free MXR pedal offer that Guitar Center has right now. And the only way I could pay for the Gibson I want off that list is on payments, but I don't like payments, but I really want a Gibson Les Paul again......hmm.....

MF has some good deals on Gibsons right now too. Also, you can go through places like ebates and get 8% off, then get a coupon at MF by just asking one of their salespeople. So if you live in a non-internet tax state you could get 23% off something on a super lowered price. that'd be awesome.

The Firebird in white is so tempting but I already have and love my 70's tribute. Agh!

Steinberger gearless tuners. They were initially putting them on those GOTW guitars but then they jumped to Firebirds as standard, and now other models.
 
Re: PSA: 40% price drop on 60 gibson models @ zzounds.com

Firebirds are actually supposed to have banjo tuners, which are rear-facing. Now random rear-facing tuners are thrown around.

There is a Thunderbird IV bass these for $900. Not a bad price, but the pickups stink.

Still want to know whether that Midtown stuff is gloss or meh paint.
 
Re: PSA: 40% price drop on 60 gibson models @ zzounds.com

they updated the firebird this last year to get rid of the banjo tuners cause they were too heavy causing a buttload of neck dive.
 
Re: PSA: 40% price drop on 60 gibson models @ zzounds.com

I dont recall ever seeing all the cos doing year end blow outs on gibsons.. But Ive gotten emails from Sweetwater and wildwood running them at a nice discount. being broke is killing me!!! haha
 
Re: PSA: 40% price drop on 60 gibson models @ zzounds.com

Did it last year as well. Always at the financially worst point of the year for me.
 
Re: PSA: 40% price drop on 60 gibson models @ zzounds.com

Yeah last year they had it, and Fender dumped out the 2012 old style AVRIs. Made life hell.
