pre-SALE (July 06) discussion: Gibson/ Epiphone

[XJAPAN]

Oh my... I think I'll be leaving my pocket filled till that day..

 

[RedCaster]

Hi Sub. Will my dream come true if I say like I am really interested in
- Gibson Lucille which is posted with $3,160
- Gibson SG '61 and standard with 2,800 and 2,240 respectively
- Gibson Lespaul Standard '50 with 3,840

Still the prices remain the same? If changed, could I know the exact (or approx.) price and the percentage discount because I have to prepare my pocket. Maybe 4.1k to get 2 of them (one for my friend) if 50% off is applied. Thank you so much.

hi there my friend...

if you obtain those prices from the dealer's homepage- they aren't the latest.

*Lucille isn't subject to 50% off (will let you know how much exactly, highly likely it's 40%)

*SG '61 (reissue)/ Std will be 50% off

*LP Std is currently $5K before disct, but will be 50% off come SALE

Hi there. I would be getting the epip les paul standard plus? The one which costs 800 b4 discount. I would like to know would it be a 50% discount?? Thanks dude. :wink:

NEWS

*Epi LP Custom not available in white
*Epi LP Black Beauty (3 humbuckers) available
*Epi Explorer Korina version available

all Epi models subject to 50% off unless otherwise stated

 

[buckethead17]

aww dammit no lp custom white...thx sub for checking anyway..do u recommend any other epiphone guitar???

 

[subversion]

i recommend you grab any well made, good sounding Epi Custom available on the sale day. the colour does not dictate playability & tone.

then again, there are many of us here who are particular about colours... well you might be missing out if you are too particular during a bargain period...

one more thing, Epi guitars do not come with a complementary hard case unless otherwise stated. if there are people here who claimed they got one upon purchase of an Epi LP Custom, for instance- that was during a promo period.

 

[buckethead17]

ok thx for the reply ... juz for the sake of asking would u prefer the zakk wylde lp or lp custom?

 

[DarknessFury]

What are the Epi set neck and flat top LPs which have the switch on the lower part of the body on sale?

ok thx for the reply ... juz for the sake of asking would u prefer the zakk wylde lp or lp custom?

i prefer ZW Epi:

1. i like the bare maple neck feel
2. superb pickups albeit being passive units

 

[subversion]

What are the Epi set neck and flat top LPs which have the switch on the lower part of the body on sale?

*Flying V
*Explorer
*Emily the strange SG

 

[DarknessFury]

Lol, no LPs?

 

[subversion]

there is:

Les Paul Std Doublecut

but it's not an Epi...

 

[DarknessFury]

Looks nice but expensive to me...but damn...it's not a flat top is it?

 

[subversion]

nope...

 

[gargamelesp]

if the standard is really going at 2.5k, am really contemplating on purchasing it. Just wondering whether the range available would be pre 2002 std's and whether they have the 60's neck option =)

 

[subversion]

apologies- the correct list price for the current Les Paul Std is $6K double cut version is $5K.

current batch of LP Stds are post-2002. proof: Burst Bucker pickups. 60s neck option available...

 

[RedCaster]

Sub, What are the usual prices of Gibson Lucille and SG '61 and standard?
Would you mind noticing me the prospected price after sales of them?

The price is quite highly raised and it's really important that I have to prepare my budget. Thank you very much.

 

[subversion]

it's not excessively raised. it's revised to reflect the american price tag.

 

[Macademia]
