brad1 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I was at the Gibson store today and it looks like there has been a raise in the prices of their pickups. Most are 30 bucks more now than they were the other day. Just thought I'd mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
american cheez Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 darn i totally understand prices go up but $30 more dollars is more than what seems reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megafrog Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 But wait, the quality is so much better now that it costs more, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 But wait, the quality is so much better now that it costs, isn't it? but of course, why else would they even think or raising the price? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I can't imagine this will be good for sales now that they're the same price as fancy pants "boutique" pickups. I think many people will look for cheaper option, or for about the same price get fancy boutique pickups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 A few weeks ago I bought an older classic 57 for $20 locally, then this past eeekend I bought another for $30. On closer inspection this last one is a classic plus. A nice set of 57s for $50, can't beat that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megafrog Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 They raised the price due to the rosewood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 If the only pickup available was made by Lindy Fralin, I'd be fine with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I'd sure love to paint some of these CEO's homes. I'd charge them double the going price but they probably wouldn't care as they could afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
