Nice.. What did you go for?   Those single pup DCs are awfully tempting at that price aren't they  🙂

I got a LP special tribute DC with two P-90s. I cannot believe the prices are so low, like35% below list price. I've never before played a P-90 guitar, so this will be something for the history books. 🙂

Very nice!  Pictures?

OK, but it will take a few days till it gets here. Then another few days, till I emerge from the bunker. 😄

We seem to have enough over here that they are doing clearance sales

Thanx for this, I actually bought one. The thinking goes "If I can't have all of the Gibsons, then I'll at least try to get some of them". 🙂

It's a 2012 Ibanez AR420 VLS in Tobacco-Burst.

Got it on Reverb with a brand new HSC for $450.  Super Happy with it.  Those 3-tone switches are pretty cool.

I've been looking at these for a long time. Aesthetically, I have always admired them. The finish is great, and I like the abalone inlays also. But I have to say, this thing is built very solid. The p/u switch and the two  3-tone switches are very good switches. You can tell they are solidly built and work very well for a 8 year old guitar. There is tarnish on the gold plating, but that does not bother me (like it does some folks). You can really get a lot of great tones with this guitar.

Beautiful guitar!
PS. Checked it on the Ibanez website, those 2 switches do wonders.

The proper word here is ENCHANTING.
I bet it sounds & plays just as great as it looks!

I loved the jetsons, it was just a futuristic version of the flintstones.

I have pictures of other styles as well.

 I love firebirds and explorers particularly a non reverse firebird, there just a jazzmaster at heart 

I saw the blue 335 (?) and dropped my jaw. That one, I adore! #superior_craftsmanship

That was the whole idea of the Explorer, V, and Fird. Look futuristic.

Sadly, I am prolly not old enough to remember. Learned all about The Jetsons on the Cartoon Channel. 😄

I personally am not a fan of Firebirds (they remind me of "The Jetsons"), but do like all guitars in general, especially if they have been taken care-of. Bet those 3 above all have distinct and great sound, so I have to give 10 points! 😎

I got one of those this week.  It passed three days of gig tests, which amounts to having it on with everything on 10 for 6 hours or so and listening to it.  QUIET.  Consistently quiet from hour 1 to turn off.  No pops, sizzles, hisses, or snaps.

Wow, great review! #FenderToneMaster
I never even look at "hissers" and random-noise generators. Music is about purity of expression. The only imperfection being tolerated is in the form of (rythmical, tonal, etc.) improvisation of the artist, not the paraphernalia. 🙂

I wanted a new ES-335 Cherry... and guess what? No shop in the world has any in stock. Also, they do not know when they'll be available for shipping. Tried  these: Guitarcenter, Sweetwater, Thomann (Germany), Andertons (UK). Prolly some others too. I did put an order with my local dealer, he says waiting time will be like 2-4 months.

Does anyone know, if the factory is operating, or is it still under lockdown? HELP! 🤠

(Of course I support all precautionary measures, safety of Gibson workers is first!)
