skippy Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Has there been a price drop on the Gibson Woody Guthrie model? Gibson now has it as MSLP as $3050.00, thats equal to the J45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarstrummer Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I saw that too and figured it had to be a mistake, since some Internet dealers are selling it for close to $3000 "street price". I checked with my local dealer who just received Gibson's new price list (effective February 1, 2009). He said the MSRP is now listed at $3008.00. He also had his price list from 2007 and the MSRP on that price list was $4226. We were wondering why the big drop in price. He noticed that there's now a notation next to the price indicating that it is an "improved design", whatever that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] it's funny - Woody Guthrie, the voice of the working man, the champion of the poor, the critic of capitalism, has a guitar with his name on it for sale that no workin' man can afford :D They raised the price of the Songwriter Deluxe by $1000, and looking at the differences, I don't see the extra $1000 - different fretboard inlays, different bridge, fancy binding maybe but same design, woods, and assembly. I saw that and got that nice warm feeling, went back and played my 2008 Songwriter some more. who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Actually a local chain in Canada is selling a new one for $2599.00 Canadian, roughly $3000.00 US. Last month this guitar was at par with the TV model in price here in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
