PatriotsBiker 64 Report post Posted October 20, 2019 I'm a year away from getting a Gibson ES of some sort, so not an urgent question by any stretch. That said, I'm still curious to know what makes this new guitar a $10k guitar? Did I miss something in the specs? I see a sub - $6k guitar, which is still not a shabby zip-code to reside.

bobouz 218 Report post Posted October 20, 2019 Byrdland short-scale vibe? Chuck Berry connection? Not worth anywhere near the asking price, imho. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thornev 9 Report post Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Not worth it. There's nothing special about that guitar except maybe the maple top. Everything else, as far as I know, and I'm guessing, is electronics you can get in any other Gibson guitar. They're praying on people who don't know any better is my guess. For that money you can buy an original ES350T with PAFs that smokes. I know - I've got a 1957 ES350T. Shame on Gibson.

Twang Gang 394 Report post Posted October 21, 2019 I think the guitar is worth maybe $3000, but the replica "Zuni Bolo Tie" must be what bumps it up to $10,000.🤣 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck Berry ES-350T $6k is EXACTLY what I was thinking when I looked at the catalog on Friday. That is one quality git but $10k? In your dreams James Curleigh!

SteveFord 534 Report post Posted October 22, 2019 I missed the "Zuni Bolo Tie" extra. Take my pennies and make me happy!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kidblast 1,338 Report post Posted October 22, 2019 Absurd, bet they sell a lot of those... not... then again that does look close to a brydland and they've always been stupidly expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
