So yes there not 3k, but close. Not sure how much the price comes down without electronics, $250 maybe not sure. 47 minutes ago, mmukav said: @slimt--Gibson j45 standard--$2,749.00. $2800 with tax. Close enough to $3000 for me..... Here's a hint, fellas- if you paid the price that's marked on the tag- you overpaid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to live where tax on somthing $2749 is $51. What is that less than 2 cents tax on every dollar. I'm not math major so I could be wrong. Edited January 5, 2020 by Sgt.

And actually, there's your $3000, almost... I'm done with this thread. Too squirrelly for me..... Come on its fun to push the J-45 guys. So far Leonard McCoy has the quote of the thread.

fortyearspickn Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 GC currently has 77 different Gibson acoustic models on their site. 41 are less than $3,000 - that seeming to be the 'magic number'. ( Tax is irrelevant to the discussion - it varies depending on where you live, goes to politicians, Gibson can't control it and can't cut costs to compensate for it.) One way to save the trees is to buy Carbon Fibre Guitars. Sadly, they aren't below The Magic Number either. But - if you want a 'name brand' - you can get a Martin for $300. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvi Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 above 2000 is steep and Im sure with all the magic machines gibson has they could sell j 45s for one third of what they do, gas could be cheaper too but companies gouge cause they can...
