Gibson 2 Year Limited Factory Warranty (Playability only) They state that the instruments are pre-owned by notable musicians, so they might not warrantee them for too much. But they've got that magic Pixie Dust on them, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited)  There is a video on the Demo Shop . According to what they are saying most of the guitars are new but did not pass a final inspection. For whatever reason Gibson did not think it worth their while to fix them so they would  have spent the rest of their existence being warehoused or possibly scrapped.   So pretty much the same as selling "Seconds." Assuming the flaws are mostly minor good prices on them.

How are you seeing 6 when I go on your link and it says nada? Are you branching off onto another thread?

Boyd Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Could be. Here's a link to a specific guitar on that page, does it work for you? Anyway, if you aren't in the US, would it make sense to buy one of these considering shipping and import costs/issues? https://reverb.com/item/41432783-gibson-j-45-studio-rosewood-rosewood-burst-demo  Edited June 26, 2021 by Boyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else here said it didn't show on a European site so I wonder if there's a filter or something for outside the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyd Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 If that link worked, I doubt that your location has anything to do with it. Again.... try a different browser, I have seen this exact same kind of thing happen with people here in my area unable to view certain sites. You can use Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Opera on Windows or Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari on the Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Okay...I just went on the page and changed my location from Canada to The States and, behold, a whole raft of guitars appeared. They've put me on a different aspect than anyone from America would be.I've dealt with Reverb and they automatically adjust prices to Can. $'s so it's a geographic filter.

Sgt. Pepper Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Try going on to Reverbs site and just type in Gibson Demo Shop. Both acoustic and electrics will come up and then on the left you can narrow it down to what you want to look at. That was how I originally did it and then copied and pasted the link in my first post. But then again I'm in America with American internet. Edited June 26, 2021 by Sgt.

We will also sell you our Demo's that are still expensive but we can't sell them as new, but we still make a buck off of them. Edited June 26, 2021 by Sgt.

Sgt. Pepper Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) I just looked on Reverbs site and on the upper right of the site there is a multi-colored flag flying off the the "B" of the word Reverb. Any one have an idea what that is about? Maybe it is just on the American site? Edited June 26, 2021 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard McCoy Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) It's important to remember that Gibson's Reverb shop ships to only the continental United States. If you see zero listings, that's why—simply switch the "Ship To" dropdown menu to the "Continental U.S." As for the offers in the shop themselves, I think they're a steal especially if you're looking for something a little out of the ordinary. And electric guitar lovers will find unique guitars there (even prototypes), which is why the main of the inventory is usually scooped up shortly after posting.
