Pinch Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 "Pneuma" is a good song. The title track was pretty good too. Can't say I'm a fan of their earlier stuff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they have another mansion in Florida. That's where the kids are now visiting Mom & Dad. They just live off interest. Interest is almost nothing! $1,000,000 X 1%yr. = $10,000yr.…. $10,000,000 X 1% = $100,000yr.. You ain’t living like a King on that! Hope they don’t have payments on those Houses!

When he worked, he owned shrimping farms all over the world and got his product to places much faster and fresh. We have no idea what he is worth. Millions or billions? We have been in his home in Chicago and the one in Michigan. He would make the Clampets on Beverly Hillbillies look like poor folk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGLPFB_Lover Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 I don’t mind the higher prices for the mainline. $2100 for an SG with trem or vibrola, or $2600 for a Standard isnt too terrible—// BUT, i my whole point was that I wished Gibson would keep connections to the other part of their base who cant necessarily afford that range. A $999 range is that market I wish they’d expand on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More down to earth like most people. His wife does seem to flaunt it. She will fly all 3 of their daughters up where they live, Rent out the dress shop for the day where only them have access to that store. Then shop and try on everything they want. She flips the entire bill, including airfare to and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A $999 range is that market I wish they’d expand on. Gibson are well aware that the hobby market is the one to take seriously. They try to make models at different price points but know the upper end will always look more desirable. The collectors are a growing market I think, and the hobbyists are certainly morphing into them (we mostly all have a bunch of guitars now right?). There seem to be plenty of models in the price range you prefer. Maybe they should expand that range. It might even be the best move.. Pro players are a drop in the ocean. The only use Gibson have for them is as endorsees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only buy used now so at least my money doesn't go to Chris. Good point. The last Gibson I bought was used, and that guitar is flawless, so I'm very happy with it. Lots of great used guitars on the market these days. So much so that if I was in the market for a new guitar I would buy it used, but only if I could see and test it first.

What if you re-sell and make a profit? Which doesn't always happen, but that is what we hope for when we get them. If you happen to have bought that '59 LP or that D-28 that was made before '69, or so, and is made of Braz RW, you can just about name your price for what you want for it.

Here’s the way I look at it. if I sell a guitar, and I lose $150 on it, and if I’ve had it for 4 years, I basically rented that guitar for four years for only $150. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
