gibsonchiq Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) i live close to bozeman and i was curious if it was possible to go up there and buy guitars direct from the factory or if they had an official gibson showroom full of badass guitars or if there was a tour you can sign up for etc I searched on google and as of 3 years ago the answer is no to both. but its been 3 years so i thought id ask. i called gibson bozeman as well but nobody picked up the phone Edited April 18 by gibsonchiq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 You can go to Gibson's site, and they sell those ones from the Mod Shop right online. Not sure if they are coming right from the factory or not. Those are electrics and not acoustics. I have no clue if Boz does tours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually you can get better deals from Stores like Sweetwater, MF or others.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I've read here that Music Villa in Bozeman is as close to a Factory Outlet as you might get. People who have gone for Forum Organized FactoryTours seemed to gather there and many made purchases of exclusive Gibson acoustics while there. Don't know if those Forum Member Tours are still organized - they weren't 'sponsored' by Gibson, or anyone afaik. G'Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimt Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) I dont think you can buy direct from Gibson Bozeman. Talk to Gibson Bozeman , they may direct you to a dealer. Edited April 21 by slimt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 The person who was the main driving force behind the Gibson Homecomings was known here as Guitarstrummer. Love him or hate him, he did a good job of organizing the events. I went in 2007, haven’t gone back, but I’m just not one to travel. Guitarstrummer passed away around 2015 I think. I have no idea if there has been any Homecoming events in the past X number of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovadelic Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I've seen that the new Bozeman factory has a showroom for visitors, but nothing for sale. The only place where you can buy direct is the Nashville store, Gibson Garage. They have a ton of new Gibsons direct from the Nashville and Bozeman factories.

Any idea what they’ll negotiate in price? 15-20% or ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
