hi13ts Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I understand Gibson reads and heeds the words of us forum members at times. It also looks like the SG Standard price has stayed pretty low (1199 USD) for the past year or so and Gibson's using the SG Standard as the selling model. Maybe they should lower it even more as a special this coming Christmas season. I wouldn't mind picking up a SG Standard if the price was a bit lower. This "petition" maybe a waste of time (it probably is), but Gibson suprises us in subtle ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushview Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Who wouldn't. But if I remember rightly, all SGs came down about £100 a few months back, including the Standard. Bite the bullet and get one, if it's too much then use a dealer that offers 0% Finance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 l be If it stays at 1199 goes lower, I wil picking one up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Beach Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Fat chance they always raise prices for Christmas, everyone does. Gear is the cheaper in early January than it is any other time of the year. Not really sure why though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 with the Raw power, the gloss special, the classic, and other specials available, I doubt the SG standard price will be coming down. It hasn't been as low as it is now for a few years. I picked mine up at $1050... gotta love "scratch n' dent" returned merch! nothing wrong with it... just missing the case candy and had fingerprints all over it. also... there are TONs of great USED SG standards from the past 20 years available for 800 and under.

Murph Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I think they should bump the price up 10%, give the employees a 5% raise, and keep the lights on. Rock on Henry...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Why are they selling robots with all the features of a standard, plus the tronical stuff for less than a standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 yeah but I find it strange ......I just got a Raw Power new for $943. so I am thinking maybe should have gone with a robot...cause I could always transform it to a Standard if need be.......just gonna get me a 498T and I'll have it....screw all the unproven tronical gear they apear to be giving away.

Hillybilly Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Why are they selling robots with all the features of a standard' date=' plus the tronical stuff for less than a standard.[/quote'] because people buy the Standard. nobody bought the Robots, so they are rotting on the shelves and the dealers need to get rid of them.

eldiablo Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 They did drop the price this past April on the SG Standard by about 30% That's pretty huge. GC had them for $1649 one day and $1199 the next. I bet they moved a ton of them considering That's about the time Fender increased prices across the board. I picked up an Ebony Standard. IMO - Great deal at $1199 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
