Gibson Tribal V on Sale at Musicians Friend

[Artie Owl]

Hey guys I stumbled onto this on my twitter earlier today, I have no interest in a flying V right now, but it's marked down more than 50% off, so if you're in the market I might have done you a favour today.

Wow I guess I know why it's on sale then, maybe the mod squad could move this thread into the Firebirds, Explorers and V's section to get it out of the lounge?

[Gibson Artist]

I believe the reason few are biting is many probably think the guitar is overpriced to begin with and the V shape is not for everyone. Gibson has some oddly shaped guitars with the Explorer and V.

 

Im still dreaming of the day they stupid deal a Les Paul Studio for 450 ;)

I'm just trying to be helpful :(

AO - That's a good head's up. And I think the lounge is a good spot for this post. I gave you a + B)

 

A pretty good deal for a new Gibby.

 

Check the specs - Ebony Fretboard, 60's neck, tremolo, 496R/500T, hardshell case. $799.

I've heard complaints about this guitar going out of tune a lot due to the kahler tremolo and no locking nut. This one might have locking tuners but i'm not sure. It is a great deal for what you are getting. All Mahogony, Ebony Fretboard, Kahler Tremolo, and a hardshell case. It's a hard deal to pass up, the only thing stopping me are those tribals.

Ive not seen many guitars with Ebony fretboards nor tried one. The few i have seen were pretty expensive, is the wood considered rare for a guitar?

I wouldn't say rare on a guitar, but it's a bit more expensive. Some prefer ebony, some see no difference - I like it better than rosewood, but rosewood is fine. You find the ebony on some studios - ie: Alpine White and the Silverburst.

If I had the money, I would buy one today.

 

Thanks for posting

This V reminds me of this girl I used to really like. I saw her again at school a little while ago and she got a bunch of tattoos. All black tattoos. A big tribal one (I hate tribal tattoos) and other stuff... Now that she would totally go for me I don't want her anymore lol.

 

I'm really not a fan of tribal designs or pinstriping or flames or any of that stuff.

[Artie Owl]

Yeah I don't like Tribal either, but I figure for that much of a discount someone could just repaint it if they needed to.

[Jantha]

Dammit. I would snag one at that price if I had the money. I think they are cool enough.

[dem00n]

Needs a locking nut, one of the most stupid mistakes gibson made ever IMO.

It only has 1 humbucker, wonder how it sounds?

[Artie Owl]

I know a lot of people don't use twitter so if I see any other crazy Gibson deals I'll give you guys the heads up, that was a crazy deal for sure, too bad about it being the "tribal" though.

[sparky scott 29]

I too see that they are sold out already... Bummer..

[sparky scott 29]

How much were they anyways? It don't show the price being sold out. Just curious...

[Artie Owl]
