Thundergod Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I wonder why Gibson hasn't started making these themselves, with Gibson on the headstock they would sell for 20 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I was wondering about these myself. I noticed that after they were sued by Gibson, they came out with new, non-patented guitar designs for this year. But I'm also seeing the old designs on the shelves in a different package. I thought maybe they were NOS. But now I'm thinking that maybe they are not. I was considering buying a few of the old guitar shapes, but around here they are $17 each.

Searcy Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 They're about $9 at Marshall's which is a sort of clearing house for last years good. I betting the settlement allows the toy makers to clear out their old stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I betting the settlement allows the toy makers to clear out their old stock. I saw them last night at Target for $17. That is why I'm wondering if they are actually NOS. I suppose they could be the last of the old run, but I would have thought that they would be out of them long ago, considering this all went down over the summer. I was also tempted to grab a couple of them. I have the "3-pup" snakeskin strat and a beige "tube" amp, which I didnt see at Target last night. I really want an SG, but didnt see those either. I should check out Marshalls. The wife likes to go there, so it shouldnt be to hard to get her to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That;s how I ended up there. If you squint real hard at the picture I posted you can see the $9.99 price on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Come to think of it, I am doing the stocking stuffer shopping this week. I'll have to make a stop at Marshalls...and get myself a bigger stocking while I'm at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Now there's a thought: Gibson sues WalMart F&W sues Gibson... Gibson sues WalMart... Do we have a hate triangle here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Why would Gibson sue Walmart? You mean WowWee? ...the company that makes Paper Jamz. Who is F&W? What did I miss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
