BTD Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Anyone else notice that Gibson has already had a MAP price reduction on the new LP Studio Nitrous? It started at $1399, but AMS now has them at $1200, while Amazon(GearNutz) is $1100. Sweet water used to sell at least the Lime Green, but now they just have a picture that says they are not selling them any more. Anyone know why? Not selling well? It seems like it would have taken longer before giving up the higher MAP. Just curious what others have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic finish, great tone. I love it. I think it looks different because of the colors. Looks like this will be a limited run for Gibson. These are great value if you can get them. Putting on some straplocks, as Bluesy and I are going to rock out. Will send pics when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were selling them for $799 and they are all gone now. I almost bought the green one but was too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTD Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 I think the person that bought that last green one turned around and immediately put it on eBay and sold it for $899 plus shipping. The description said she had just bought it so if you did the buy it now, it would take a couple of days before she could ship it. I did not think it was going to sell but there was 1 bid in the last couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmm555 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Finally a 60’s profile neck LP studio, although missing a pickguard imo. Thought I’d like an orange one, but that green one, wow. Maybe we need more green guitars. Perhaps the model is too close spec-wise to the 2013 60’s studio. Two-tone sunburst seems kind of old news, so the Nitrous colors really pop. I welcome a price drop for whatever reason. It puts me in the guitar buying market, but with basically no product availability, count that one out. Maybe it Really is a limited production model never to be seen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTD Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 There are a couple of "new" ones on eBay right now. They want $899 for them, while they had purchased them from MF a week or so ago for $799 or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryo Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Looks like MF has green and orange ones coming in at $999. I really like my blue one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
