They sell out quick. I own this one in black the humbucker version in white. Yamaha also makes Line 6 products. I also own the new Pacifica Standard Plus. It’s awesome too.

The parts were made overseas then assembled in America. Gibson kinda skated the line with these stamping them the made in USA. The Deluxe came with velvet brick pickups, cheap knock off bridge, tail piece, and tuners. These things are the perfect platform for upgrades. Love my 180 Deluxe!

I’ve had some really nice guitars through the decades. Played with a few well-known bands and a few years ago my dad died. He was a blues player in Chicago when he was younger and bought me my first guitar for my 8th. birthday. He taught me how to play it. I’ve had fun and traveled all over playing guitar. When dad died, I just gave up. I don’t know why really, I was just done with music now. Sold all my music gear and gave lots of it away to friends. A few years of moping around doing nothing in particular, I walked into a pawnshop and saw this Gibson Sonix 180 Deluxe for 600 bucks. I’ve never had a Gibson before and this hardly qualifies, but I said what the hell. Bought a cheap practice amp and strings. Hmmm… Your review of this guitar is spot on. A strange and fuzzy classic tone that doesn’t change much on either pickup. A good Boss equalizer helps a lot though. It’s probably the worst guitar I’ve ever had but I really like it. It’s the guitar I bought when I came out of my slump. Dad definitely approves. Thanks for the great video. Your deluxe sounds exactly like mine. Hmmm…

The thing is they are extremely plentiful, there is a lot of them, typically the regular Deluxe is favored by thrash metal and Punk rockers, but due to the cost the next tier of them unfortunately got robbed, alot of them were bought just so the Dirty Fingers pickups could be taken out of them, so the upper tier models you will find without the proper pickups, the body is heavy because its basically a little wood core with mostly resin, and as anyone thats ever played an Acrylic Resin guitar can tell you, they are heavy, They were very very cheap guitars, if you see them for sale only the top end model is really worth it from the years even then you would want either the deluxe for the genre or the upper tier models for the Pickups with coil split toggle. the regular Deluxe even in perfect condition don't pay over $800, for the upper end models $1500 would be top mark if everything is original and in perfect condition never pay over that. They are too plentiful and they were an oddity that no one wanted or actually uses, but if you were born early 80's this would make a great birthyear guitar as they are cheap.

I got a black one with polished aluminum pick guard. Bought it in 84 for $200.

Mines a silver deluxe lefty, love to know how rare that is.

Also Carlos Santana - YAMAHA SG2000

The satin desert sand finish with the maple neck and the antiqued hardware really makes it look very very nice. And the alnico 5 soapbars make it a true jazzmaster but with actual output compared to the old alnico 2 magnets

the first guitar I ever bought, in 1980....and I still have it, has its flaws but I LOVE it

Resinwood= sawdust mixed with resin and poured into a mold.

I wish Gibson made them again. I had one until it got stolen.

Cool! I have two Deluxes and an Artist. I really like them. The artist is a different beast though with a set neck and active electronics.

Lil Althea? 😊

This is a very cool video on a very cool guitar! I always liked these , Jimmy bower especially making me aware of them. I saw a silver burst custom once I wish I bought. Beautiful Guitars , perfect modding platform.

I have an FG830 and an LL6M ARE. They are amazing acoustic guitars,

I have this original 502T. IMO it's better than the Gen 2, with the silly switching system. I sanded the back of the neck down to bare wood and it's now one of the best playing and feeling guitars in my collection. I play it more than my 3K custom made Oswald Strat.

Love this guitar, love the Badmotorfinger shirt. First time viewer, but that's how I know this is a channel I can trust!

I have the RSP02T in gold crisp , and what a beautiful and powerful guitar it is! in every single aspect a guitar can be! I do not regret paying the xtra for the Japanese model, the craftsmanship is second to none, and I just can get over it. I stop playing the Gibsons and fenders for my Revstar.

Great review! I've got the surf green one and its become one of my favorites once I had a few QC issues fixed.

I had the chance to buy that exactly Sonex in Sam ash year ago , I tested for hours , crap guitar , the pick ups are nothing comparable with a studio or sg , I will prefer for that money go for a junior.

I love the first gen ones I have a collection.

Lovely guitars. Some loctite 242 for the posts and you're good to go. In due course, yep maybe better pots and switch on the lead circuit and if the need takes you then do the staytrem or stick in a set of 65's. But honestly out of the box with just the loctite they are good to go. Will it hold up live? Well, get over and see Chris Buck of Cardinal Black rock his standard 40th Anniversary for your answer. You can get this and mod it or you can pay twice the price for the MiM...and mod it.

Jamie Oliver plays guitar!

The Sonex 180 carried on the bolt on neck tradition from the Marauder and S3 guitars - but as you say made down to a price. The pickups were marketed as Gibson 'Velvet Bricks' and were I believe unique to this range. The 'Resinwood' body is essentially a sort of high density fibreboard and can have a tendency to develop cracks with age. You see these coming up on ebay etc for stupid money - you are way better off with an Epiphone Les Paul ... better made in every way!

Sounds like the strings on that guitar have been on it since the eighties. Playing was good but the guitar sounded flat. Enjoyed the video

Tune it throw on a bed itll go outa tune throw a regular LP on the bed its still in tune

Funny this video popped up in my feed because about a month ago I played one of these at my ridiculously overpriced local antique store and really enjoyed it. It had a fair amount of wear and they were asking $2,250 firm. I remember thinking no way someone will pay that but it actually did sell.

I have one. It was the guitar I learned to play on. I've had it since I was 15, and I'm 50 now. Great guitar for beginners. I've played every genre of music with it. It was good for all of them so I don't agree with it being a one trick pony. Most players have a pedal board and the guitar sounds great with pedals.

Sorta like the fender duo Sonic maybe. An entry level guitar.

I had one…it was decent, played a few gigs with it . Hey people are making guitars out of a lot of materials now…it works!
