Idiot!
I agree the people running Gibson ARE idiots.
I don't think you watched the video.
Agreed!
I just bought the 2019 DC jr. It’s awesome.
Me to, its great.
This guy looks like Homer Simpson in that episode where he travels through a wormhole into the real world.
He also totally looks like that Hank Scorpio character.
You could have complained about the massive price increases for 2019...
i mean the junior price basically got halved
@@woooyeahfunkytime4088 The Junior is a good price, but it's not really a proper Junior in the traditional sense
When I was looking at the lineup, the prices seemed sensible compared to previous years, especially the Les Pauls
@@acornhead285 I'd buy if it was TV yellow
The LP standards sea foam green looks like my 2015 LP classic apart from the pickup covers. The 2019 would cost exactly three times what I paid for it. Glad I got this as a bargain.
I agree with you on the pick guard shape, 2018’s les Paul special in yellow was way more attractive (and cost more) BUT this new les Paul Junior is on £700 which means it’s probably the only Gibson I can actually afford haha.
I was trapped by this clickbait. This is why I hate this video. Honestly.
Thomas you were trapped?
Hi Ryan. Thanks for answering. I am not a lawyer but I think you are not lying with your title. You dislike the Gibson line because it is good. But when reading the title you make people assume that you don't like the product. You might do generate this wrong expectation intentionally, to get more views, because this is what content creators learned over the last years seems to work. Like naming it "5 reasons why Gibson 2019 line is great" or so. I am subscribed to your channel since some time and might have watched this video anyway with a more encouraging title that relates to the properties of the product. Sorry for the long text, which is too long for a short attention span. Also sorry for typos and similar stuff, I am not a native speaker but beeing trapped seems to be the right term. So anyway thanks for the nice quality content.
Thomas the title is meant to be humorous and sarcastic.
Ok this was my second guess because you seem to be a nice guy. Sorry then I appologize. Maybe you cought me on the wrong foot.
Thomas no worries ;-)
I disagree, I love the look of the Junior double cut.
I was taking a poop while watching this.
Same
Me too! Still am...
Am right now
THANKS for sharing! BTW I'm hungry!
Me too
folks will tell you that they buy Gibson for the tone and quality. I'm callin' em on a reality check. Take ANY new Gibson and sand off the logo. It is the same musical instrument, same tone, same quality. Now hang it in a store and see what some one will pay. the difference is what folks will pay for a Logo.
Gibson makes nice 900 dollar guitars. They give gobs of em away to influential players that are in the public eye. They then add that cost and charge other folks that 900 bucks making theirs cost 1800 bucks. That is how it works, whether, guitars, skateboards, purses or watches. (that Gibby bus and Mobile show room probably add a couple hundred on the price too)
It takes a rare guy to not give a damn about what folks think. We are all WEAK and seek other's approval. Take a Squier up on stage and realize, "why do I care what folks in this bar think" heck they are paying 5 bucks for 50 cents worth of alchohol, they obviously have their own problems..do I really care?
Deep down we know if we buy a Suhr or Warrior or Collins, our stupid friends won't recognize the logo and won't ooooh and ahhhhh, and deep down we are afraid they will NEVER ooh and ahh over our playing skills. fancy guitars are a security blanket for friends approval.
in the long run it is cheaper to get rid of those kinds of friends, buy cheap, beer, lots of squiers and epis and fish with a sub 100 dollar fly rod.
standswithfist806 hey brother! Hope your well in 2019! Just wanted to drop you a couple lines. Peace ✌🏻 have a Happy New Year and may your health remain very good! Dana E💫
Well said x
standswithfist806 I used to say that too back before I had a Gibson but boy did that change when I bought one, it far out exceeded my epips and sounds better then any guitar I’ve had through my amp so I call bullshit on that
I started playing a couple of years ago and would only buy squiers and epiphones because of all the thousands of of comments like this on youtube. Then I ordered a Gibson that was on sale and realized my epis and squiers and cheap ibanez were total SHIT. I'll be damned if I ever listen to what other people say again.
Gibson has to go back to the basics. They've been through enough with the bankruptcy this year. It's time for them to get back on their feet. Maybe this is what Gibson needs.
Give them a break, Ryan!
The $3400.00 price tag on the Les Paul is a pretty rough way to try recovering.
get a Studio; enjoy the results
Get an $400 Epiphone and put $400 into. Boom. Gibson quality with your own preferences to boot.
My comment was simply a way to avoid the $3K+ for the Traditional but I did have an Epi LP PlusTop Pro...for 28 days before returning it. It didnt help that Guitar Center was as close to useless as they could have been but the Epi was nice and had nice Pups...and looked nice...but needed a complete fret-leveling. I wanted to be someone who could say that the Epi is just as good as a Gibson, but I just cant. I got an '18 Studio and its just better out of the box. I know you can sink as much into, in my case, $600 Faux-Paul, as you want to make it better...but I didnt feel like it. The weak pots on the controls, a complete fret leveling, an actual set up, which GC just didnt seem to want to provide, a good nut (the plastic stock one is trash), the input jack is most likely low quality, and new locking tuners...at the least, would be necessary to make it a better guitar. If the Epi pups weren't what you wanted, they would need to be replaced as well.
I wanted to be someone who could say they did everything with their Epi that others did with their Gibson, but I honestly can't do it. I'd choose my Gibson Studio over the Epi every time, now that I know the difference.
Ryan, you're going full clickbait today with both videos.
CatPick Studios It is actually not clickbait
he really is telling us about why he hates the 2019 line up
Not Sosig Ramsey if you think about it, every thing on youtube is clickbait, who doesn't want clicks? if you aren't trying to get clicks what are you even doing?
Exercising freedom of speech without sacrificing your integrity and hopefully sharing meaningful, significant, or entertaining information.
60 Cycle Hum People like you are just annoying to watch ,listen to, Did you lose money in Gibson stock or what man? Did the CEO of Gibson sleep with your 16 year girlfriend, or fire you from your position there in the Nashville plantation or what dude. Your obnoxious manners are less than desirable. If you hate the way they do business, buy them out, what's left, and you see if you can run the company better. If you want to batter something, go to work for Popeye's or KFC, Long John Silvers. Yeah I know yada, yada yada. If ya hate them so much, why do ya own some of their guitars??? 🤔
Dana Everhart If you'd like to give us a blank check's worth of cash, we'd gladly buy out Gibson. - steve
All the reasons you pointed out on the pickguard of the Tribute Double Cut are all the eaxct opposite reasons I never bought one before. I love the new pickguard shape and will be buying one of those guitars.
Oh cmon. There’s plenty to laugh about just on the Les Paul standard.
the Les Paul standard is way out of touch IMO. that crazy switching alone....
Jared Gritzmaker Buy the Traditional then. Gibson have you covered. They also have covered people who want Jimmy Page switching + . And he’s a well renowned Gibson Les Paul user, right? One who lots of guitarists would like to sound like, right? Or maybe it’s a guitar for people who like to have a more flexible guitar with more sounds or for a bit of experimentation? Or perhaps just buy it (and pay a premium over the Traditional) and don’t use the switching?
It's not that we can't get what they want, it's the fact that they're not listening to a word of what the consumer wants. The typical Gibson fan wants to get a simple Les Paul or ES or SG in whatever color they want. They're doing the opposite of that, they're making insanely more technical guitars (branded as the STANDARD LES PAUL) and taking away colors. Compare the 2016 line (which was just about perfect) to what we have now. It's 100% fine that they're experimenting, what the problem is is that they're making those guitars the face of the company, and no one wants them. Make the Standard what we want, a simple Les Paul with modern conveniences in a decent array of colors (compared to the 2 on the Standard), and put the crazy experimental modern stuff in the High Power line.
ChandlerTV100 Oh yes... I absolutely remember everyone singing the praises of the 2016 line up! Lol.
To be fair one of the recurring criticisms (and one of the fairest in my view) of the last few years of the Gibson line up has been the huge numbers of colours for each model and the way those colours would be changed fundamentally every single year. Bear in mind that if a manufacturer has to make a model in so many different colours they are increasing production costs overall and running higher risks of stock sitting in stores unsold (which absolutely has happened these past few years to a large extent on some colours and leads to retailers having to discount at end of year - great for us, bad for retailers and the manufacturer).
So, this year Gibson have rationalised this. Good for them. The US factory range is not a custom shop facility. It’s not reasonable for buyers to expect to have every guitar available in exactly our colour preference! We should be able to buy a guitar in a colour we like. And looking at the 2019 range guess what we have? We have traditionally spec’d Les Paul Traditional in heritage cherry sunburst and tobacco burst... we have more forward-looking and experimental Les Paul Standard coming back in blueberry burst (a super popular colour from 2 years ago)... we have Les Paul Classic in goldtop and honeyburst... we have SG Standard in cherry or black...
So... hardly an assortment of crazy colour choices there then. If you want your own crazy or custom paint finish on a Gibson feel free to go to the Custom Shop and have it made for you... don’t expect Gibson on their production line instruments to give you a multitude of options and as a result negatively impact their business and competitiveness as they have done in the past.
Oh, and by the way, what’s crazily experimental in the 2019 range compared with the 2016 one? The addition of dip switches on the Les Paul Standard? The 2016 Standard T already had the push-pull switching on all 4 pots. Set the dip switches a certain way and the 2018 Les Paul Standard has exactly the same functionality. The 2018 Les Paul Traditional is actually now more traditional and less experimental than back in 2016... back then it had “traditional weight relief” (a total oxymoron by the way) and now it’s back to having none, so it’s a great choice for those wanting a Les Paul built the way they always were. Look properly at the 2019 range as a whole and there’s nothing crazily experimental about it, particularly not in comparison with the 2016 range that you seemed to think was so perfect.
I like the pickguard, and the guitar.
2019 DC Jr's are great guitars and not to be missed because 'pickguard'.
I disagree with the Jr breakdown. It's the first time i've ever considered buying a Jr because of the look and simplicity actually. And getting GREAT reviews!
Which do you think is better: the Les Paul Classic Custom Modern from the Modern Collection or the Les Paul Custom Modern Classic Traditional from the Original Collection? I think the Custom Les Paul Classic Custom is probably better than either one.
I absolutely fuckin love this video. Humorous, holds genuine criticism, and true.
*talk about Prices*
johnnymegabyte they are Gibson prices.
Still up there, but down like a couple hundred bucks on each model across the board
Regardless of brand, the prices are too high.
@@MrShadowofthewind no one complains about prs charging that though. Lol
@@kotymccallister5150 Prs is much more bang for buck though.
'Why I hate oxygen"
Sometimes, for the most part it works although it hasn't come out in dayglo green or pink versions but it still works pretty well.
I know this is kind of joking and all, but the new Gibson 2019 line-up is super boring. Red SG's. Come one. We've seen them. White, black, yes, thank you very much, but could we perhaps get a seafoam green/green metallic/olive SG or perhaps a Pelham Blue SG? Something other than *** **** red SG's.
Jesper Bøggild-Christensen
So when gibson will put out a green/fluo/sparkly Sg with tremolo and active pickup everybody will have something complain... I guess insulting gibson is like a trend this days.
@@pasqualevaccaro5506 it's trendy because gibson has become the Harley Davidson of guitars. A Les Paul should not be a status symbol, it should be a no frills musician's tool. $1300 for a basic gibson Les Paul is a frankly rediculous price.
Purple with black pickguard?
Irapotato made in the USA heirloom. I think that’s worth the price
Some people just don't have that kind of money to spend. I could see spending $1300 on a guitar if you make your living playing music, but in some cases the budget guitars would work just as well. I have a Cort guitar that's over 30 years old plays just fine. It's a (very well made) Les Paul copy, that I bought from a local pawnshop for cheap. Personally I'd prefer an Epiphone Les Paul but the Cort is all I could afford at the moment. I've never owned a Gibson ,but I never had the money for one either.
I do respectfully disagree as well. I understand where your coming from, but I looked at the positives here, particularly with this model. It’s beauty is in its simplicity, I think. And, you never mentioned the very affordable price of $800. Why didn’t you mention the LP with the physics professor explaining the over 500 combinations of tones, push pulls, circuit boards, etc. I thought the special was the shining light of the line-up. The pick-guard and the new routing was a good topic though. Certainly worthy of a conversation, but not as much as a deal breaker as long as it delivered the sound we would expect from a solid body and a P-90. Not a bad move in my opinion. For whatever it’s worth, that is. It’s priced right, and full of all the things I go for.....simplicity. Thanks!
while I completely agree that the pickguard leaves much to be desired, I am still excited about the new junior.
I disagree with you about the pickguard.
Haha. For once I don’t mind being click baited!! 😋 Finally someone talking sense about Gibson. Except for your comments about the Junior which looks really good and as you stated is about hitting a price point through top routing. 😃
They're finally listening to people.
Just Get a Vintage brand version for around $300.
And replaces all of the hardware, add Gibson's hardware and boom you got a Gibson sounding guitar.
As long as they keep on overpricing shoddily crafted and inconsistent quality sounding guitars, you should still have a lot to complain about this year :D
fuck you. I highly doubt your broke ass even owns a Gibson. Go back to the Crapiphone site.
I have a 2019 les paul classic and it’s built impeccably and sounds great.
The new gibson guitars are looking pretty good in opnion
I don't like how it costs $800 and they couldn't just put a poly-gloss finish on it. I fucking hate their satin finishes. They're better off just oil rubbed. It does nothing to protect the guitar.
I don't like how they keep jacking the prices. 2017 you could get a gold top tribute for $800, and now the cheapest LP is $1200. It's insane.
The problem is that all the guitars that can be made, have already been made and there is no need for further evolution. So then they have to reissue older versions at higher prices to prove how great those guitars were when compared to the toys they make today.
Actually the Les Paul juniors DC tribute has clean pickup routes. And is routers for 2 pickups and will fit hummbuckers. I think a different pick guard style would have been better. Maybe a modified batwing. It would have been staying true to the Gibson styling. But it happened this way. Not sure how they see it as cost effective to do a top route. It takes more time and retooling to make it happen. So not real effective. But the routes for the pickups themselves makes it a more versatile instrument. You can buy a pick guard and put whatever pickups you want in it. And basically just swap it out. I do think they should have put an intonatable bridge on it. The wrap lightning bar tailpiece isn't real great. It's close. But not quite there. And the neck should have been mahogany, not maple.
One plus for the pick guard on the LPJ is that you're not stuck with the pickup at one height. Meaning that the strings don't chew up the pickup cover which is the issue I've always seen with guitars in this style.
I'm so happy that they brought back the 61' SG that i really don't care much about anything else
Luis Coll isn’t that the same guitar as the 2018 standard, but $400 USD more?
Nope, compare the contouring on both of them, the 2018 standard isn't as curvy as the 61' is... I know it might seem dumb, but to me it looks waaaaay better, i hated the 2018 because of its borders being too "squared" (more like a 70's SG)
Mhmmm, yeah I guess I do see it now. It’s hard to tell looking at pics, but the website says “period correct body sculpting” or something.... it does look less symmetrical than the others. That’s pretty cool. I still feel quite lucky I bought my 17 SG standard with the 57 classic PUPs brand new for $800.
Woah hahaha you got a super nice deal man! I've never owned an SG, but that miiight change with this 61' Standard coming up
I've got an '87 61 reissue I will sell ya
I agree, the pickgaurd is uglier. These guitars are under $600 at guitar center right now, so I bought the bass. For the price my new bass is spectacular. I love how no routing on the back saved me $400.
Saw a video of a guy hating on the standard having the Jimmy Page style push/pull pots. Said the standard should be exactly how the standards were in the late 50s. He even acknowledged the traditional being that. It was like he just wanted to complain for the sake of complaining. It was sad.
Theyre giving you nothin’? How about the 4 push pull pots complete with dipswitch backside? I laughed at the prices. Laughed myself right out of the store.
I have to respectfully disagree Ryan. I think it looks very retro funky cool. Kind of like the Pawn Shop series from Fender. Also I like the strap button placement, much better spot than the back of the guitar. If I didn’t already own a Les Paul Junior DC copy I would think about picking this one up. However one complaint, No TV Yellow. Come on Gibson that’s one of your coolest colors!
Bro.. 😡 my 2019 sg standard tribute is amazing
The thing I've seen people complain about is for one the prices....
But the main thing is that the new Les Paul standard has alot of complex wiring dip systems coil split etc making it difficult to swap.oug pick ups or a major ass ache.
So no dude it's not just the shapes...... It's much more than that
That's hilarious. I love this new Tribute DC, probably because it looks similar to the P Bass pickguard.
I think we should be furious over the fact that they still haven't brought back the blanket cover in the hard cases. You know, that flappy thing that sometimes got in the way when you closed the case. It was bad enough when they changed from the soft poodle-fur blanket to the satiny one, but come on Gibson, bring back that somewhat useful/somewhat annoying blanket.
The nice thing about Gibson is they have already given us a lifetime of things to make fun of. I get all misty eyed when I look at my Firebird X and the Les Paul studio monitors sitting on my desk and all the other misfit Gibson products.
I've been reading comments through all the years stating that Gibson should just keep doing what they do right, and people want: classic looking guitars with classic designs (LP, SG's and ES) that always are on demand. MAYBE that's what they're trying, but some innovations will come, or should, but also the LP's some unique finishes.
Now, about the LP Jr... I love Jrs, I always have but yeah, I agree with Ryan here. That's quite an odd design, for me at least. I like the price point, that's the price standard Junior's should sell for in my opinion. Maybe a different pickguard design... I don't know.
But this is just a nobody's point of view.
Regarding the junior double cut: I love the look of that pickguard. Though I might skip it if I found one today because I do think I need a more traditional TV Yellow and the more traditional drip looking pickguard. Put I love this particular 2019 one.
I think the new Les Paul jr Double Cut looks better.. I get that it is more cost effective and that is why they have done it, but to me it looks super classy
Yeah, it's likely is easier and cheaper to build, i don't mind that, Gibson needs all the help they can get.
It's stripped down, basic, and simple. One P-90, One Volume and One Tone. I'm not a Gibson fan at all but i do think it's an attractive guitar, just plug it in and rock the fuck out. I Respect it, they listened.
I don't disagree on the pick guard, but would probably never thought anything of it, had you not said something.
The double cut is slick....but I would like to see a bridge and neck P90 soapbox and in TV yellow option.
Why are so many people disliking this its not clickbait
Fewer guitars are nice but I'd love a red Les Paul Junior single cut too.
I'm not sure 'way less guitars' really matters all that much; I'd rather they offer 10 high quality models vs. 100 unnecessary/crappy ones. I keep thinking they should take a page from boutique luthiers (i.e. Collings) and offer broad customization options and get away from the 'lifestyle' brand direction they were headed in.
You apparently didn’t watch the NASA tutorial on the new Les Paul Standard that is no longer a traditional Les Paul Standard anymore.
i agree on the ugly pick guard but... I like the new control locations - better for fast volume adjustments.
What's even worse about that so-called jr is that they're taking the piss with the price.
When they're selling BFG's and other instruments with an obviously higher construction cost for less, it shows that they're doing their best to fuck us punters over.
My dog just cut one, again. I don't like that pick guard either. The 2020 is little better because they moved the jack to the side, but then of course they jacked up the price, again. Gibson's price hikes are about as inevitable and unwelcome as my dog's flatulence.
The prices. Over 3k for a Les Paul Standard - $1700 for a Les Paul Studio. These idiots just don't get it. They need to lower the prices.
Funny bastard. . . I see ya but I actually finally bought my first Gibson today. AND IT"S A 2019! SG Special. I've been wanting a P-90s SG for a long time. Bound neck, hard case. I fell for the faded pelham blue. Nice vintage vibe. Too many cherries out there for me...... Don't get me wrong, I like cherries. The Les Paul line is weird. Cheers.
Dude, make a video and show off that blue SG behind you. That thing is GORGEOUS
Here you go ua-cam.com/video/KznZp97rdms/v-deo.html
I don't like the PG either, but I just bought one. $799 is damn cheap for US made Gibson. So, I had Sweetwater install Grover locking tuners and bone nut to upgrade it a bit.
I hate myself for clicking on this video. I am now dumber for having watched it, award myself no points, and may god have mercy on my soul.
Totally agree about the double cut jr. Why can't they make the original one.
Talk about Fender and their ridiculous line of Strats. Elite, professional, standard, hybrid.... the list goes on and on
I see nothing wrong with the new Doublecut Junior, as a matter of fact I like the pickguard...I might buy one...
The Traditional should be called the Standard, because the Standard should be the guitar that made players love them, and all the modern weight relief and push pull should be called the modern, that is all!
glad to know im not the only one picky about pick guards i hate the small pick guard for the sg on the 2018 standard other than that my only complaint about Gibson is the price but hey you get what you pay for
I don’t give a shit about new guitars I just want a price reduction so I can die happy one day.
Guitar UA-camrs only know 3 things, 1 Buying a ton of guitars, 2 Bitching about guitars, 3 Telling me what my feelings are about a certain guitar or piece of gear. When they have never actually asked me.
I really like the new Jr's pickguard shape, but I agree - the new line is concise, consistent, and sensible, while the new Jr is a great new direction for their simple, low-budget designs. I hope this is a sign of things to come from Gibson.
the thing I'm desperate for is an SG with two dog ears, or what about a like a line of ES Studio stuff so we have an alternate to Epiphones?
im a little miffed about the lp standard having the fancy wiring, and just those two colors. no heritage cherry or vintage/tobaco burst? but otherwise i'm down. I also understand the traditional fills that roll..but still
they changed the pickguard to save money. Corner cutting just like always. You can pre-assemble it and drop it in later, and it means less sanding and hand work.
The name "Les Paul Standard" doesn't appear to mean anything in particular any more, and now it seems they've tilted right around and are chasing PRS' cues even though 20 years ago it was PRS being accused of chasing them.
Good Gibson’s are a big investment.
And worth saving up for.
My advice to the youth would be to start with a few cheap gitters and try to establish a sense of what you like and then sell all the garbage at once and buy one pricey version of your favourite. And then play it hard and frequently.
That's not reality. Who in the heck buys just one. Bahahaha. Buy many my little kiddies. Don't sell the crap so you can remember where you came from 😂
Hey bro what kind of SG is that baby blue metallic one behind you on your right side!? That thing looks badass
The controls on the 2019 les paul standard are ridiculous though
Great line this year Gibson! My only complaint this year is the Richlite fretboards on $3k+ guitars. I support the Richlite use on many guitars generally BUT not up in that price point.
I hate that they missed the oportunity to reissue the 59’ melody maker, but guess the epi LP SL renders that possibility to zero.
Not a huge fan of the pick guard either, but i played one in a guitar center and it was glorious.
No one on these videos has noticed that Gibson are coping yamaha. I owe the Revstar rs720b. A fine guitar, at a very very decent price. Gibson are over priced. Revstar are a SG shape, jumbo frets, push pull pots. They came out in 2016. The full sound sounds more Gibson than a Gibson. The strat sound is more gretsch. They play amazing. No set up needed. A 500 pound guitar that's a million dollars
Nothing about dipswitches? You know, those new features in the back of the LP that take less than 25 minutes to switch positions and make your LP sound either like a LP, a strat, a PRS, a tele, a violin or my grandmother's buttocks...
Lovin the new junior
It's really was a great modding platform rather then BJA new junior.
Eventho I had previous BJA jr the new one really was overpriced.
I like the double cut. Should be a different color though.
Came here from a twooba video lol
Nice gibbon
i still hate the pickguard design on the 2019 gibbons.
When Gibson put the input jacks on the scratch plates, before. The scratch plates broke from the constant in and out of the plugs.
Agree 100% on the DC juniors. So much wasted effort on a guitar that should have been a reissue of a classic.
I still think 2016's lineup takes some beating (it was better priced than this year's too), and I own two 2016 Les Pauls so won't be buying another, but it's definitely a nice lineup of guitars. Might consider an SG or a V if I can get a good deal in the Spring.
The les Paul with 800 dipswitches in it is in keeping with modern Gibson goofiness
The only 2019 gibson that i like is the Gibson Les Paul Jr singlecut.
Every year there is something to complain about... in most cases who complains doesn’t have the money to buy one anyway..
I think the pick guard on that Gibson Les Paul Jr. DC looks cool.
Looks like PRS is getting to them, design-wise.
They're chasing PRS with some of their new ideas now. They even have a trampas green rip off finish on the LP they're fitting their taps and switches to.
They're going completely the wrong way about it, an LP should be flat out just an LP, leave the chameleon switching and stuff to PRS
60's is the best guitar in the world now...
love the new double cut
Don't like the pickguard. they definitely made it cover the controls and the pickup so they don't have to flip it over in the cnc machine and make it $800
So, Have you played anew Gibson lately? I did yesterday.It was amazing! I have owned vintage and modern.The Explorer I played was like silk with gobs of classic tone.WTF more do you need?
I got that two pick up version of that guitar. It was my first Gibson. Love that thing man it’s great
you can make fun of the price. what theyre calling a standard now is $3,399 and a traditional is $2,799. no guitar is worth over $1,000 imo
Gibson AND Epiphone also have the Moderne available......about time!!!!
The double cut special just looks like a grabber bass...bass players love them so I'd be interested in trying!. I dont like the wrap around bridge tho!
