Gibson Billy Gibbons Pearly Gates
It has arrived. The Gibson Billy Gibbons Pearly Gates Limited Edition Les Paul Standard (or as I like to call it - GB GP GLELPS for short lol) is now available.
Sure, it's another relic'd guitar. But this is one I want. i mean, FFS, it's Billy Gibbons. Sure its probably going to cost about $8000, and at least you have the option to go with a non-relic'd version, which is a good thing.
EDIT - ok Gibson,. This is a fucking joke. When I put that price up before, I was kidding. Exaggerating. Obviously not enough. Here are the released prices:
Billy Gibbons Burst
Aged by Tom Murphy, Signed by Billy Gibbons
$25,882
Billy Gibbons Burst
Aged by Tom Murphy
$15,294
Billy Gibbons Burst
Vintage Original Spec
$11,176
If you want to know why I think relics should die, now you know why. You now pay a different price depending on who fucks up the finish????
Gibson... this is possibly the final straw. You have broken my heart and spirit one too many times with this. Lets have a look at some of the comments on the actual product page on the Gibson site:
Welcome to Gibson's Theater of the Absurd!!! I'm speechless
"Now you can own it" ??? WHO ??? collectors who will never use it ??? not the average working musician you need to revamp your prices other wise you will price your company right outa business !!! unbelievable
I'm a 51 year old Detroit autoworker who only made a tiny fraction of what the press and the Repuiblicans said I was making. I was only making $14.40/hr at Ford. Not $28 or $70! Because of southern Republican lies, I'm out of work. Now Gibson (from Tennessee y'all) keeps rubbing these damn $15k guitars in my face! Who cares if this guitar is pretty y'all? Y'all gotta realize elitist jerks like y'all caused the worst recession since 1929, y'all, and y'll gotta realize that y'all can't squeeze blood out of a turnip, y'all.
10k for a signature ? Should throw in a hooker for that amount or at least a meet & greet , how about some coupons , Hah!
You've got to be kidding. 11K to 25K???? $500 in wood and wire. Obscene scam artists selling their only decent guitars to lawyers and dentists. What about the guys who actually play. You know....musicians. We got no bread.
Looks like I'm not alone....
