Gibson Custom Shop deal like what we did with Memphis!!

[Chi Musi Exchange David]

Jazz forum people! I want to let you know that we just did a massive deal with Gibson Custom Shop like what we did with Memphis! If you've wanted a Custom Shop (CS) LP, Special, V, Firebird, etc.....email me at [email protected] and I'll shoot you a list! This just happened and I wanted JF to ASAP!


EDIT: 2/4/18----Hi all, I wanted to update you all on the L5 CES...I posted this earlier but it doesn't seem to have updated here. We are in a holding pattern on L5 CES's....these are all handmade as you know and the allotment we believed we could get ,is not available at the moment. I sincerely apologize for this and hope you all will be understanding. I am working to get these in and will make sure JF hears first!

......has anyone seen the list yet ? Were the first rumors correct, about no archtops included ? I'd hate to bother CME if they're only going to have solid bodies.

Thx.

David,

Thanks for sharing the list. I would like to hear what L-5CE's you have coming in - the hollowbodies are my preference. I am in River Forest...

Why not just post the list, or put it up online and share a link?

I’m sorry, I’m not trying to be a wise guy but what is an L-5 CE?

[BigMikeinNJ]

Cutaway Electric (usually it also says S for Spanish)

[johnnytuinals]

There is a list on The Gear Page.
Lots of guitars but NO prices(yea need to call them}
Kinda sucks because I want the prices of all the guitars on the list and calling kinda sucks..........JT

[BigMikeinNJ]

Email the guy, the list he sent me has prices
Could be he could jam himself up posting prices online.
I could not successfully copy/paste the list.
Simply email the gentleman, he replied in minutes.

Thank You Sir...

[johnnytuinals]

I got the Email Prices
They seem kinda high from the ESs that we bought.
Yes I guess you do save a few dollars but would be better if there was another 15% off but
I would still pass...........JT

[BigMikeinNJ]

Theses are Custom Shop, big difference.
Not Memphis models. Big difference.




I’m out too
but for a different reason
just closed on this, been looking.

1940 L5, a player, priced accordingly.
my new porch guitar
I've dealt with the seller before, great guy.
Now to calm down enough to sleep.

[johnnytuinals]

I agree Memphis and Custom Shop are different.
Who would have thought that Memphis ES guitars would have been as low as they were{I bought 2}
But I would think the Custom Shop would have been atads lower in price then they are from the Email.
I would be thinking that the Gibson CS336 TV yellow would be a nice guitar for $2997 but at Sweetwater
they are at $4399 and the CME is not that great of a deal.(maybe another 15% off would seal the deal}..........JT

[2bornot2bop]

There's not a single L5CES on the list. Yet?

[GNAPPI]

I got the list, the selections are not what I'd be looking for but hopefully this goes well for CME and Gibson.

[Marty Grass]

I got the list, too. The prices certainly are discounted better than anywhere else you'll find out there. They just aren't discounted to the level of the Memphis floor models.

I'd like to see pics of the SG Custom in white. I don't know if I could resist that.

[ESCC]

Hey Big Mike, on that day when you realize you can only stand in a 4'x4' space in your home because guitars occupy every other square inch, I will be very interested to see which of your beautiful guitar(s) are going to be up for sale!

Dibs on at least 1 please. Email sent. Blonde L5 YES !

[BigMikeinNJ]

I had very briefly considered the Ron Wood L5S, then I found that '40 non cutaway
I think the reduction in prices is commensurate with the quality. These aren't floor models or so called blems like the Memphis models were... If you will. I will love seeing the blonde L5CES models our guys buy... They'll be something special I am sure. Best of luck to any of you that make the plunge !!!

While there were some blems in the Memphis blowout, there were also many perfect guitars. But that was a liquidation. This is just a sale. Good prices, but not great prices. I got the list and will pass on everything on the list. I am waiting on the L-5 pricing, but suspect that it will be too rich for my blood.

Will someone give an example of the type of discount you're seeing on new archtops that warrants excitement?

Keep in mind I just paid $5k for a never-owned, NOS 2016 L-5 Wes.

Nice score, so Jersey will sound a little sweeter on account of that buy !!!
Cool !!!

??? Did you see that on a new list? The list I received has scads of LP's, CS336's, and a couple of SG's, an L5S, etc. No archtops.
