I'm here to highlight to you price differences of Gibson instruments & harbour no ill-intent towards the reputation of any dealers here. The objective is to provide a buyers' perspective to this nasty thing called procrastination. So OK, some of us are simply not in a position to buy when the price is right; believe me folks, it happened to me countless times. We have kids to feed, house to finance, car to maintain... stuff like that.
Starting off with the Gibson LP DC Junior Tribute model. The newer version is now $200 dearer. How to tell them apart? The revised model has its input jack relocated to the side.
Designer series - $100 more than before.
This one's a deal-breaker if you ask me - look at that price; the LP Jr is now beyond $2K. We understand that previously, it wasn't an Original Series designate & proved to be one of the most affordable, no-frills Gibson one could own. I got mine for less than $1.4K when it first appeared in the store.
Folks, this would also mean, after-market sellers can now flex more bargaining muscle citing the current price increase as a refusal to bring prices down. But hey, prices are gonna continue to climb & we are virtually powerless in letting this not happen. The real issue for many of us now - our damn pay isn't increasing as much as the prices of things around us. It's gonna stay this way seeing how the economy continues to crawl with the current spread of Corona Virus & all. Testing times ahead.

Don't bother with Gibbys, sub.
I rather get a mij equivalent.
So many gibbys on sale on carousel and no one's buying. 😂
Depends on the year of manufacture. Things are picking up in the Gibson camp 👍
