Het grote Gibson-update topic

[Hotpepper01]

Ik zou niet weten wie daar wat mee opschiet....... Gibson komt met realistischer prijzen wellicht?

Nou, hopelijk de consument. Volgens het online artikeltje van Reverb kondigt Gibson lagere prijzen aan voor de 2016 lijn.

It seems the higher-ups at Gibson USA have finally heard the outcry of the guitar playing public over the 2015 model line-up. According to information recently made available, the classic American builder detailed a general lowering of prices for the 2016 models as well as an abandonment of 2015 design changes including the controversial G-Force automatic tuning systems.

The price points on the 2016 models will be roughly 20-25% lower than 2015, and comparable to the 2014 catalog. The Les Paul Standard is reported to carry a new price of $2799 while a new SG Standard will list for $1199.

In addition to the price reduction, Gibson is set to ditch such 2015 design updates as the Zero nut, Les Paul commemorative headstock inlay and the installation of automatic tuning machines on every guitar. The available models will be similar to that of 2012 including the reintroduction Faded finish guitars, the Explorer and Flying V Pro.

En dat is net zoiets als de prijs aan de pomp en de prijs van een vat olie.Als Gibson zijn prijzen verlaagd, dan hoop ik dat de prijs in de winkel overeenkomstig zal dalen.
