I really like - if I had to choose one id take all !

The one all the way to the right is like the best

So what’s being stated by sweetwater is that there will be 50 made with custom shop experience and braz boards fetching $50k. That’s right! $50k! Produced around Oct this yr.

Then they’ll make VOS. versions for cheaper. Produced around Jan 2023 I believe

At $50K, count me out. I'll stick with my 2019 Greenie clone.

That’s only a roughly $44,000 up charge over a standard R9 to get all the dents in the right place. Nice looking guitars though!

I agree 100%. Prior to the M2M program ( yes you could do a "factory order", but) you were limited to some degree. But now, for example, you dont have to pay $20k for a Duane Allman version 1. Simply spec you guitar as you want it. Instruct your selling dealer to request a top to your specs, the neck profile you want and color. You'll be well under $10k. Use the remaining $ to buy a vintage Marshall stack to complete the look........and still have some bucks to take your woman on a weekend getaway....!!!!!
Unless you absolutely, positively have to have that COA that reads _____________(insert the CC model name you want). For me its the look and feel. I don't need any artists name or signature on my guitar

I agree. At $20k? I’d probably buy one simply because I’d trade in 2 guitars which would offset the amount I need to buy it and I’d probably pay around $5-6k out of pocket for it. But at $50k? With $50 made? That’s just D.U.M.B!

The 58 KORINA Artisan model one offs were $30k and here you’ll have 50 non artisan; basically a ML with a braz board and you get to go to Gibson CS and meet corporate Gib execs and crap? No thanks.

At $50k it’s going to be quite hard to make profit on these even though they’ll be limited. But supposedly they’re already sold out which I have a hard time believing since they’ve not even announced a thing. Though 50 made I’m guessing it’s elite that bought them if so?

Darn right big time as the only signature guitars I own are Les Paul's .

There are many people out there with more money than they can chew… for them 50k is not a huge deal.
But yeah that is way too much for me

But most with more money than can chew, why buy imitation, and not the real deal? Kirk didn’t even pay a million for the damn thing. So in essence they could’ve probably bought it for half a mil. A copy? I can’t see this guitar EVER fetching $100k. It’d take 60yrs and a lot of inflation. But you’re right. Daddy left me an inheritance of $50mil and I’m going on stupid spree. I think I’ll buy a copy of a real Les paul made by Gibson for $50K but I DONT know how to play!

those look pretty sweet!

the closest I will get to that is pictured on my profile banner.
If you right click my banner pic & open in a new page you can see the similarity.

Oh look; here it is. LOL

To Gibson the $50k pricetag is worth it for the headlines alone.

And they'll all sell.

Worth it? No! Good for Gibson? Sure! They can redo pearly Gates and sell it for $80k. And all ML R9s will fetch $15-20K and if you can get BRW fingerboards? Auto $30k minimum. Gibby gone make her money!
