Not that I need another guitar, but at today's price of 1199.....hmmmm

Does anyone know the story on this? Gibson does not list it.

Looks to be a nicer Studio for a bit less. :hmm

I really like the blue color they are using on this run.

I think Gibson has done a commendable job this year putting out some nice guitars with attractive pricing. I see Fender doing the same with their American Special runs.

Guitar sales have been declining over the past few years so we may see even better pricing to come.

Snagged a 2012 Studio Deluxe ll in Iced Tea, with a '50s neck profile, and loving it.
Wondered if that specific color is the same as Honeyburst, or two different animals...?
Mine is spot on at 8lbs.
