Guitar Prices Rolling Back?

Some companies are starting to roll back prices on guitars and amps. Is this just a spring fling or are we going to return to pre pandemic prices now that everyone isn't gear crazy.

[@kravitz1999]

Sam Ash sale, Gibson Les Paul 50's, was $2999, now $2799. Same guitar from Gibson, Sweetwater $2799. So they "slashed" prices to the normal price, No wonder they are going out of business

[@jessefillmore]

Sad thing is Sam Ash has to price these at that cause Gibson gives no room for profit . Gibson and Fender are cruel to retailers . I did get a Marshall Studio Vintage 20 watt for cost . GC priced match Sam Ash a month ago . The GC rep said "WOW , they must be going out of business , thats what we pay for them " . $999 for the Amp and $699 for the cab .

[@blues62751]

Fender needs to slash prices on their gear, too. Fender 65 Deluxe tube amp is $1700. That’s insane! We all need to stand together and boycott these price hikes. 🎸🎹🥁

[@honkytonkinson9787]

I was able to get a tweed vibrolux built by a local shop for less than that, all hand wired point to point with some high end caps and tubes The Fender custom shop amps are overpriced too!

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

Adjusted for inflation Gibson and Fender guitars and amps in 2024 only cost a few dollars more than they did in the 50s/60s. An average working stiff's monthly income. Focus ya rage on the socialists/communists destroying our economy and not the manufacturers of products.

If fender decreased their crazy amount product sku they could consolidate production, focus on the best product for money and drop prices.

There is a catch, Many of the Gibson LP standards are 2022 stock. I bought a heritage cherry sunburst 50s and the guitar is incredible. The guitar looks beautiful and the tones are sweet. Also, the guitar came perfectly set up from Gibson! Intonation spot on and the tuning stability is insane. I was amazed the strings on a 2 year old guitar sounded so crisp, brite and still held perfect tune. I did some research and found Gibsons are shipped with Gibson Brite Wire strings. I just ordered some.

Dealers can't constantly be sending offers on reverb with huge discounts without the manufacturers having to lower prices. It's supply and demand too. When I bought a Les Paul in 2022 it was the only 50s neck standard on the wall at GC. Today they have a dozen LPs plus custom shop models and none of them are selling. They have a Slash LP marked down 30% just because it's been there a year

[@jeffcartwright4265]

Thanks for spending the time with me Baxter on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing my custom shop tele next year. As for prices, I feel like used instruments are coming down even faster at this point. I’ve had several people that thought they would sell their guitars quickly and would not negotiate only to come back literally two weeks later and be willing to take what I offered. That was not happening a year ago. And on a happy note, I picked up a peerless Epiphone casino in Black for $400.- Hoss

Now you are just being childish and ridiculous. My point is, All these broke communists are whining gibsons and too expensive. I pointed out the 18 month/no interest payment plan makes it so that even crybabies can afford a Gibson at just 155.55 per month! These same clowns have no problem spending 200.00 per month for their stupid phone and internet. But that is fine, so they can sext and watch/whack off to porn. But 155.55 for 18 months for a beautiful quality instrument that will last a lifetime is a rip off? haha

[@jameswhite1450]

200 bucks off a Fender or Gibson is a drop in the bucket. imho 200 bucks isn't a deal breaker for me. It might be nice on the cheaper guitars eg Epiphone or Squier

I just bought an LP Trad Pro V for $2499 at GC, plus $150 cash back using the gear card, down from the list price of $3199. The price was the former less than 5 years ago for the same guitar. I'm glad to have such a beautiful and functional guitar, though. I did stop in at Casino Guitars today and am thinking about picking up a PRS CE 24 since they have such great variety and prices!

[@alangreenway6695]

My Gibson LP’s cost: A Sunburst Standard for £1200 in 2001, A Custom Shop 57 Goldtop in 2003 for £2200, and a Blackburst Standard T for £1400 in 2013. Standards are now around £2400 and Custom Shops are about £4900. If I was buying my first Les Paul now I wouldn’t dream of paying that much. Good job my collection is finished!

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

That was 20 and 30 years ago. ha The price of a new LP is roughly the same price as it was in the 50s. A month's pay for the average working slub. I just bought the 50s heritage LP standard and I dont fell one bit ripped off. Its worth every penny. Its a beautiful instrument and nothing else sounds like a LP. In 1990 I bought a brand new Gibson Les Paul antique ivory Custom. I special ordered it from my buddy guitar shop owner from his dealer book.

Increasing prices increases revenue when demand is price-inelastic (less sensitive to price). Lowering prices increases revenue when demand is price-elastic (more sensitive). So companies are trying to maximize profits either way. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. ;)

[@cageliner]

In Canada, L&M has reduced the prices on some models, some Fender models are on sale, and Marshall amps have dropped quite a bit. A DSLR1C was $700, now it's $500 so I might order one. The prices are more in line with inflation rather than boosted profits due to massive sales during and after Covid.

I bought my first electric guitar in ‘19. It was a used 2016 Studio Les Paul for $850. I think they were going for $1,700 at the time. I’ve been pricing acoustic and electric guitars this year for the first time since then and I have total sticker shock! The Chinese built Guild & Eastman acoustic guitars seem like the best way to go for the bang for your buck. I just got a Guild D-120ce and it is awesome. I’m thinking about getting an Eastman 6 or 8OM next to learn some finger style on.

[@wikolib6821]

Sticker shock is right. Replacement cost for my small USA acoustic collection would probably be around 40k. The acoustic imports have improved quite a bit.They used to be pretty poor.

[@JaySmith-ex7xm]

Gibson raised the price on the Custom Shop Firebird $1,000.00 a few years ago-jumping to $5,499.00 from $6,499.00, which I thought was INSANE, and I actually own one of the guitars. So glad I got mine before the ridiculous price hike. Firebirds are not big sellers regardless, so I doubt they will drop the price on them.

I used to watch all those Andertons videos and in them the Marshall kept being called "bang for the buck" or they'd be like "this amp is good for the Marshall sound, but you could just get a Marshall for cheaper" and it confused the hell out of me. Then I did a straight pound to dollar conversion on their UK prices and found we were having over $1000 in mark up. Their studio 20 heads were under $1000 equivalent. From then on, I couldn't bring myself to buying a Marshall. Scalpers have ruined just about every one of my hobbies already and paying this crazy mark up made it feel so much like buying from scalpers.

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

Maybe its because Marshall is based in Britain? I recently snagged up the newly marked down Marshall DSL 40CR for 730. When they first came out they were 700. No doubt, they are dumping them because they are going to be releasing updated or new models. In any event, $730 for a DSL 40 CR is a bargain and the clean and crunch tones are awesome. No pedals needed with this amp.

[@ScottsGuitar]

If you’re in that price segment, you should look at the Friedman JEL 20. Got for under 1600 from SW, has a plexi and a JCM 800 under one 2 channel roof. Better value and better built.

When Gibson & Fender were having financial problems in the '80's, the common saying was, 'NEW' product was going to be so low priced that the Used market was going to collapse. That nobody would want used because New was going to be cheaper. Well. Almost.

People are back to going out, to playing sport, to seeing friends, going bowling, cinema, gigs, shopping etc etc. covid was an anomaly and you have to think back really hard to when we could do nothing, not work, not go out, not see family so guitars, other instruments, home tech etc took off. Now it is an adjustment, people are offloading some of the guitars they bought and the prices of Gibsons, Fenders and PRS in particular have gone crazy. I have seen a huge downturn in secondhand, I recently bought a mystic red metallic fender strat standard with custom shop fats 50s in A1 condition for £850, a year ago they were trading £1200 to £1400. I think some sage people are offloading their inventory where they loaded up 10 or more guitars and are now looking at it in terms of mortgage payments or family vacations, this is bound to have a knock on effect to new guitar sales especially when you see them at $3000, $4000, 5000 and higher.

[@ernieb3626]

[@metalfatigue]

I'd like to know if Gibson and Fender price protect. If the time comes to really slash prices, what happens to the dealer who paid 20% more, just a few months ago, for the same item? Also not mentioned here is failure to maintain product desirability. Not long ago I would have paid $1400 for a USA Strat that weighed 7.5 pounds (and I did). Now, I'm asked to pay $2000 for a 9.5 pound guitar. It's like manufacturers think we don't notice the laurelwood, the poplar, the pine, the Richlite, the matte finish. All this stuff's ok, but should result in lower prices, not higher.

Fender also cut their Player prices and GC offers and additional 10% off. Just ordered a Tele and might get a colorful Strat if that works out.
