I'm in for a Midtown bass in vintage sunburst, it will match my 6-stringer. Glad I held out, usually with my luck I'll pay full price and it goes on clearance the next week. These are some great deals. I was very tempted on the Thunderbirds, both the rev & the non-rev, but I'm not a huge fan of the current models. The prices still made them very tempting. I sold my '95 T-bird over 10 years ago for more than they're blowing them out at now. The NR ALMOST got me, but I resisted. If it had been a T-bird II, I'd have been all over it!
I had a feeling they would blow out the Midtowns at some point. They did the same thing with the 6-string Midtowns, and a bunch of the Studio & Tribute model guitars they put out a couple years ago. However, I never would have thought I'd ever see a brand new Thunderbird for 9 bills. Does this mean they'll be discontinued? That seems to be the trend for Gibson's blow-out pricing. Maybe they're happy with the sales of the Epi Classics?
