I'm trying to resist the Les Paul Traditional guitar. Fat neck, no weight relief, weighs about 10 lbs. and sounds great. I don't need it but whoever said you have to need it to buy it? Hey, I'm already divorced, no worries there.

Kinda tempted by the 50s LP Tribute with the P90s.  ~$600! 

You can tell the deals are on when the scatch-and-dent of the same model is $200 more    (might not hurt to call and ask whether they'd cut the prices on those accordingly)

Wish I could s41t money right about now.

Must resist the RD!!!!

Played one for the first time last Saturday.. nice bass    Neck profile feels a bit chunkier compared to the birds, and that body is substantial - with a sound to match.

Wow, crazy good prices on some of that stuff! Glad the T-bird isn't available in white...

[Denis]

The RD is scratch and dent at $1079.

You're still in the first hundred days, Denis, you can do anything before the final clamp-down!!!

[Denis]

Then I need to go ahead and buy that '77 Plymouth Gran Fury ex-police car with a 440 I found!

Just when I told myself I wouldnt buy another bass this year a sale like this comes...damnnabbit!

[hollowbody]

Crazy deals! I wish I could swing one of these. I told a friend about it and his SG Original will arrive on Wed.

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?

[Granny Gremlin]

OMG, why is this now.  Some of these prices are crazy good.

[66Atlas]

Looks like Sweetwater matched the prices this morning for what they have in stock.  For a few hours yesterday they had up "Pre-order" listings for the 2014s.  I thought it was interesting that the 3 colors they listed for the Thunderbird were Sunburst, Heritage Cherry & Walnut...Not sure I can picture a Walnut Bird 

[stiles72]

I ordered a Midtown Cherry and a Sunburst Les Paul. Will try them out and one will go back. I have a feeling the bigger size of the Les Paul will feel better, but the Midtown with that neck pickup will sound better to my ears.
