Any nice SGs there? I know they’re not as popular these days around here (used to be quite a few of us SG guys).

I've been to the Garage in Nashville many times and it feels a lot more like a tourist spot than a guitar store, worth checking out regardless though its a pretty cool place. I've heard this new one has bigger Epiphone and Kramer areas which might make it a little bit more worth it to check out if you don't have new Gibson money

I love SG's but they don't agree with my playing style. Well, my holding-the-guitar style. I'm forever bending the tuning sharp or flat just by manhandling the thing.BoringPostcards wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 12:23 pmAny nice SGs there?

There were all the cool colour standards and a couple of very nice Murphy lab ones. There was a three pickup custom from Murphy in a fantastic shade of blue, really stood out. I didn’t really notice any other super interesting ones but I’m also not much of an SG person.BoringPostcards wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 12:23 pmAny nice SGs there?

I saw that and thought "if I could get that for 800-900 and paint it, it'd be a good deal".
Not for the 1170 they want though. I have lowballed them pretty brutally though
It's been for sale for over 2 yearsRe: Gibson Garage London

Oh yeah I've thrown some real low offers their way, didn't get a counter offer or anything so I guess they want 1170 or nothing at all.

I suspect that's exactly what this is meant to be, it's just off Oxford Street and by the sounds of things seems to lean heavily into merchandising. It sounds like the guitar equivalent of M&Ms World.efiug wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 12:31 pmI've been to the Garage in Nashville many times and it feels a lot more like a tourist spot than a guitar store, worth checking out regardless though its a pretty cool place.

But as I said in my previous post, I'd rather this than more luxury fashion. Although I suppose that's what Gibson is too, to an extent.

Well, if I can't find my dream guitar maybe I can at least get some cushy new bed sheets or nitro scented bath bubbles.

You could kit yourself out with this quite nice but also very expensive cardigan, or a £1300 leather jacket that looks suspiciously similar to the one I bought off Fleabay for £20 several years back. I kind of dig one of the trucker hats, to be fair.luau wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 6:13 am:/eilrahc wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 2:54 amI suspect that's exactly what this is meant to be, it's just off Oxford Street and by the sounds of things seems to lean heavily into merchandising.

Good grief. I think I'll stick with a patch, but they do have a nice hat or two for sure.eilrahc wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 6:22 amYou could kit yourself out with this quite nice but also very expensive cardigan, or a £1300 leather jacket that looks suspiciously similar to the one I bought off Fleabay for £20 several years back.

Woah...this "Lifton Leather Wallet, Black" totally matches my Les Paul's vintage case!
