I got my 2014 LP Studio Pro at a bit of discount. Enough that I can ditch the PC board and do a proper harness and a proper bridge pup to match the neck.

Waiting it out for solid colors is fine, but as prices fall the best grain/flame goes first.

Prices aren't what bothers me the most. People are free to price their wares however they like. It's the 'innovations' that drive me away. The cost in paying for a zero fret nut and a robot tuner, then paying to replace them with traditional components is wasted expense - zero value to weigh in the purchase decision.

My 2014 Studio is likely my last new Gibson.
