for the same reason why Louis Vuitton bags are also expensive.
the name of the BRAND!

Besides if they weren't selling at all, I'm sure they would lower the prices.... take a look around this forum and you'll see many members having over 10 Gibsons! So it's not really a problem for Gibson...

If prices would have dropped repercussions on the quality of the instruments ...

Out if we buy Gibson is for good quality of service, experience, wood, finishing, sound, playability comfort!
That's why it's the best guitars in the worlld.

I understand your problem but the only solution is for you to be patient and keep saving.
And the day you have the money and you buy the signature Angus.
This time you will remain alive in memory ... so it seems extraordinary guitar at this time you realize why the price is so high!

I guitars cheaper but I can not find the same level of service.

All things prestige has a price!
Do not give up your dream friends.

Guild D35NT It's great!
This guitar may have a nitro cellulose finish, it also looks like it may have a brazilian rosewood fretboard and bridge. It also has solid mahogany back and sides and a solid spruce top.
It's a very good guitar, built like a tank, some say they're too heavy but that is a matter of preferance.

Everything goes up in price. Had a Fender Jaguar (year 1968-70) I bought from a friend. Don't remember what happened to it. Paid $100 for it....ugggh! I had a few guitars in my life, picked them up then put them down for a couple of years at a time. I finally decided to play on a more regular basis, took the Guild D35NT out of the case, set in on stand in my bedroom and carried picks all the time. Play it every night now for a few years. I too want a nice Gibson but can't afford it right now. Kind of partial to the Casino Lennon had (sanded down from sunburst to natural), yeah I'm a bit sentimental, saw his last public performance with Elton John in 1974. At this point, can't really afford that either, next one down is the Dot (not the studio), I'd take it in an instant but would not sell the Guild for it, or for any other guitar for that matter. I couldn't say that just because the Dot is made by Gibson that it would sound as good as Gibson's top of the line but I'd work my way up the ladder eventually. I'm happy just to play anything that sounds good. When I can't afford to shop at Banana Republic there's usually a Gap right around the corner, same company!

Ya, I agree with that but I was looking at a certain type acoustic they have and its 30,000.... like thats more than a car
