Oooh NO! The Gibson GAS Affliction!

[Inspector #20]

So, I just ran into this brand new hunk of burnin' love, courtesy of the re-formed Gibson:

It's the new ES-235 and is a fresh model from the new "JC Era" of Gibson.

It's a little smaller than an ES-125, but larger than a Les Paul.

Gibson ES-235 Gloss 2019

Believe it or not, I'm considering selling both my Les Paul Studio project I built up last year and my Washburn HB-30 to help fund the purchase of one of these beasties. Even then, I may have to sell a couple of amps I don't use, anymore.

For reminders, here are the LP Studio and the Washburn...

LP Studio:

Washburn HB-30:

I asked my wife's opinion. She just said, "Do what you want to do."

She also likes the ES-235, so she'd be cool with it.

So, what say ya'll?

I'd have to stay with that Studio....

I'd have to stay with that Studio....

I see the point.

However, I really like semi-hollow guitars and this ticks pretty much all the boxes.

Admittedly, I already have a semi-hollow in my Washburn, but this one has a different vibe.

Only you can answer that question. I see that Studio and I see $800/week easy money coming in...

Part of the reason is the level of work you put into it. Plus, it looks good. My Les Paul is ugly as a $5.00 hooker...

So, let me make sure I’ve got this right...

I send you my LP Studio and you’re gonna give me $800.00 per week?

That does sound like a good deal!

I see guitars as tools to have fun, be on stage and get paid...

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

Plus guitars as tools to get other people to pay you for them and then you buy more to sell to more people and the payment train keeps rolin
