That's one of the three that were sold a week or so ago. Possibly it was returned or the buyer had it on hold and backed out of the purchase?

Re: JBLP #293 at Wildwood

I thought that was the one I was posting about a few weeks ago.  Has the base price gone up since they first started to sale the JBLP???  I thought they were right at $4000.

Re: JBLP #293 at Wildwood

originally they sold at GC for $3895. Some were sold on ebay for a lot less. Maybe by a store employee (or even Gibson employee?) who could get one for cost. With Joe's increased popularity and with only 300 of them produced, I'm not surprised that their value has increased. Supply and demand.

Wildwood asked $4399 for the last 3. This one is the same.

I got mine from GC or 31 or 32 shipped on clearance.  I was very lucky indeed.  Wildwood have a great bunch of guys working for them, I'd buy from them again in a heartbeat.

Re: JBLP #293 at Wildwood

I need to find one at another dealer - Wildwood won't ship these outside the US.

Not knocking them - they are probably restricted by their dealer agreement with Gibson...pity!

Or make a USA buddy to buy it and send it to you.   tongue   I would help you out but I don't have enough credit in the world to get the guitar.

Re: JBLP #293 at Wildwood

Haha - Thanks for the offer of help, and the extra info AD3THREE and stevebonamassive!  smile

I checked that one at Peach Guitars a while back - I think back then it was around AUD$7000  hmm   Considering the Wildwood ones are around AUD$4500 that is about the cheapest I have seen one of these...

Re: JBLP #293 at Wildwood

Hey congrats!  I noticed it had the holes in the back of the headstock like it had the "original" tuners removed/replaced by the Grovers.  Mine doesn't have that, I wonder if it was a custom order kinda thing.  I think the aging looks great on it too!   wink
