The Pittsburgh Store is blowing out VXT, Elite and a 2005 Collectors Edition. The Collectors Edition is around $600. They will sell today and the sale starts Monday.

I am not a fan of GC but we were nearby and it is a guitar store so...

So did you buy one?

I got a flyer in the mail telling me that they would give me a Gibson calendar if I was one of the first fifty in-the-door...

I might go out there anyway, I need a case for the 1778T and I can always use a calendar.

Do they do that at a lot of GCs? How can you tell, other than going there often?

I went to GC Mayfiled Hts Ohio. Had a couple of Balladeer Lxs on deal, but not much else. Just about everything in the store was 10% off.

I emailed the Pittsburgh GC last night and called them this morning. They said they did not have an 2005 Collector's.

I was in North Olmsted, Ohio's store this evening. Same deal, not much going on.

Todd, looks like we're neighbors.

I'm in Rocky River.

I also went to GC N. Olmsted last night and according to "the list", I think they had an Elite T, black for under $600.00, and and Elite with the lasered epaulettes for under $900.00, but they were gone. I thought the sale was a disapointment, basically everything marked down only 10%. Not really worth the gas to get there. Better deals on ebay.

There is definitely something going on with the pricing.

FWIW,

The 2005 Collectors was at the Pittsburgh Store on Saturday, this is the store in Robinson Town Center. It was hanging near the top of the support column in the center of the acoustic room. The only reason I looked for it was that I saw it on the sales list and was surprised it was still there.
I bought a black VXT from the Monroeville store, they matched the price ($853) and it was in better condition than the one at the Pittsburgh store.
I have been lusting for a VXT for some time, I love playing it.
