Want To Buy: Gibson J-15

[taylorman22]

Anyone have a Gibson J-15 they wanna part with? Have a Taylor 314 to offer as partial trade or can it outright. PM me.

still looking

There is one on Gulfport Mississippi craigslist, it has one of the best looking backs ive seen. I've talked to this guy a couple of times about different guitars, seems like a nice guy. He lives in New Orleans but im sure would ship.

Dang it I was just down there! And I've been looking for a J-15

Don't know if it helps, but GC is selling them for about $1100. I just picked one up fresh out of the box. They have a bunch on their used site as well, but the sale price convinced me to go new.

The two Guitar Centers closest to me, 30 minutes to each side of me don't have the J-15. So, I drove 80 miles away to Portland where they have several Guitar Centers...no other Gibson dealers. None of them have a J-15 either. I did play a J-45 Standard that I really liked and they have it on clearance for $1707. Really thinking about pulling the trigger on that one, and I would have 30 days to return it if I'm not happy with how it sounds. Would give me some time to test it out in our PA, etc.

Both GC's I visited today told me they only get the J-15 about every 2-3 months. I suppose I could order one and return it if I didn't like it.

Is this sale still going on? They look like they are priced higher on GC's website

Bought mine in store 2 nights ago in NJ. The price online
was higher than what was in store. I was in 3 stores over a week period shopping around and all had it marked lower than shown online.
