If the IIC++ really is a stock IIC+ with the mod not engaged via the knob, that’s a pretty gross cash grab, even by Gibson’s standards.

Yeah it’s just a ++, and they’re all already spoken for. So if you find a shop that gets one, pull the trigger swiftly.

I did the rounds at used GC site today. Bunch of non-eq III combos for $1300 that probably need a bunch of maintenance work/updating. Same as it ever was there. I don't want a IV or a V. The complex road for me is in my Axe if I want it. Simple Marks are my best bet for how my brain works. It'll most likely pass (but I do have a birthday coming up). I really need to splurge on a guitar insteadYou’ve already got a snaxberry matching what papa hett is using these days id save your money and buy a cheaper mark

I do think a sub $1300 III is worth it in 2025 if you have the means to apply some form of emulatee Mesa GEQ in the loop… that said if not in a rush I’d hold out for a GEQ loaded unit in the price range m. I’m emphatically getting the sense that IIIs are returning to some vague sense of normalcy and I think that trend is only going to continue
Get the (PRS) guitar for bday and check back on IIIs in 2026

Lemme help with your splurge...I really need to splurge on a guitar instead
A 1-off Spalted Maple JP15 perhaps...
Or maybe A Tiger Eye Purple Nebula...
I actually love mine just as much as the Majesty models!

Yeah I've loved about 25 PRS' in pictures but finding 'the one' has been unsurprisingly difficult. Probably as I am too damn cheap! Please ignore the guitar below obviously after complaining about being cheapI do think a sub $1300 III is worth it in 2025 if you have the means to apply some form of emulatee Mesa GEQ in the loop… that said if not in a rush I’d hold out for a GEQ loaded unit in the price range m.

^Missed this. No LPs for me. They look great on someone else or on a wall hanger but I tried more than a few times and it is just not my jam. Mayyyyyybe an ESP/LTD equivalent; but not a Gibby.

LP’s are really cool poorly designed instruments.

I can't comment on the poorly designed but overall; not a fan for myself.
