I have a cream? Coloured sonex 180de luxe in great condition . Any offers or what could it be worth?

Ihad one in 89-90, sweeeeeeet! they were made only between 1980-1984. they were the cheapest guitar gibson ever made, but mine was the best i ever played. i paid $200 at a pawn shop, and my buddy had just dropped $1200 on a gibson les paul standard, he preferred my sonex over his! gibson doesnt have any info on them on their website at all, and will probably not reissue, if i see one for sale im grabbin it! despite the cheap body, and bolt on neck, the sound a sonex produces is real magic, and the action is smooth and easy, i give it 3 thumbs up! near as i can tell the only differencce between the 3 models, deluxe, custom and artist, was the finish options

:I have owned a Gibson Sonex 180 deluxe for the past 9 years. I have always wondered when it was made and how much it eas worth. I bought it for $100 at a yard sale in Ohio from an old man who said it was his sons who had moved away. Since I bought it I have recorded with it , played gigs with it and practiced on it. I own seven other vintage guitars and the sonex by far is my favorite. I will try to e-mail ti serial number to gibson and get some info like one of your responses recomended. Im glad Im not the only one who was in search of this mysterious guitars history. Good luck.

Well wut do u need to know dude?

when i got the guitar, it needed some work… I traded an effects pedal for it, from a friend of mine when I was in high school. I am restoring the guitar into a gem… I did not even know that the guitar was a gibson until I read your website…. I thought it was just "another" gibson stlye bodied guitar… I don’t have a lot of time to finish typing all that I would like to ask you… would you email me, maybe the both of us can work together to answer each others questions. thanx- Jason [email protected]

the gibson sonex was engineered by gibson to have the best sustaine of any guitar. the neck was made of mahogany and the body was made of resin wood. the pick ups are zebras wich were specialy desined for the guitar. that was the only time resin wood was ever used in any guitar. the sonex is really a peice of guitar history. but only 24 thousand sonexes were made in 1980

I have a Gibson sonex-180 deluxe, and I want you to send me some pictures about the sonex, The one I have is older…. Bye…

I have a 1981 Sonex 180 deluxe, which needs a new pickguard and some electronics work done, that my parents got me for a christmas gift about 10 years ago from an old guy in Hobart, IN for about 00….. It immediately became, and still is to this day, my #1 guitar! I have tried other Les Pauls, SG’s, and similar guitars, but this one has "the" tone!!!!! HEre’s a list of mods and tricks I installed in the past few years:
500-T humbucker in bridge position, modified with removed pole pieces in the humbucker to "thin" the sound a bit;
Coil taps on both humbuckers;
Shorter pickup mounts to facilitate placing the strings closer to the frets, making playing easier and "faster";
new bone nut instead of the plastic one that came with, better sustain;
graphite string saddles
The thing sounds great now ran into my Fender tube combo, and I can get any tone I want out of it! All replacement parts are made by Gibson and any mods were done by me, so as to keep it somewhat "original"….. This summer it’ll get the new pickguard, which I hope to get from Gibson or Front Porch Music in Valparaiso, IN, since MArk, the guitar tech there, I KNOW can make it!

i have one cream color – made early 80’s – a les paul at a lower price – thing plays and sounds great
keith

i too have a vester guitar which i love and have searched the web high and low for any trace of this elusive company but all to no avail. The only lead i found was that they stopped making guitars a few years ago and now only make pickups

Ive got a Sonex. They were the cheap mans guitar in the 1980s. Made in the USA, for the USA. These guitars a Rare in the UK. Main diff was the bolt on neck. There not very light (big understatement). Best thing to do if you want to find out more. If you turn over the sonex and look at the head, they should all have a serial number at the top. Email this to Gibson, because they have records of where they were all made. Mine was made in Nash-Ville, in 1982. It was the 91st guitar made on the 123rd of that year (Yes they are that accurate). Have fun.

I think I have a manual that I can copy and send to you. I have the guitar as well and I believe I still have the manual. Send your email address to me and I’ll scan it in as a .pdf file this weekend and send it to you.
