2 weeks...

Anyone else notice the Gibson home page?

Welcome to the New Gibson Brands

Looks like they got something big coming in just under two weeks.

 

[CabanaBoy]

Not until I seen this - thanks - I think the count down is kind of cool...

One big wish for me: get rid of the cream-colored binding. Ugh. I can't figure out how they ever thought that was okay...I mean, I know it was a Hank J-ism, but it's awful (and I have two guitars that I love that came with the horrible cream binding).

 

[eSGEe]

big wish for me -- get something NEW in BASS WORLD
Gibson Guitars - Explore Bass Models

 

[eSGEe]

"Explore" bass models --- really-- you have 3 models---not much EXPLORATION since you have made 2 of them since DIRT was invented---and the OTHER one is a direct rip[ off of Tobias

Come on Gibson...........this is sad

You know what I think would be cool?

A brand new line of Gibson amplifiers.

I wouldn't mind seeing that. The last line they had, the Goldtones, sounded great. I know they were basically rebadged Trace-Elliots, but they sounded great.

Id buy that.................well if its cheap----------

They were not cheap. But they were worth the money.

 

[Tony M.]

The old ones with the space program names sounded good too.

 

[gasket]

More of these please ...



I'm unsure if I just expressed "irony" or I actually (way deep down) like them?

 

[Mr Grumpy]

There were a lot of 2019 guitars at NAM that we just haven't seen like standard production SG and LP specials - the LP special might be really nice and $1400 or so. Also, they will likely not have a year date on them anymore.

I want a brand OLD line of amps! Their 50s and early 60s amps are smokin'!

 

[RVA]

It could not be a line of shredders. 8 strings, pointy bodies, flat radii, long scale shredders.

 

[Tony M.]

Shredders?
They are branching out into office supplies?
Why am I not surprised?

Despite myself, I don't hate these conversion-van homages. I'd go for that black and silver one and put a pickguard on it which I think would reduce the weird factor a little.

They didnt do a proper black and red one ----

And ---for the record -- screw the guitar I WANT THE VAN!

No joke, I'd rather the guitar. I don't really spend much time thinking about vehicles these days: They're a necessary evil IMO, nothing more, and I use them as little as possible. I drive less than 4 miles each way to work and never even see my car on weekends.

I guess I'm lucky. We live at the beach and I work just inland, so I don't have to deal with any of the usual LA traffic BS. It's 3.7 miles door to door and it takes me about 15 minutes on a bad day. My car is 4 years old and has 22,000 miles on it, mostly racked up driving out to Palm Springs and Las Vegas for fun.
