Re: Gibson 2019 line-up
I don't understand their aversion to producing the LP Special Double Cut. It's the best feeling Gibson overall IMO They've only done one in the last 25 yrs -in 2015 -yet they'll do the Junior DC this year which is cool and close.... but that TV Yellow Special..... its THE guitar.Last edited by NegativeEase; 01-21-2019, 03:13 PM.“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard

Re: Gibson 2019 line-up
I have to say, this is a pretty conservative line up. But I understand as they are just finding their way with new management, and the cries of 'just produce the guitars that were made 10+ years ago!'. I think their biggest competition these days is their past on the used market.Administrator of the SDUGF

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

Re: Gibson 2019 line-up
I will say that the Studio/50's/60's/Modern lineup is a nice clear line. I like the pup choices overall.
The B-2 V is excellent EXCEPT for face mounted jack.
Bottom line - they appear to be focussing on doing their basics well. That's a good thing in general. Time will tell....Originally posted by Bad City

Thoughts?
Might be my pessimism showing, but that's like the line-up ten-ish years ago, with a price hike.
Cheap finishes and crap boards on verrrry expensive guitars.... what's not to like???"New stuff always sucks" -Me

Re: Gibson 2019 line-up
My 2019 les paul junior is one of my favorite guitars. Suits me well, but the p90 needs a distortion/od boost before going into my roland street cube if i want sustain for legato. That’s the only thing i dislike about it, otherwise perfect.

Originally posted by Chistopher View PostThe neck joint is a big difference. An SG will always be slightly longer than an LP DC, even with the same scale length. Plus there is body thickness, body contours, and strap button location all affecting the feel of the instrument.“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard

Re: Gibson 2019 line-up
I played the 2018 Firebird and thought it was terrible, just terrible -probably the worst feeling and playing 1600.00 guitar I can remember -hoping they fix the overly vintage feel of the neck and fretboard this year.“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard

Re: Gibson 2019 line-up
I will say there aren't many semi or full hollowbody jazz boxes. Either they don't 'officially' add them to their lineup or they are too expensive and such a limited run that they aren't included.Administrator of the SDUGF
