2017 Gibson

[blakejcan]

I'll give them some credit. They are learning

Not a total failure

The firebird zero for $500 actually seems priced correctly too

Everything else....still higher than I'd like but not the gouging we have seen before

explorers and V's still look like the best deals to my eye

Re: 2017 Gibson

The new trads and Classic look like they've become Gibson USA Reissues......much more vintage correct seemingly.

I think the traditional, and the special models are looking really good. Nice to see Gibson is giving tools and a strap with the guitars now too.

Memphis is a separate release.

Re: 2017 Gibson

I have mixed feelings about it.

I mean it's 2016, I see a new line of gibson and think, **** it, today is the day.

I go online yesterday and see the 2017 model.

Comes with burst bucker pickups, the right knobs with pointers

AND THE ORIGINAL STYLE BRIDGE

and I think to myself Glenn, it's just a bridge. Yours works fine.

Then I see that it comes with a leather strap etc and think

Really gibson? What the ****? I didn't pay $2300 too?

I prefer the adjustability of my current bridge which you adjust with a little allen wrench.


But it seems like these out of the box are coming with all the stuff I had to pay extra money to put on the guitar, except the grovers.

Whats up with ditching the toggle ring?

Re: 2017 Gibson

I like the firebird studio and the new les paul classic.

those are on my radar.

Re: 2017 Gibson

M.F. has the S.G.'s available for preorder for the same price as the Firebird Zero....

I would have bought one of those things for $500 today if they were reversed bodies!!! Non-reverse Firebirds just rub me the wrong way....

Why get a FB studio when you can get a real FB from 2016 for less?

Can you? I've never seen it in stock at my preferred retailer. They're always back ordered, I for one am happy they're finally offering a case for guitars under $2k.

Speaking as a former owner of an original FBS- Because it has its own unique sound among Gibson guitars and not all of us want/like mini's.

Liking the look of that white V.

Re: 2017 Gibson

I hope this means they start blowing out the 2016 Flying V Pros at some point

Re: 2017 Gibson

I'm intrigued by the new LP and SG Custom Specials, I'm not 100% sold on the pickguards or double slug HBs, but I like that they finally started using a wrap around bridge with adjustable intonation.

That and the explorer had me close the tab and mutter to myself "just look away." I have a nice strat, LP and Ibanez. I don't need any more guitars.

I..don't...
Guitars.
Oh the V and Explorers sure looked nice. Hmm time to look at their pics again...
