Gibson Electrics - 2019 NAMM.
I watched a few videos and read some Forum threads on Gibson's 2019 NAMM show for their electrics. Looks like the new owners listened to players' feedback and acted on it. Really positive feedback from the show, the fans, and the forums. The new guitars are due out in the latter half of 2019.
A few changes include:
Lots of other changes that will come up in this thread. Here's one video (over an hour long): https://www.premierguitar.com/articl...p-guitar-demos Anyone else hear about the new Gibsons? Your thoughts? |

Gibson was bigger at NAMM this year than any year I can remember (they weren't even there last year and the last several they might not as well have been).
I think we're going to see some twists on old stuff along wih some back to basics. I was excited just to see how large and in charge they were this year. Definitely had a "they're back!" feeling. |

I bought a Traditional last year when I heard about the bankruptcy. Went out and got a nice deal and figured that I'd go ahead and bite the bullet just in case something crazy happened with Gibson.
Funny thing is that now that the Traditionals are being done away with, I've had people out of the blue offer me more than I paid for my Traditional. Mine's Iced Tea burst, so maybe a discontinued color as well. I wonder if the Traditionals will ever gain in value. Seems in the present, they are worth about $200 more than I paid. |

Interesting that you're being offered more for your traditional than when you bought it last year. Is it a keeper? |

My only curiosity is if the post-bankruptcy fixed the SFQ issue relative to their competition. My trips to Dave’s and other great shops with a whole lot of inventory would disappoint me because the Gibson models I liked were priced like or more than Collings and PRS but most were crude by comparison.
Basically it seemed like other old brands such as Martin and Fender sold better or at least more consistently well made stuff in addition to selling the model designs and logo. When I read about Gibson change my hope was more truly premium stuff at the higher prices.
