JuanCarlosVejar Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Slimt , Just that torrified top J 45 prototype . I will check it out and let you know my impressions. We could be looking at a new Legend series for 2016 if they suceed in doing this. I also saw a picture of a les paul acoustic prototype ( a j 165 with a les paul neck) . I hope to see it up close JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyd Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I saw a video on youtube where Don Ruffatto says they are not introducing anything new. That's pretty weird. Then why put this on their website??? http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Acoustic-Instruments/Gibson-Acoustic.aspx?ModelYear=2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 new models Your thread title got me pumped. Then a bit of disappointment finding out there's nothing new. Although I'll guess there'll be something like a Red Spruce Authentic Vintage Custom Appointed Banner Limited Edition J-45. . . B) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you forgot ( Aged , Relic, and one of so many out of 5000 J45s Built since when?) in there.. Dont get me wrong.. I like Gibsons.. Just not this way..

onewilyfool Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 What if the luthier makes a mistake during the relic'ing????? They would have to start from scratch!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanCarlosVejar Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Ok I got some pictures of the new stuff and conversed with Don about the torrified prototypes , ill post photos slowly. Hummingbird Treated Top Proto : Hummingbird Custom Walnut .Limited 30 pieces : Les paul acoustic headstock : Les Paul body : There was also a treated top J 45 .The treated tops sounded very nice ... I loved the hbird. Don said they will be in the TV range price wise... he also said that they will only treat tops and bracing. Treating backs and sides is not as effective was also a conclusion. The Les Paul comes with Gforce electronics. The Walnut bird sounded really sweet .Don mentioned the new products will be on the site April 1st. He gifted me a black gibson acoustic pick .And also commented Robi Johns was at the show for some time yesterday JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogeye Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 J.C. Did you get a chance to talk to Ren? I was wondering how your custom was coming along. Will it have the Gibson logo on it or will it be a Ferguson? I think I would like the Ferguson logo on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to find out through Jeremy ... as soon as I know something I'll post an update. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that's their way of saying, "If you were going to buy a Gibson in 2015, maybe you should wait until 2016." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
