Nick Beach Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 This seems to be the buzz on other forums. What's the deal? Is this true? If so peace out, I'll see you on the Fender forums. Here it is folks: Gibson is producing a new line of Les Paul. This model will be a cheeper version of the studio and will be produced in China, yet it will still carry the Gibson logo. The guitar comes with a usb port, and a genuine Gibson usb wire. Plug the guitar into your computer and you are greeted with a program that contains a dumbed down version of Amplitube, and basic recording/editing fuctions, and a program to help you learn songs, along with a store. The big 'revolution' is Gibson will have an 'Itunes' like store. Songs will be downloaded as *.gpf files, which is a compsoite of .mp3 and Gibson's new tabulature format. The format makes learning the songs super easy. You can slow down the song, and there will even be videos for some of the most popular songs, which would require an additional purchase. This isn't like learning songs from youtube, or other tab sites. These songs will be accurate as Gibson is working with the Artists when possible, and life long musicians otherwise. *edit: The price mark for the guitar is going to be $300 - $500. The $500 version will have better electronics, and finish." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for the $8000 '59 reissue version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 If you're right, that could mean that all "American made" Gibbys will be worth a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I predicted it, I won the prize...... It's all just a ploy to get the Craigslist ads to come into line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Mom and Pop stores now get to buy (sell) REAL Gibson guitars! I heard it in a broom closet somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverside Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I thought Der Leader wrote that Gibsons would always be made in the USA. Give the man a chance. Wait for the announcement that will change music forever, will you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantha Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 .. that's pretty funny, but obviously a straight-faced joke. The tip off for me was "... and a genuine Gibson usb wire." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I stand corrected :blink: It has a glowing logo even. That's actually not a bad price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I agree with Riverside, Guitarest and BigKahune; ah, Big Bill, is that High Heal Nike Shoe part of Gibson's big announcement ? A Nike / Gibson high heel sneaker with a built in amp, speaker and high quality chinese digital effects? Perhaps the big announcement is that Gibson is buying Fender and will be raising prices to be more in line with what we can afford, and also that all Strats and Teles will now be chambered to give them a special nuaunce ( think thud ).:unsure: I saw that Gibson Customer Service posted on this thread...Please don't suspend me, I truly love Gibson and mean no disrespect at all.
