  1. Title says it all. I’m excited for the future of this company again. I love the sound, size, playability, and the looks of this guitar. I’ve had other great, and not so great (Norlin era double braced acoustic) Gibson’s over the last few years, and I do believe this is by far my favorite. Thanks Gibson!
  2. I currently own two Gibsons, and have owned several Epiphones over the years. I have always found Epiphones, more so than yamaha, or most of the other lower-end guitars, to feel and sound very thin, and tight. Even my Norlin era Gibson Blue Ridge is heads and tails a better sounding guitar than any of the Epi's that I have personally played (Masterbilts included). Im not looking to offend anyone, or bash anybody, or any guitar. This is just the very costly experience/opinion that I have acquired over years of lusting over GIbsons, but only being able to afford Epiphones. All the while trying to trick myself into thinking that they are in any way comparable. Personally, I have adopted a no-Epiphone policy. I feel that the money spent on these instruments could just as easily be saved and invested into higher quality american made instruments. Also, it's interesting to note that the lack of love for Norlin era guitars have kept some of them well within the upper price range of Epiphone. So really it is possible to own a Gibson even if you don't have the 3-4k to drop on one. but even still, the Norlins do not live up to what was produced before and after the 70's but to me they have their own charm, and represent a piece of Gibson's history. just my .02 ymmv pdkm
  3. Hey all, my name is Justin and I live in North Carolina. I own two Gibson acoustic's a 2016 J15 and a 1974 Blue Ridge named Norlin.
