merciful-evans Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 As the 2016 USA (Nashville) models are up, I thought the Memphis line would be there also. Well, not yet they aren't. I suppose because there were no major changes to 2015 Memphis guitars, there is less attention. I'd still like to see what's coming though.

I am also waiting for the new 2016 models...I don't see why they did not introduce them at the same time. I managed to get the following pic from the recent Gibson Memphis parties they organized in LA..the new blue colours look very nice! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Hill Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Anybody head when information will be coming out? The only thing I have seen is the ES-335 Government Edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I want to see the 2016 Memphis PRICES!! If it follows the trends of Gibson USA, we should see a good drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesh Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 When was the '15 lineup announced? Feels like it hasn't been out as long as the '15 USA lineup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Hill Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 When was the '15 lineup announced? Feels like it hasn't been out as long as the '15 USA lineup... Just did a quick search and it looks like 1/7/15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Well, Gibson may not alter the 2016 models, much. Most of the 2015 complaints seemed to have had more to do with the controversial spec's changes (wider necks, zero fret, Les's "shakey" singnature scrawl, etc.) to Les Paul, and SG models, than the Memphis models. But, it Will be interesting, to see if they add, or bring back, certain models, or "spec's? CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesh Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'd certainly like to see a gloss ES-345, or at least the option; came this close to getting one, but the VOS finish they seem to insist on putting on everything put me off. I don't mind it as a finish, but would rather buy a new guitar that looks like a new guitar, and let it age gracefully while in my care. Still...not as bad as the Fender Custom Shop; don't think I've ever seen a guitar coming out of that CS that hasn't been relic'd in some fashion.

When I bought my 1959 reissue ES345 I changed the tailstop to a TP6 (which I prefer) but I had to get hold of a used gold one to match the VOS of the rest of it.

GottaBeGibson Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Still don't get why the ES-Les Pauls all ended up with 1.7" nut. I really liked the 1.67" on the first ones. That said, the Pelham Blue and Goldtop P90 w/Bigsby are especially interesting to me. I think Gibson Memphis is putting out the best guitars Gibson has to offer.
