  1. That’s an awesome looking guitar! Thanks for the welcome.
  2. Thanks again everyone! I’ll definitely send info on its arrival and first song played etc. Quite excited for its arrival... waited some time but it’s ok. The factory was backed up with orders when this was ordered to about 4000 orders caused likely by the implications of covid prior to that. Anyway I’m certain worth the wait.
  3. Hi Leonard You mentioned “ a cutaway is hard pass for me in general”. Just wondering why that is out of curiosity? Is it because the other full body models have a fuller sound/tone? Just curious. I’ve heard and or seen debates regarding differences between cutaway etc... some say not so much difference in sound? I think though full body would be much larger sound. It might prompt me to get another full body guitar down the road in a different model though. Although this should sit fine with me for some time for sure.
  4. Thanks all for some interesting info and opinions on this. Being my first Gibson acoustic, something about it just really caught my attention. Im feeling good about it and looking forward to its arrival. Should be no later then mid April. Thanks again all 👍
  5. Hello, I ordered the Gibson Songwriter Chroma Black Cherry guitar at the beginning of November last year. It has since been discontinued. However at the time had confirmation from Gibson USA and Gibson Canada rep that it would be made and the order would be processed. However I have confirmation now of ETA end of this month.... first arriving at head office of my music store then will be send on to my city. Estimated mid April . This will be my first Gibson. The guitar just appealed to me and I have the highest regard for the high quality of craftsmanship produced by Gibson USA at Bozeman. The question I have about Gibson acoustic guitars is regarding this guitar. I understand there are standard models etc J45, Humingbird, Dove etc that have been in Acoustic Lineup forever! How would the Chroma rate in comparison overall of the standard models that are always in the lineup? I guess I’m just trying to understand that the Chroma was only a run of a certain amount of guitars? And does it make the Chroma more rare. IMHO I think the Chroma will be amazing in every detail and will definitely exemplify the amazing craftsmanship of Gibson Custom shop acoustics. Yeah it’s a long wait getting this guitar but at the time it was ordered they were backed up with 4000 orders. I knew it would take considerable time. But well worth the wait. At any rate I’ve got the updated ETA and will be in my hands soon!
  6. Hello I’m Brian from Calgary AB, Canada. New here. Just awaiting a special order from Bozeman of a Gibson Chroma Songwriter Black Cherry (Now Discontinued). Order was placed November last year but at the time due to covid etc they were backed up with about 4000 orders. Though I did have confirmation from both Gibson USA & Gibson Canada reps at the time that it would be made, though it would take time. Latest ETA is end of this month roughly which would make it first to head office of the music store I deal with. Estimation should arrive for me here mid April. Definitely looking forward to this!
  7. Thanks for the welcome! Yes I’m very patient awaiting my Chroma Black Cherry.... it has now been discontinued. However my order was placed in November last year and had confirmation from both Gibson USA rep and Gibson Canada Rep along with management from Canada’s largest music store that it would be made. Now we have an ETA around the end of this month likely showing up here in my city mid April! When the order was placed I knew it would take some time and covid has certainly impacted that. There were backed up with about 4000 PO’s of all types of guitars when the order was placed. But worth the wait. Will be the only one in Canada at least from the music store I purchased it from ad there are zero others in their network across the country. So will be rare up here indeed.
  8. New here, just saying hello. I’m here as I’m trying to order a Gibson acoustic custom shop Song Writer Chroma Black Cherry and was looking for info as it seems most custom shop stuff is out of stock and also did not get a definitive answer from my local music store, but we went ahead and initiated the order process as it is listed as an active product on their website also.... though out of stock ..... we initiated the order process anyway. Initially they seemed to be reluctant stating no known ETA for ordering and that it could take an extensive time.... I don’t mind waiting as long as as it takes but we initiated the order process anyway even if it takes a year.
  9. Just wondering if anyone would know if they are still making guitars in Montana at current? More particularly custom acoustics. I was hoping to order a Song Writer Chroma Black Cherry however Gibson site shows out of stock. I’m from Calgary Canada Contacted my local music shop initial response from a sales rep at Long & Mcquades was no definitive ETA... making it seem impossible. I then reached store manager, the guitar us on the stores website indicating it can be ordered.. so we went ahead and initiated an order via their systems to get the order process initiated. I’m not concerned having to wait an extensive time as I’m really wanting to get this guitar. Does anyone know if they are being produced? Most of the custom shop models seem to be “out of stock”. Does it mean that many are just in back order status or have they halted production? If anyone can provide info would be greatly appreciated.
