    1957 Gibson

    in Vintage Corner

    Posted

    I searched it on a serial number lookup and it is a 1957.

    Here is what it said:

    Year: 1957

    Location: Kalamazoo, MI

    Info: Archtop models have a stamp on the inside of the F-hole. On flat tops have a stamp on the neck block.

    You'd rather see him in leisurewear or a natty sports jacket? [laugh] ...be like Lemmy wearing golfing attire [scared]

    Yeah, it was great then and probably  had an influence on  guitar playing style for the (awesome) early 90's too. [thumbup]

    ...and, whilst I never really liked his band's stuff, I'd say the same to some extent for Mick Mars - though he was somewhat invisible among his bandmates. 

    I do agree that Mick Mars is underrated and not talked about enough. Whenever someone think famous 80 guitarists Mick does not come to mind, whenever people think of Motley Crue they think of Vince, Tommy and Niki but not Mick.

    Ok, I guess. I judge how someone plays by the hat and jeans they wear. Slash can play, but to me it’s boring.

    Its now 2024.

    In the the late 80s when everyone was trying to play like Eddie Van Halen or playing really fast it was Slash who brang back the classic rock bluesy sound. But I know what you mean and its cool to see him expand his ability in his new album.

    Who do I speak with @ Gibson to discuss new models?

    You know, I never really thought I would say this but I miss the Henry Juszkiewicz days..

    Up until the last five years or so when he went around buying up random electronic companies and tried to turn Gibson in to a "lifestyle" brand. 

    But I always got the impression he did actually care about the guitars and getting lower end models in the hands of young players...

    True, but Caesar Guieken is doing a great job. Since he took over, Gibson have done very well like opening 2 garages. Credit to Mark Agnesi as well who was overseeing the first garage, he is also in charge of the Gibson Youtube and starting high production series like "The collection", "The scene", "The process" and even non related guitar series like "Metal and Monsters".

    I think it is unlikely that we will see a signature slash ES-335. I imagine slash was using it for practicality purposes. In the studio before slash has actually used allot of differant models that aren't Les Pauls. I think its just hte fact Slash has used it for the semi-hollow body sound. 

    I'm pretty sure Slash has had more signature models then any other artist and apart from his acoustic J-45s all the electrics have been Les Pauls and I dont think Gibson would make another signature that is not a Les Paul.

    However there is a chance and Slash is releasing his new reissue of his "Jessica" soon so we do know that Gibson are still happy and succesful making his signature models. Watchout on Cesar instagram for any leaks.

    I think it is unlikely that if Gibson were to see these models that they would take it any further as they dont really do that sort of thing but stick with the classic and timeless models, however there is no harm in trying and you never know. I think Gibson are more likely to take on ideas like a modified brige of new nut design rather than a new body shape. 

    In terms of who to contact you could try Cesar Guieken (CEO) however not sure he is the best. You could also try their vice president Mat Koehler.
