[Gibson’s VOS finish]

I am a huge Gibson fan, dating back to 1963 when I bought my first one.  I currently have three great current model Gibsons.  I am a little bewildered, however, by Gibson’s VOS finish characteristics. 

Their rendition of an aged finish is a rough semi gloss finish that, to me, looks quite odd.  It’s been hand rubbed to its semi gloss state, apparently, but has a rough surface texture.  I don’t ever recall seeing an original Gibson through the years whose finish looked like that.  Maybe I’ve missed something along the way, but every Gibson I’ve seen and owned had a smooth finish, however dulled and scratched it may have become over the years.  

Other makers seem to be achieving an aged look onto black friday solar panel deals while still maintaining a smooth-to-the-touch finish.  What am I missing?

I like the VOS series and owned a few of the original VOS and I'm wondering what exactly does Gibson do to give the VOS paint finish.

Here is a video on a couple of acoustics from Acoustic Letter - they rave about these two budget models on various forums - I have never seen or heard any of them in the flesh, but I played a new Yamaha FS5 (2nd video below), way, way more expensive but also heavily raved about everywhere, at a local shop and it was just beautiful....concert size, torrefied top, based on the famous 60s models we are told....though I personally prefer wider necks and spacing for my fingerstyle playing........but it would be an inspiring guitar to begin on. (or you can ignore us all and go and buy the most expensive acoustic in the local guitar shop! Get the Gibson with all the inlays! 😛)

 

 

These 2, you could be like the learner driver in the BMW!

 

 

And my preference in guitar shape old and new!

I don't know, I have cheap guitar that bought 10 years ago, and it was maybe 60$ bucks value.

So budget not very important, but important guitar size, strings quality, maybe I can do, or some music workshops can changes something for better playing and learning on guitar, and etc.

what would good start for learning on guitar. Any information, or really helpfull guides would be nice. If you need more accurate budget, sites, maybe I can buy something from 2nd hand just ask me.

I wanna acoustic guitar with steel strings, maybe in future i'm gonna buy one with nylon(I like warm and cosy sound). Wanna electro acoustic, but would be better it have better quality in acoustic mode,

[Elvis Presley: Guitar Player]

Throughout most of his career, he used the guitar as a prop to a great extent. He did show he could play a bit on the acoustic segments of the 69 special as I recall. What other tracks are there - live or studio - where he demonstrates the most instrumental chops? Any place he handles all the guitar himself?  https://musicprofy.com/easy-elvis-songs-on-guitar/
