Its only $650 more than a standard HB, which is what Blake Shelton's ex-wife's guitar is just with different birds on the P/G and its blue.
BTW, Lambert has sold more records and has had many more hits than her ex-husband...

Yeah well... all Gibsons are pretty much overpriced to begin with, so....

I think it's really pretty. For a girl. But too expensive for what it is... I know signature models are more expensive, but jeez...

It’s not bile and venom. Just answer this simple question. Tell me what girl has 4k of disposable income to spend on a blue guitar? Did you read press release of her wanting to inspire young girls to play. That’s outstanding. A 4k guitar is not going to make that happen. It’s called reality. Its Gibson being Gibson.
THIS I agree with wholeheartedly. TheTaylor Taylor Swift model was about $500.

Seriously who here has she inspired to play? Joke of a joke wrapped in joke sandwich.
You? Doubt it.
LOL. Myopic much?

I'd "heart" some of these posts of I could... but some don't give me the option, and the ones that do aren't clickable. Is it a post count thing? You need x amount of posts counts before you can start "liking" stuff?

At least Noel plays the thing, for Miranda its a prop like her hat and boots.
Huh? She writes her songs on guitar. She plays live all the time. Unless your next comment is going to be "it's probably not plugged in"... not sure why you have such a hate on for her, but she does write and play. Her guitars aren't "props".

I agree the "signature" thing has a gotten silly. Nathaniel Rateliff??? I dig his music, but he doesn't rate a signature model IMO. Many sig models these days are from new artists I've never heard of. Fender is a big perpetrator.
And yes: the RNR HOF means nothing, unfortunately. But back to Miranda's blue guitar: it's pretty. If I dug blue guitars, I'd buy it... except it's overpriced. But most sig models are of course. I own a PRS DGT Core... talk about overpriced (fantastic guitar tho)

I heard him and Fee Waybill of The Tubes are good friends and Richard was his best man.
Well, he's definitely written some tunes with Fee. So has Steve Lukather, another monster player/writer... most people don't know he wrote George Benson's "Turn Your Love Around", and won a grammy for it. He also wrote some of the Tubes songs, like "She's A Beauty (One In A Million)" (along with Fee & David Foster).
Marx has written with a bunch of people, David Foster is a close friend. Keith Urban, Pink, he's written songs for Lionel Richie, Kenny Rogers, Vixen, Luther Vandross... Marx is alot more than "Shoulda' Known Better" and "Right Here Waiting"
It's a shame that songwriting royalties aren't what they used to be, thanks to streaming. Marx said in the old days a #1 hit would buy you a house. TODAY a #1 hit might buy you dinner. Crazy.

At $4649, I doubt it it will inspire girls to play. First your out of your mind Miranda if you think, now these are the exact words of the article, young girls, can afford it. Anyone know a 15 year old girl with an extra $4649 lying around?

Don't disagree with that at all. But album sales and hits do mean something. Yes, both Justin Bieber and Willie Nelson have achieved both, and no they are not comparable, but it does mean something. Taylor Swift is selling out stadiums. Like her or not, she's a huge and talented star. Just because you may not like her music doesn't mean it's not good, it just means it's not good TO YOU. Millions of people think you're wrong lol.
I have music I can't stand either. The current bro country thing is godawful. The difference is, in 10 years no one will care who Florida Georgia Line was. In 10 years Miranda Lambert will still be appearing on the opry, and in 20 years Taylor Swift will still be one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) female singing start of all-time (she just surpassed the former female singer album sales leader, Barbara Streisand.)

It's cool if you like blue guitars. Miranda is a real-deal songwriter, she writes most of her own stuff, and has since she was a teenager. She's very talented, like her or not. She certainly knows more chords than Taylor Swift... who is also talented, like her or not. (personally, I'm an old-school outlaw country guy, so these artists' current music isn't my bag. I did like like Miranda's first 3 albums tho (she has 9 major label albums).

I know, necro-thread...
I recently discovered these parlors, demos sound amazing, but also was looking at the J-185 Modern Walnut. I realize the 185 is a little bigger and deeper, but was wondering if anyone had actually played both? Neither are available to try in my neck of the woods, unfortunately... especially the parlor, which I'd have to buy sight unplayed, used.
I love the thought of a smaller guitar that sound big... like a Grand Auditorium "big", not dreadnaught big. I have always gone spruce/hog on acoustics, but the smaller body does seem to make good use of the rosewood in the bass department...

Nah, it's cool.... people can pay whatever they want. I certainly overpaid for my PRS DGT. But I don't regret it, its a fantastic guitar. I still say it's not WORTH the asking price, but if you want THAT guitar, you pay THAT price.
