Hype

Gibson can rehash and repackage very easily.

Dude tried hard to avoid mentioning TS…I get it.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Gibson reproduced one of Slash’s Kris Derrig ‘59 LP copies.

Sounds like you have a 1961 Gibson ES-355 Stereo Varitone.

Damn Dave you are right. This is closest to the guitar. But the tailpiece is different. https://reverb.com/item/80890572-gibson-l-7c-1949-sunburst?utm_source=rev-ios-app&utm_medium=ios-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=80890572

Thanks Dave. I initially searched for an L5 but it didn’t look like it at all. Was thinking maybe 350. Actually don’t think it’s an L4, cos I saw another picture and there are 2 pickups. Perhaps maybe an L4 with double pickups? https://www.etsy.com/listing/904737739/bono-guitar-1988

Can anyone tell me what guitar is this? ES-350? https://www.reddit.com/r/U2Band/s/2Zv0qkZVes

The J-180 in the light pink or light blue is probably what was the rumor, inspired by Taylor Swift in those colors, even the Ebony colored one. She has all 3 colors, so it’s not really a signature but close to what her Gibson J-180s look like.

*J-180

@Swampdog62 You get a mention at the the 2:44 mark…

Inspired By came with a nitro finish? Those were reserved only for the Limited Edition 1965 John Lennon Casinos I believe.

Since Gibson & Epiphone has been doing well with their Artist Endorsement Signatures, rumor has it Taylor Swift will be a getting an Epiphone Signature, based on the custom “Lover” painted Gibson J-200. Anyone else hear through the grapevine?

Not surprising usually either around Feb/Mar or Oct/Nov each year there is a price increase.

Would be nice if they released a Sunburst one..

You know you’re right…

That could be a possibility…

Sweet. I haven’t had enough time to really sit down with mine….

A few years ago I got a Roland TR-09 and BOSS DR-880. I still have to get a Roland 808 then think I’m done with drum machines. Last year I got a Beat Buddy Pedal and foot switch it’s still sitting in the bloody box, haven’t even played it yet….Sometimes you just buy a lot of stuffs and it just collects dust. Oh well.

That would be nice as well..Perhaps shipping Gibsons in climate controlled bags like Martin does would be nice..

Just noticed, Santa is good to those who have $$$$$$$$$$.

I bought his guitar brand new back in ‘97 for $810 CAD. It’s a great guitar.

Nice. I just picked up my Falcon a few weeks back….

Whatever you guys have planned in 2024 will most likely be rehashing of models you haven’t made in a while, or new Artist Signatures. Definitely an Epiphone DG-335 & perhaps the Gibson version. You guys may start building the ES-175 or perhaps ES-330 again. More Epiphone USA Made Series. Perhaps building a Chet Atkins Gibson Country Gentleman? We know in September you’ll do another Joe Bonamassa Epiphone Signature or perhaps Gibson Signature of one of his guitars….Maybe the $50K mystery guitar that was supposed to be released in 2023 is pushed to 2024..

I never said it was a Casino. It’s definitely a 330. I think the Bigsby B7 was added on and it didn’t ship from the factory like that.

OK, based on what I’m seeing have a couple more questions: 1) Find out if it is a Custom Shop. Check the back of the headstock near the nut to find out if there is a Custom Shop decal. 2) If there is a decal, perhaps Gibson did a 1962 ES-330 reissue. If not, then I suspect that the Bigsby B7 was added on by one of the previous owners. From what I’ve seen 2017 had 2 types of Casinos in Cherry Red, one with dot inlays and a Bigsby B7, and another with Parallelogram inlays and the traditional trapeze tailpiece.
