To get a proper valuation I would contact a vintage instrument dealer. Gruhn Guitars in Nashville do appraisals for a fee as do True Vintage Guitars in Birmingham Alabama. Worth it to get a professional opinion as your guitar could be worth a lot: https://guitars.com/appraisals https://truevintageguitar.com/

Guard looks original and checking in the finish like I have on mine. I'm no expert but looks like you might have a rare bird after all.

As long as people can finance Gibson's they'll keep on selling them. The actually MSRP is irrelevant. Just like buying a vehicle, it's all about the monthly payment. Buyers just think a hundred bucks a month for a couple of years to get a J-45 no problem.

I suspect a lot of folks go the financing route. You can pay $221/month for 24 months and get yourself an SJ-200. So why purchasing outright is probably not an option for many folks there is a way to get a guitar you've always dreamed of owning. If people want something they'll find a way to get it. Though I agree prices are I insane.

Are you sure this of one the 30 new models. Sounds like you may have got a previous version or something else altogether.

The price of this Cat Stevens model almost makes me feel like my Noel Gallagher model was a good deal.

Grover tuners on a $8k guitar🙄

I have the K&K in mine also, no complaints with the unplugged tone either.

Got my J-185 from them a few years back via Reverb. Good dealing with them and I remember the guitar was packed extremely well.

Fantastic thanks for posting. I'm jealous of your playing 👍

Beautiful guitar. The condition is incredible it looks new.

My thought would be AT stands for Adirondack Top instead of the standard Sitka spruce top.

Haven't opened mine. I don't plan on sticking it on my guitar. Seems like it's held up well on NG's J-150 though considering all the years and gigs he's had it on there for.

Did sound great. Really interesting guitar. Thanks for posting.

Congrats, I used imgur to post a pic of mine.

Noel and Weller are very good friends. I suspect Noel gave him one as a gift.

Congrats I'm glad folks are finally getting these. Well worth the wait though. Sounds amazing right out the box.

Mine finally arrived today. It's a big beautiful guitar. Also want to thank Orchid for the updates.

Congrats, that top does have a beautiful grain. Enjoy.👍

I would think the use of maple combined with the thinner VOS finish probably shows up imperfections in the wood. A full gloss finish would most likely hide these imperfections.

Maybe if you had the "receipt" instead of a "recipe" they might have been able to help you out.

I get when you buy a guitar online you don't get the opportunity to inspect it or play it first. But who buys a guitar from a music store without playing or inspecting the guitar first.

I remember this video from Normans rare guitars a couple of years ago. This is a 68' with the screwed down pickguard: as someone who owns a 63' Hummingbird which was in need of repair. I would recommend finding a good luthier/repairman to look it over and do any necessary repairs.

There's one on Reverb that's also missing the lyric sheet and adidas sticker: Gibson Noel Gallagher J 150 2021 Vintage Sunburst https://reverb.com/item/42327984-gibson-noel-gallagher-j-150-2021-vintage-sunburst?utm_source=android-app&utm_medium=android-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=42327984

Congrats. I ordered mine through Musicians Friend. Apparently they are still behind on shipping these out. Hopefully I'll get it in the next couple of weeks. Glad to hear your happy with yours.
