So I admit, I’m confused. It sounds like you are basing the release on something you read somewhere that hinted it was happening, and that your GC guy took an order for one.
I just did a deep dive on google, and I can’t find any promo/prerelease blurbs or teaser info about this guitar coming out this year, much less this month. The only posts I could find mentioning it specifically were links back to your posts on other forums talking about the rumor and ordering it.
And more odd, there was no mention in the GuitarWorld write up of the private event you went to at NAMM. You’d think this would be a feature in the story.
I found the “old vintage” store clip of an Everly, but I didn’t gather they were necessarily saying that was a new model. If that was the one you were taking to be notice of a new one coming out, I felt it was more one of those “they were getting an old one in” teaser video. Why would a one off shop like, “Old Vintage” be handed the debut, when there are much more connected Gibson vendors they could give the fun to?
If it were me, with this much silence around such a big deal, I would be checking with my GC they understood I wanted the official new “Everly” release. And that they didn’t just write up another order for a M2M. My GC doesn’t have anything about it either.
Unless they do this occasionally, and I’ve not happened to catch it, I’d think Gibson would be flogging it by now with pre-release teasers, drumming up interest and pre-orders, especially for a production run model.
Really, stores should have their orders in, ready for the debut, and stock readied for shipping someplace by now. These things don’t happen overnight. What would be the point of keeping a major release like this secret?
Or maybe Gibson works differently than other large manufacturers. Really, I do sincerely hope my cynicism is completely unfounded. Very much looking forward to be proven dead wrong 🙂
Good work, P-Dog.

This information I found on "A" forum. 😊

Gotta love the virtue signalling that chimes in on these threads- "just beat the hell out of it, it's a tool!" Well, pros take care of their tools. And these guitars ain't cheap. If you don't care about retaining some value, or giving the appearance that you give a sh*t, then don't be surprised when you come across someone who does.

Looks like glue was not fully released at the corner when the bridge was pulled, taking a few chunks of the top with it. If true, this indicates
+1.

Bad luthier. Bad luthier! Bad bridge removal

You would be perfect for this guitar.

Of all the custom colors Gibson has done on acoustics, the Wine Red looks the most natural. Do you really need a too pretty sounding J-45-wannabe dentist's guitar?

But the second-generation luthier who fixed up my 1942 J50 described it as having a low end which would send a pre-War Martin D28 Herringbone running for cover.

What if you find one that has come to the end of his or her life on the side of the road? Can you make a pick out out the shell?
Then you might have somebody accidentally run over a whole flock of turtles. Guitar picks for everybody. Waste not, want not?
That would not be good.

Returning to the other topic regarding top wood, I have never drank too deeply from the Tone Wood Kool Aid and agree with luthier John Greven when he repeated an opinion somebody he admired made which was "spruce is spruce, get over it." In the end what comes into play is the knowledge and skill of the builder.
And I have never drank too deeply from the It's an old dusty musty obscure vintage guitar model the purchase of which does little to help Gibson or the economy, but it's old and probably sounds better Kool Aid. Another thing that comes into play in the end is being able to play.

Is it literally just the difference in finishes that separates the faded series models from the gloss finish ones? Wood, bracing, other appointments exactly the same?
For some people, that is enough of a difference.

Yes, but you gotta play 35 guitars to keep guitar repair people busy.

I missed the crappy part.
Would love to see Jorma and company in a small acoustic venue.

I meant to say it can also vary depending on where the wood sets were milled on the log. A few years of unfavorable weather and the grain lines would not be as far apart.

What wood is this, that came to be
on my guitar top, so grain-i-ly,
The man from Bozeman said Sitka Spruce,
but I think that it is Adiron-dack
It's Christmas somewhere.
Grain width can vary with many environmental factors, growing conditions, altitude, and age of the source tree.

I am now well into my third year of having no interest in snagging anything new to me. During that time, I have turned my back on instruments such as a 1947 Gibson-made National 1155 which just popped up on my doorstep and did not even take the 1957 J50 off the wall of a shop I had gone into to drop a guitar off for repairs. Still not feeling even the slightest twinge of longing or regret. The supreme test though came last weekend when I sold a guitar which I never would have parted with a few years earlier. Not only have I not had second thoughts about parting with the instrument but the fact that I could have made a lot more on the guitar had I not sold it somebody I knew at a deep "friend's discount" also does not matter. If anything, it is fairly liberating in that all the emotion is out of the equation. I can say one thing though which is that if I should break my self-imposed exile whether it be something old or new it is going to be one doozy of a guitar.
Why shouldn't your guitar fast still be holding? You've said "no matter what guitar I play, I still sound like me".
At least you haven't drank from the tone Kool-Aid that says only an old guitar will sound good to me. Right.

A guy started a thread, and said he just bought a 2014 model of the 1960's J-160E. Not sure if the 1960's and the 1962 model are the same beast.
Maybe Gibson can tell by looking at the cereal number

I'm sure you found it cause your font was so big, but if not there is a tab on top that says size. Up here.? /\ /\ /\
Maybe he is hard of seeing and the large font is better for him. The serial number will now be in Braille to help with inclusion of the visually impaired.

Not sure. I’ve claimed many times here I’m a meany and an A-hole. I guess I have thicker skin than some.
Appreciate you. But pre-apologizing for it, or "owning it" doesn't make it ok.

For Christmas I got a large hangover. But it's ok, I can exchange it for another size later.
Merry Christmas to all

Well, that was a bit rude. For a newb. Even if it is Sgt Peeper, he can stick his own foot in his own mouth, you don't have to do it for him. But judging by your other posts, that's what you do.

Have to add I work with the 2 nuts installed, but not the rectangular under-insert-plate some call a spring.
And your philosophy ?
I have worked with the 2 nuts installed also. But without the spring installed would be interesting.
There would likely be a higher frequency response on the gloss- some higher freakquincies. Possibly above dog whistle area. If you hear them, then good for you.
Just for fun.........

It would be guitar-ist to assume you were pulled over because you were Taylor. Maybe it was because it was a cutaway, or something else.
Happy NGD just the same
