  1. Thank you all; I'm happy to have relaunched this subject and that my admiration to KB is shared by many on this forum I have something on my mind I have to let out: if the Pups used on Midnight blues are CC, why is the sound so clean and pure ??? while the CC are said to be noisy ?????
  2. Thank you all! JimR your guitar featuring th CC is fantastic. I thought these pick ups were kind of prototypes of humbuckuers not used in regular production. GIbson is still ables to produce them ??? how do they cope with modern amps
  3. Hi! It will seem weird , but at more than 60 I've just discovered the record "midnight blue" The disc is 24 hours in my CD player. I'm crazy about the sound, so my question: is it a 175 ? wath kind of pups ? the sound is less "woody" than the other recordings with ES175s; it's more clean and.... lets say "electric" any informations ???
  4. Hi guys I'm a bit confused: my 2014 359 has this serial number: ME401562 I've had it with the COA and the inside sticker is a Memphis one. is the meaning of the SN: ME =Memphis 4=2014 0???????????? 1562 1562eme guitar of the year ??
  5. You know too well how it occurs!

    I wanted to offer myself a new axe as a retirement gift.I hesitated for a while between 335/137/195 as I play jazz and blues ( amateur level).

    I did not include the 359 because none was to be seen and it was too pricey.

    And one day a miracle ( seldom happens with Gibson in Europe) a 359 showed up in my town. Could not resist>>a jewel,...

  6. Yeah its time for another Gibson lol

  7. +1 yes you are right, I was referring more to she shape and size. I tried an ES195 and was really enthusiastic,it could have be perfect for my taste but I do not use a Bigsby (althought I admit that it looks stunning on this guitar!!) and I appreciated the P94 sound but I like more the classic 57. I have been also amazed by the sustain ; I' ve always thought that guitars with a center block had more sustain than hollow bodies , may be on the 195 the sustain comes from the taipiece ? I had noticed that on my epi Emperor. If one has the use of the Bigsby , this guitar is a good choice, a pleasure to play lighter than the 137. I hope Gibson will coninue this model, with the present specs or not.
  8. Hi guys; if they go on modifying the ES195 they will meet what many customers are waiting for: ES195 without Bigsby and with Classic 57. It will be closer to an ES137 Custom ,but with a more friendly Neck and if they keep the Amber finish and a decent price they will sell thousands. The present model is filling the on line shops stores( in Europe at least); it seems that the customers are not crazy about this model as they were with the first batches of ES339 some years ago ( no one was to be seen for months after the sale of the first batches in some weeks)
