Hogeye Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 A "bunch of wheat"??? LOL What a maroon!!! It's even more amusing when you know that Montana's moto is Oro-y-Plata. Gold and Silver. The maroon in marketing had no idea of what he was doing and chose to go with the wheat theme. Don't ask. No one knows why. It's just another in a long list of silly marketing decisions that were made at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzpunk67 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 My Gibson is a 12 Fret Southern Jumbo. It's got adirondack top and hide glue construction (I can see the white drips on the braces) and vintage style white tuners and vintage sunburst. It's stamped on the back and label Custom Shop. It's got almost all the same specs as a true vintage. The biggest difference in the two is that mine has the black and blue interior case instead of the True Vintage tan and pink interior case. Keith at Bailey brothers told me that only the True Vintage guitars come with that case and they don't even sell that case. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
