duluthdan Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Viewed before, but here's the Acoustic Letter review w Tony. I know I am not the traget market for this finish - wonder about others thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParlourMan Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I think it actually looks better in the vid than the stills I've seen of it. Looks bubbly from a distance in the pics. Probably looks better up close than in pics (but is that saying much?) . Not wild on it but nice to see other burst/finish options are on the go.

j45nick Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I think that burst makes it look like an Esteban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankytele Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 The Denver GC had three guitars in that finish. A J-45, a Hummingbird Pro, and also a Songwriter Deluxe. My take on the finish is that it was really nice looking. I had the pleasure of seeing them all together and found all three to really consistent in color but more more brown than in the MV video demo. On top of that they had a new J-35. I was really glad I dropped in because that was about 3 hours of cheap entertainment. The setups on all four were really good to go. Gibson has a great showing there in the back area of the acoustic room. My impression was that the Hummingbird Pro was the one of those four that I would have bought if they took monopoly money. Haaha. But the finish didn't bother me at all. That said, I thought it I read it was called Cocoaburst. I must have drunk on the fumes of so many instruments, which is totally possible.

MissouriPicker Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Sounds real good to my ears. I typically don't like that dark of a finish, but I would like to see one in-person. Just don't like black guitars, but this dark burst is pretty interesting. It might not be as dark as some parts appear on the video.. I'd like to see the details of the wood in daylight.

Motherofpearl Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Not a fan. But pics and videos do guitars no justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jannusguy2 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Can't stand those tuners. Those should only appear on D28s. I like the finish, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanstreak Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I like it myself. One thing I don't get is why the Gibson listed MSRP for the Cobra Burst is $136 lower than the J-45 Standard MSRP, but all the advertised street prices are $200 higher for the Cobra Burst.

RunningDownTheR Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I I listened to many of this dudes videos and he sure makes every guitar sound like the one! At first I didn't really like the cobra burst but it is beginning to grow on me. I need to see one in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajsc Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Just looks like a "black" J-45 to me! This video really doesn't show how the guitar actually looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
