Acoustic Specifications ?


Sitedrifter

Recommended Posts

Is there a place on Gibson's website that you can get specifications for an out of production guitar? It seems Gibson removes the specifications page when the guitar goes out of production. This is not helpful since many dealers have out of production guitars hanging on the wall. Kind of hurts the ability to research the guitar before buying it. (I don't like to solely rely on the dealer for info)

 

Hopefully I am missing where it is on Gibson's website and would appreciate if it can be pointed out as to where this info is hiding.

 

 

Thanks

actually yes at the bottom of the gibson acoustic page on the left side of the screen you can click a tab that says "Show Out Of Production"

just click it and you can see all the out of production stuff + the current stuff

Drifter ...... go to this site http://www2.gibson.c...n-Acoustic.aspx

 

There are 7 pages ..... mixed in are 4 pages of out of production. Be sure out of production is checked to get all 7.

Once you click on the guitar in which you are interested, you can click on the spec connection or the description.

 

If that doesn't work for you, tell us specifically which instrument you are interested in and someone here will know most of the specs

I see the 7 pages, I see the out of production guitar I am interested in but when I click on it, the only choices are the following Tabs:

 

Home: Features: 5 Star Dealers: Buy Now

 

 

The Specifications Tab is missing and the info on the Features Tab is just marketing stuff basically.

 

 

 

I am interested in the Western Classic Prewar 200
