Pesh Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 That site has been saying "coming soon" for months now...! Hurry up, Gibson! Liking the J-200 Parlour, with exception of the inlays - not very attractive. And the blue SJ-200! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liking the J-200 Parlour, with exception of the inlays - not very attractive. And the blue SJ-200! most of those are already out. if not all of them. we got most of ours a while ago. somewhere is a thread where I put all of the specs for these models and what month they would be released. -Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisrownSal Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Weird... no mention of the J15 in 2013 and 2014? Or are my eyes lyin', or is Gibson just being Gibson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Weird... no mention of the J15 in 2013 and 2014? Or are my eyes lyin', or is Gibson just being Gibson? Maybe they are so busy making special editions they do not have time for the standard issue guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty55 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks for posting the link JC. So strange to have a guitar in hand that is not listed on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djw171 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 My local store got the J-45 Ice Tea in a couple of weeks ago, still has it. Plays very nice. Selling for $2999 Canadian. A regular J45 now sells for $2400. I saw this press release just a couple of days ago, before I saw this thread. The SJ100 Special really caught my eye. Limited to 65 pieces and selling for $3400 Canadian. Think I'll have to skip it since I just purchased a J15 four weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanCarlosVejar Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 If I could ever ask for something it would be an L 200 all koa with red spruce bracing ! Of course they would have to make it available in lefty and righty . I wish Elliot Easton would colaborate with gibson montana .he already did an SG with Gibson Custom and a Tikibird with Gibson USA JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Isn't a 3/4 size Hummingbird just a LG-2 minus the bling? Martin has the Dreadnaught Junior newly released….they will sell a LOT of these…I'm sure Gibson will jump on this bandwagon when they see how many Martin sells of this model: https://www.martinguitar.com/new/item/3766-dreadnought-junior.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Played today in my guitar shop a 'quilted mahogany' and 'Ice Tea' burst J-45, fantastic tone. Also played probably the best new J-45 standard Ive come across that can give any TV a run for its money. Amazingly deep and rich tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin does that by making them in Mexico. Gibson doesn't have a plant there so they wouldn't be able to hit the price point. making it a 3/4 doesn't really cut down that much on materials, and doesn't cut back any on labor. Lot's of people have asked. but basically it couldn't be any cheaper than a J15 really. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfbird Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 If the Martin Dreadnought Jr. is anything like the Little Martin I have, it's just another novelty item that will lose its flavor. I've asked several friends how often they reach for their Little Martin and all admitted that it never gained favor among them. It's on my list of things to sell.
