wolfhound mac Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Hello, can someone please help me find out if this is a limited issue model? Can't find much info on it? It is a 2006 model. Is it really a Gibson? I have the serial# of 01386033 which tells me that this was made May 18, 2006 at the Bozemon Montana factory and was the 33rd. I am concerned that there is no information on this model available on the Gibson site ? Please help !!!
wolfhound mac Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 Help, I am supposed to pick this up tonight , but still have found no information. I don't want to buy this if it is not real, Thanks,
kidblast Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 seems the forumites can't offer any concrete advice, I am not familiar with this either and the photo is no where near detailed enough nor are there enough photos in general to call out a fake. In this case, I'd call customer service.
Dave F Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I've seen a few. Looks legit. Good luck. Here's a reference from Reverb https://reverb.com/price-guide/guide/5470-gibson-j-180ec-2000-black
Pesh Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 And a link to an older post on MF; can't buy one, but contains the basics and some reviews. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/gibson-j-180ec-special-acoustic-electric-guitar/517175

I'm quite sure it was legit, but it was actually quite shoddy workmanship for a Gibson. The nut was lifting from the neck on one side and one of the machine heads was actually a bit crooked. When I played it it sounded dull with no ring whatsoever ! When it comes to hit and miss this one missed.
wolfhound mac Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 I will find the right one eventually!!
Pesh Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 That you will! And then you will find another, and another, and those of us here will help make you poor
kidblast Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 btw... not that I like enabling people's GAS afflictions, .. but.. there's a real nice J45 and a "just as nice" humming bird in the Trading Post right now the J45 price is hard to beat! http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/forum/71-the-trading-post/

Its a beautiful beast, but its also in the US and us Canadians would have to add approximately $1500.00 on to that selling price just to cover exchange, shipping and duties.
