jdgm Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 One for the ladies perhaps? The spec says the board is Richlite though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Specs say she comes with a one-piece Richlite fingerboard. Noble! EDIT: Sorry for being late with this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the other side Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Perhaps the intricate application of the ornate inlayments into a "Ritchlite" board. As, if I'm correct, "Ritchlite"is more difficult to work with ( including frets). And to add, a testing of the waters of a composite fretboard, and the acceptance of the substitute of a wooden fretboard ? That being said, why on one of their most famous "High end " guitars ?

Jesse_Dylan Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Hm. Guess if someone really likes blue, really likes bling, and is able to save up a lot of clams... They put out J-200s in all manner of colors, but I've never seen a weird color along with all that pearl. I got no problem with a Richlite board/bridge. It doesn't mean "cheaper," just means different. "Man-made ebony" is no weirder than the "man-made ivory" Gibson, Martin ("ivoroid") and others use as binding. Only difference is we except the plastic binding because it's been used since plastic was invented. If compressed wood fiber fingerboards/bridges had been invented back then, we'd probably accept them, too. Plastic makes good binding material, and compressed wood fiber makes a darn good fingerboard. It's more expensive and tougher to work with. Wouldn't want it on any of my classic guitars, but if my J-15 had come with it instead of walnut, it wouldn't have been a deal-breaker. (Actually, it is probably a better fingerboard than walnut... but I really like the walnut...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyboy Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 This seem to be a lot better deal than a $5,800+tax Martin ceo-8...I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Well for me I guess it's that I don't really care for blue guitars, (maybe I should say blue acoustic guitars) Maybe I'm just boring. But that one,, oyvhey! looks like Liberaci threw up on it. I'll take my boring old vintage sunburst SJ200 any day. It is possible that in person, it would be different... but I Don't think so... if it makes someone else happy, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 No accounting for taste, as my current pet hate is the row of identical apartments with identical burgundy mini four wheel drives out the front.....

drathbun Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I was in a Gibson factory tour with Jeremy a couple of years ago and one of the guys on the line was working on a trans blue J200 with crazy quilted maple. I'm not fond of blue guitars either but it was stunning up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 I guess the blue on it's own isn't as off putting but the BLING with the inlays and what ever the heck that pickgaurd is.. man it's gag-worthy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafy31 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 The richlite thing is surprising... But overall i feel bad ... maybe i'm the only one but i kinda like this blue wood with its blue inlays. However, i would probably spend my money on something more conventionnal.

kidblast Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 don't feel bad, everyone has a different eye. I admire the work that goes into these. but the looks of it all just escape me completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojorule Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark! Mojorule!!...hope you are not a zombie .How ya bin? Undead, Flatters, undead: thanks for asking. :blink: So little time these days, but checked in to see what the semi-players have to say about the new VOS 1958 ES335. Played one and it was just stunning. When I win the lottery I will buy one. Once back into the merry old land of Oz, I found that the really class company is still down this end of the yellow brick road. Couldn't resist this thread. Hope you're still entertaining the critters Down Under. Apparently we'll be able to buy overpriced guitars from your neck of the woods in about 2019, as by then deals from Thomann will probably be a thing of the past. EuroAussie will probably be a multi-millionaire by then, and ParlourMan will have been deported from Luxembourg. Anyway, back to the topic. Rather richlite than coprolite, I suppose.

I don't care for the bridge and the pickguard decoration and stuff, but I like the weird woody purple and some of the other decoration. But yeah, you're right, and I forgot about that one.
