charlie brown Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Wow, one's gone for a bit, and they remove the "Lifestyle" section (and news & Forum), on the Gibson Website? Is this permanent, or just growing pains, with the new ownership, and restructuring? Curious=nosy minds, want to know! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Let us not forget the price tag, only $4599! I'd better get one for each hand. https://www.gibson.c...Maestro-Vibrola You can find the News and Forum section down on the bottom. The Forum is on the far right with the Facebook junk.

darling67 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Seems the entire site has been gutted. I used to love looking at all the past, present, out of production, etc. guitars and all the details about them... But now, each category is limited in scope. The SG section is kind'a sparse, for one. I know there are more SG models than what's being shown! Oh, well. The only thing that stays the same is how things will always change.

Larsongs Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 The Gibson Lifestyle Business Model seems to have gone with Henry..... I think there is a lot of confusion on Gibson. Models & pricing.. Although that isn't really new... There are Std. Models & CS Models.. We're waiting to see how the new Model Line will Roll out & the Pricing for all Models.. As for Gibson American SG with Maestro these are also available....MAP $1899.00... I saw them at NAMM & even though I'm not an SG Guy i would like to have one..

charlie brown Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yeah, lots of changes! Some are cool (scaling back on too similar models, etc.), and some are disappointing, like price increases, etc. But, that's par for the course, I suppose? Yeah, the '64 SG has all the right bevels, and horn tapering, as near as I can tell! The 2019 '61 seems quite decent, in that area, as well. And, considering the current price structure, is the more affordable, at $1,799, since the CS '64 is well over twice that! Even so, I still wish the Best, for Gibson, "die hard" fan, that I am, in spite of the silly prices! Cheers, ALL! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darling67 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 My question has been for a while now... What the hell happened to the site, in general??? No more all-inclusive run-down of all previous years' models, Limited Editions, Out of Production.... specs, etc., etc.? Only 2019 models—and even those are not complete, by any means. Gah! OH, I see I replied to this thread a couple weeks ago! I knew it sounded familiar. But it appears as if that "Lifestyle" section is back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 They've been very busy. Take the Thunderbird bass, for instance. It has a number of novel features including six (surprisingly light gauge) strings. https://www.gibson.com/Guitar/USAFQL802/Thunderbird-Bass-2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
