QuestionMark Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Just got an email from Fuller’s about their now carrying Gibsons, again! JC is showing he’s doing something right at Gibsons’ helm! QM aka: “ Jazzman” Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Our nearby GC has a brand new standard bird. That store hasn't had a new one in at least 9-10 years. Maybe some things really are changing. Hope so! [thumbup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Fuller's was--and I hope will be again--a special Gibson dealer, commissioning dealer-specified runs of a variety of models. I believe they also had an active special order program for individual guitars. JCV in this forum could comment on that. I have a Fuller's 1943 SJ re-issue that is a great guitar. They apparently commissioned several runs of these over the years, with period-correct features such as a 19-fret neck and belly-down bridge with slot-through saddle. Even though I wasn't the original owner, and they didn't make a nickel from my purchase of the guitar, they were more than happy to verify its details and provenance. Those are the type of dealers Gibson needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Fuller's has been posting new acoustic and electruc arrivals on their Instagram account since Febuary, and teased their reassociation with Gibson before that. I've been following happily, and also admiring the pictures of the vintage Gibsons they get in for trade or repair. Oh yeah, they sell other brands, but they don't move me like our preferred brand... I sure do hope they resume specing their own exclusive models again, too. My Fuller's Vintage Guitar 1939 J-35 Reissue is a fine, fine guitar.

Dave F Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Stopped in at my local music store (Willis) today. They dropped Gibson a couple years ago when things got crazy. They are now a Gibson dealer and waiting on the stock to arrive. I hope they do better on the acoustics than what they did in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelly campbell Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Great news! I hope that trend filters into my area. Sweet water has always had them but the other stores around like GC and Sam Ash has always just ahd a couple. The small shops around here have never had them. When I say never or always I am just talking to my recollection. last 10 years maybe. Anyway Great news for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
