Hall Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I have a J-150 from what, the 90ies? I don't have it out right now to check exact new purchase date. If the N.G. matches such, it will be a great guitar. But, if it has an artist's name on it, there goes the price I imagine. And that would defeat the original idea of the J-150. Love the unbound neck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatgumbino Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Thanks for posting this! I'm excited to find out more on it. Looks to be a VOS type finish, no? Curious to see what they price it at. The SJ200 studio walnut is $3,150 and the rosewood is $3,649. Hoping it's affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 it looks lovely... I love the Brown case too, but they have yet to figure out hot to get the case lid strap fold IN TO the case instead of hanging out side the lid when closed. Even $100 gator cases have this solved, not a big deal but one that makes some of us go,, "Well? Really?" But I digress....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimt Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I wonder if Gibson is selling those stands? I would not mind a few of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobouz Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 In 2001, I bought a new J-150, and was quite pleased with it until I eventually realized it had a bit of a twist in the maple neck, impacting overall playability. Tonally, it was very nicely balanced & recorded well. Enjoy JC, it looks like it should be a good one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroAussie Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) My 2002 J-150 is by far my favourite Gibson in the stable, and also one of the very best super jumbo Gibbies Ive played. It looks great also. I hope this will be a winner for Gibson, but Im also very very curious what the price point will be - in theory it should be a good chunk lower that an SJ-200 Standard ...lets see. Although ... a few years ago he did switch from the J-150 to a D-28 that he seems to be playing mainly now. Here is a really lovelly performance with him on the before mentioned J-150.

EA, He did use a D 28 for a while when his new namesake band started ...I’m sure he wanted to get away from the J 150 sound associated with Oasis and give his band a chance to stand on its own sonic merits . But after a while he reverted back to his J 150 as the main instrument so much so that he even purchased a blonde J 150 : The D 28 still makes an appearance in his live show but it’s not his main instrument.

fortyearspickn Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I guess that says it all. Thanks JcV ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 It's a handsome guitar and I'm sure it will sound superb, but what is the deal with these weird "orange peel" lacquer finishes that Gibson have been using on certain acoustics recently? I am all for gloss, satin or matt finishes, but I keep seeing the type of finish beading/pooling that usually indicates silicone ingress prior to spraying, which is very visible on the headstock of this guitar. Is this a vintage correct spec lacquer or just curious finishing practice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Oh, Im glad he went back to the J-150, it really sounded great, odd seeing him with a blonde though. Kelly Jones from Stereophonics is another big J-150 fan, and it really sounds great in his hands, here is a sample of it with a mike out the front. And mine after I updated the pickgurard a few years ago, I love this guitar ... bought it for $1,400 some 10 years ago ... bargain !

thegreatgumbino Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I sure wish they’d announce the specs and release it. Hoping it’s a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some members here have buffed them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violeiro Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Wow, pretty awesome... now I want one 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hall Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I am one who buffed (hand only) my SJ with that finish, but only to obtain a gloss. While it reduced the orange peel to some real extent, it did not remove it entirely. It' now a much milder orange peel with a gloss! At some angles and lightings, or next to another guitar, I still can pick up on it. Again, I didn't do any heavy buffing. I just removed the haze and made it shine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Nice that he comes out and insults the city he is playing in. Sig model . . . I'm gonna guess $4549. That is my final offer. Edited April 6, 2021 by Sgt.

I don’t have a major issue with it, I’m just curious about it as I’ve seen it a lot over the last year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
