Duende Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 it sucks really because as a VM owner...i purposely bought my guitar partially because of the finish... i liked the raw wood! and the BB Pro's and the Mahogany top and body! now that they offer all studios in that configuration it cheapens my experience! haha not too much though! lay it on brother! I am another raw wood lover! The so called cheaper faded finishes by Gibson are actually my favourite, The tone just seems so superior to my ears! I have sanded the necks of many of my guitars and my Classical Guitar that is being for me is going to be 'real feeling' like playing a tree LOL Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agiant Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 it sucks really because as a VM owner...i purposely bought my guitar partially because of the finish... i liked the raw wood! and the BB Pro's and the Mahogany top and body! I love the natural brown finish too' date=' as I love the old firebrand series aestetics... I didn't buy it because it was cheaper than other studios. In fact, I don't like the painted studios and I'd never buy, for example, a black one. now that they offer all studios in that configuration it cheapens my experience! haha Uhm, as far I know, the VM was not a high end gibson, anyway sorry for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
