Ricochet Jack Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I'm not a definitive yes or no yet, I'll wait till I get to play one. While I'm liking the headstock change and the color scheme, I do feel there should be some sort of change in the pickguard design. Maybe something to better match the truss rod cover?

SteveFord Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I like the color. Unbound rosewood fret board, flat head stock, $2800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eracer_Team Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Who's Lizzy Hale? Guess that's what shows of my knowledge on the "artist" version (Yes I saw the Gibson email on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's now the sum of what I know about her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) All the signature models that Gibson have done. Its a crime this guy doesn't have a sig 345. If you don't own Sunburst Finish, well what are you waiting for? This song is off Axe Victim. But hey, lets give Slash about 5 more sig models. Edited June 3, 2022 by Sgt.

Ricochet Jack Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 a couple of things I like to know about all signature models is... 1. How much does the artist get per guitar sold? ...I'm sure it varies per artist and how bad Gibson wants the contract? 2. The difference in units sold between the Gibson and Epiphone versions?

To answer your questions, #1 I've heard about 5%, but I could be wrong. #2 I don't think that info gets released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mihcmac Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) The Explorerbird looks like a very red Explorer with a Firebird stye headstock. hmmmm Edited June 4, 2022 by mihcmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrichard27 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Peter Frampton... Dave Mustaine.. Tony Iommi... Mike Ness... Gene Simmons.... Jerry Cantrell... Slash.. Joe Perry... Ha ha... Go ask any 16 year old kid if they know who any of these guys are.. With these endorsements, and the money these guitars costs, Gibson is definitely the guitar of choice for doctors and lawyers all around the world...

Sgt. Pepper Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 My thought are it's an Explorer body with a Firebird neck. If that's what Lzzy wants for your sig guitar, it looks like she got it. Its $800 more than a regular Explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't gotten any music from anyone who's name you mentioned in ages. Last Frampton I got was the live one, last Sabbath was Never Say Die, I don't own any Social D, last Kiss maybe Dynasty, last AIC was Dirt, and last Aerosmith was Night In The Ruts. Gibson is in the business of making and selling guitars through a middle man. They don't care if you can afford them, or not. They know there are those that can, and will pay for the G word on the headstock. I'm sure Gibson has lawyers in a secret underground dungeon, trying to figure out how they can get a cut of the profit when someone sells one of their guitars on the used market.

And likeI said, haven't listened to them yet. Maybe they're my new favorite band. From the news, it seems like they put the work in. I like that.

Pinch Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) I could probably make them a bit of money. I would have nixed the Modern V and gotten today's Standards into production years earlier. I have an idea or two that would definitely sell. They'd have to pay me, but not very much. It might actually be a good idea for them.
