Hype Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Thoughts? Appears to be a “Hummingbird” painted “BlueBonnet”.https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Acoustic-Guitar/Miranda-Lambert-Bluebird/Bluebonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 You know, I don't usually like blue guitars, but I do think that is pretty cool looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 They will give any Ken in a cowboy hat and a Barbie in boots a sig model to make a buck. I have heard a song or two from her, and it ain't the country I like. She is pretty easy to look at. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s a nice looking guitar so it’s all good. You’ll probably have her beat in the skills department. She only knows a few cowboy chords if that.

G Man Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I dig it, wouldn't own one, but I have a thing for blue guitars and this one has a certain sexiness about it. Don't really know much about Maranda Lambert, don't really do signature guitars, so a firm no on owning one, but I appreciate the effort on Gibson Montana's part.

She does have me beat in the breast department. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruger9 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 It's cool if you like blue guitars. Miranda is a real-deal songwriter, she writes most of her own stuff, and has since she was a teenager. She's very talented, like her or not. She certainly knows more chords than Taylor Swift... who is also talented, like her or not. (personally, I'm an old-school outlaw country guy, so these artists' current music isn't my bag. I did like like Miranda's first 3 albums tho (she has 9 major label albums).

A kid with a laptop in his parents basement can write lyrics and make an album. There are lots of songwriters out there. Some people, that’s all they do then Nashville says okay Ken, okay Barbie record this or move on and get told by the next label the same thing. Edited August 8, 2023 by Sgt.

Sgt. Pepper Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) At $4649, I doubt it it will inspire girls to play. First your out of your mind Miranda if you think, now these are the exact words of the article, young girls, can afford it. Anyone know a 15 year old girl with an extra $4649 lying around? https://www.guitarworld.com/news/gibson-miranda-lambert-bluebird-hummingbird Edited August 8, 2023 by Sgt.

But album sales and hits do mean something. Yes, both Justin Bieber and Willie Nelson have achieved both, and no they are not comparable, but it does mean something. Taylor Swift is selling out stadiums. Like her or not, she's a huge and talented star. Just because you may not like her music doesn't mean it's not good, it just means it's not good TO YOU. Millions of people think you're wrong lol. I have music I can't stand either. The current bro country thing is godawful. The difference is, in 10 years no one will care who Florida Georgia Line was. In 10 years Miranda Lambert will still be appearing on the opry, and in 20 years Taylor Swift will still be one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) female singing start of all-time (she just surpassed the former female singer album sales leader, Barbara Streisand.)

I know T S is selling out stadiums. The Rolling Stones could announce tomorrow they are playing 14 days straight at MSG and sell everyone of them out, but their a joke now, and have been for a long time. Album sales mean nothing in this day and age. Artists make $ touring. That’s why when we masked up it killed the nobody’s that depended on touring to live. U2 were fine, The Stones were fine, but your Ken and Barbie nobody’s who just got signed, better have had something to fall back on. They were not fine. Oh and cause it’s a joke too, just induct T S to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame tomorrow. That means nothing either. Edited August 8, 2023 by Sgt.

cunningham26 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) im not a big blue guitar guy but i really dig the pickguard on it. always loved the humminbird- my first acoustic was an epi version Edited August 8, 2023 by cunningham26 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was, Gibson has a tendency to put out artist models honoring people that, in my opinion, haven't contributed enough to warrant it. I was being sarcastic, wondering why those other Gibson players haven't gotten their signature models yet. And Bill Haley died 42 years ago.

As seemingly the only person that has bought the epi zephyr so far, i would be all for these sig models, but i may just be your buddy in my example! And clearly a sig model is not a rite of passage into the guitar hall of fame, it's a way to tap into the overlapping circles of guitar players, money havers, and fans of _____. Sheryl Crow may be the only signature (in recent memory) that people bought because of the quality of the instrument vs. fandom, and over on the dark side the best recent example is the johnny marr jag which is far and away the best signature guitar i've encountered in my time. apart from that time i played a nick lucas i guess Edited August 8, 2023 by cunningham26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del Reeves SJ? What about the Bill Nelson ES-345. Nope a Barbie Blue Guitar. Bill plays guitar, Miranda she may strum it, but did she inspire you to pick up a guitar, or was it someone else. I’ll bet it was someone else. Page, Hendrix, EVH or Rhodes maybe, not Lambert. remember the first time you heard Eruption? I sure do I was at my cousins house, and I was floored. I couldn’t name one Miranda Lambert song. Edited August 9, 2023 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
