His pants are to tight, but he ain’t no Ken in a cowboy hat. Kris is a great songwriter, but not a great singer. Dwight had a sig D-28 too. How about an SG or Flying V or Explorer?

ruger9 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I agree the "signature" thing has a gotten silly. Nathaniel Rateliff??? I dig his music, but he doesn't rate a signature model IMO. Many sig models these days are from new artists I've never heard of. Fender is a big perpetrator. And yes: the RNR HOF means nothing, unfortunately. But back to Miranda's blue guitar: it's pretty. If I dug blue guitars, I'd buy it... except it's overpriced. But most sig models are of course. I own a PRS DGT Core... talk about overpriced (fantastic guitar tho) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. this just goes to show that it's all subjective- i have no idea who you're talking about. I picked up guitar because of noel gallagher. other folks, miranda lambert or nathaniel rateliff. change is the only constant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She writes her songs on guitar. She plays live all the time. Unless your next comment is going to be "it's probably not plugged in"... not sure why you have such a hate on for her, but she does write and play. Her guitars aren't "props". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I can't say that I am a fan of hers, I agree she is nice to look at but she falls into the new country which I can not stand. I have heard her speak it is dripping with countless "Ya'lls" . To me she like many others today think it is cool to drop the right wordsnot only in songs but in the dialogue to prove to their fans they really are country. I dont really do signature guitars either. This guitar will be a pass for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Gibson had for awhile, may have again - a J45 that came in "Pelham Blue". Dave F noted above the beautiful blue (lefty) H'Bird that member emeritus Buc had. I guess I don't understand why people who love electric guitars painted with neon purple and glitter will get apoplectic over an acoustic stained in a primary color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's won more awards from the Academy of Country Music than any other artist in history. Been performing for over 20 years. Photos of her playing an H'Bird almost as long. With major success and collaborations, 'Pistol Annies' just to name one. So - IF the reason for this guitar is because she wants to inspire little girls to play and enjoy guitar, I'd say collaborating with Gibson to come up with a "BlueBird" is a good way of doing it. Or should she have gotten her name on a $300 Mexi-Martin? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanCarlosVejar Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Blue is my favorite color . She’s been a Gibson artist for a long time , congrats and I hope some grandparents are in a position to gift this guitar to their granddaughters. If they can make it in lefty , i’ll do my best to get one . Blue and Texas are two important things in my life . As a Hummingbird freak and fanatic I love it .
