Lars68 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 The blue Hummingbird is not one I'm particularly drawn to. However, I think it's pretty clear Miranda Lambert is a talented musician, deserving her own Gibson sig guitar. If only forum-approved artists were to get signature guitar, hardly anyone below the age of fifty would buy one. Gibson is in the business of selling guitars, not giving out signature guitars as awards to artists this forum deems worthy. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 It looks and reads pretty much like a Standard bird (which is great to begin with). I could probably live with a blue guitar, but I’ve already got a great bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joke is - Miranda Lambert would be laughing hysterically if she read this thread in between her concerts and studio sessions. To clarify - the point Lars68 made was that WE HERE are not The Bozeman Marketing sub-committee, nor are we even their target market. Not a 'focus group'... Some of us don't even actually OWN any Gibson Acoustics. Many haven't bought one in this century. So when we start pixxing about them producing a Blue H'Bird Signature Model ... I'm guessing the Bozeman employee assigned to 'monitor' this forum is being punished. This is his "Time Out" for too many glue drops inside the body.

That little girl she wants to inspire to play guitar better start saving her money. $4649 is a lot of shifts at Mickey D’s saying “fries with that”. Or just having a nice padded trust fund from daddy works too. No on from Gibson is reading this. Certainly not the new head honcho. Edited August 13, 2023 by Sgt.

scriv58 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I like the blue guitar and Miranda Lambert as well - anyone who titles her album "Crazy Ex-girlfriend" deserves a listen. The first two Pistol Annie's releases are very good- in my ears, at least. One member, Angeleena Presley, put out a great release in 2014 "American Middle Class". I don't get all the bile and venom spewed against someone, I suppose it is queen jealousy desiring the same talent and success, rather than long hours spent before a lonely keyboard. 'Nuff said, I've used up too many words - please excuse as I go gain some inspiration from Miranda. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me what girl has 4k of disposable income to spend on a blue guitar? Did you read press release of her wanting to inspire young girls to play. That’s outstanding. A 4k guitar is not going to make that happen. It’s called reality. Its Gibson being Gibson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the targeted demographics for Taylor and Miranda would be different. I'm not a fan or am I familiar with either and don't have an opinion of either so I guess 70+ year old men don't fall into either demographic, but I do buy a lot of new Gibson's.

But in guitar culture even if you are not into the music, surely you would’ve heard of Dave Mustaine? Many of us are of a time when there was no "guitar culture". We weren't staring at our phones all day, browsing our tablets, surfing our laptops all night. We didn't consume all possible internet knowledge every day. We played the guitar, most of us in bands, most of us trying to make a living at it and in my case failing and having to keep a job. But out every weekend with a guitar if possible. It's not the same as owning guitars and blabbing about them all day on the internet, so it is quite possible and normal for lots of guitar players of a certain generation to not have heard of lots of other guitar players. rct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) Just a generation gap. I grew up in the 50’s and early 60’s. You may have heard of some of my guitar hero’s but maybe not all of them. Hank Garland, Billy Byrd ( these two gave us the Byrdland guitar), Harold Bradley, James Burton, Scotty Moore, Chuck Berry, Chet Atkins. There were many more as I grew older. Even though I don’t /didn’t keep up with the next generations, if I saw a video of some of the popular musicians of the day, I was impressed. I just didn’t get obsessed with them or follow their careers. I watched HardRock Vault video with John5 playing some guitars they pulled out of their vault. He blew me away. I still do not have any desire to follow his career in Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie and Motley Crew (I had to look those up) Edited August 15, 2023 by Dave F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
