This is a thread for Gibson guitars only. Here are the Gibsons that I have picked up over the years.

My modest Gibson collection

My three Gibsons.

And if I may slip this in, my Maestro by Gibson double-cut. 

A surprisingly good sounding guitar.

Here are mine.

The '87 SG Special and the '83 CSE Korina Explorer are mine. The rest were for sale at the Gibson Memphis, TN factory store just before the factory closed.

Since I began playing the guitar about 61 years ago, I've only had one Gibson. 

It is a 2001 burst-finish  j-45 I bought about seven or eight years ago.

I don't bother to post pictures of it, as it looks pretty much like every other

j-45 finished that way, and I assume most Gibsonians would know what it looks like anyway.

I haven't taken any group shots of just my Gibsons.

Aw thanks, I wish I could say I was being shrewd, or strategic, but they were all pretty much bumbling accidents being in the right place at the right time.  Usually we were out searching for something completely different.  

[merciful-evans]

So far I've not sold a Gibson on. So these are current

Maybe so…. But you got a ‘Bird, Dove, J-45, ES & an L1….you covered all the bases!   (For me, at least).

Grin, yeah, we feel the same way.  About the only thing I’m still in the hunt for is that slippery regular hog J-45, (mine is a walnut studio so it is brighter) but that urge has moved down the craving ladder a bit.  

The Lucille though, has nudged open the door on electrics.  My wife initially wasn’t that fond of it, being so much heavier, but as I suspected, she is warming up to it.  

I’m worried about where we may be heading next if she gets bit by the PUP bug 😁

Duane,    Wowsers !    Something for everyone !.     The SJ200 Vine should be in a bullet proof glass, climate controlled display case !  The back is as purdy as the front.  Sort of like a Playboy Centerfold.....

At the time I only paid $4999 new out the door for the Vine. I added a Fisher pup to it about two years ago because it didn't come with any electronics.

In my insatiable desire for all things sparkly, I now have fatal case of inlay lust… that Vine is just breathtaking. Congrats, and the others are way cool too!
