daveinspain Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Has anyone who's purchase a new Gibson lately noticed a very heavy Vanilla smell when you open the case? My 2007 LP classic didn't have it but my Robot and ES 339 smell like a French whore house... Of course I have never been to a French whore house but it's the smell I would imagine they have.... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleSixx Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Wish my Studio smelled like vanilla when I opened the case. The smells wears off, like many smells. What I did was whenever I played I left the case open, it eventually wore off. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plank_Spanker Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I ordered my SG Classic. The case and the guitar smelled like nitro........................I guess it was freshly minted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaresz Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I agree, that smell is pure nirvana! I have found that using Gibson's pump polish prior to storing it back into the case enhances the smell. I love the way that stuff smells. Just don't try using it as a colonge, it does nothing for the ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPDEN Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I thought a read an actual news story not all that long ago that the "NEW CAR SMELL" is actually dangerous to your health. Something bout all the gules and plastics, etc... being inhaled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPDEN Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Well, the article I found wasn't too recent since it's an '05 article... But here it is ABC News Be careful smelling those cases for too long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPRIDER Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Are you saying that they "Gibson" are trying to cover up a stinking smell...perhaps putting cologne on there guitars, they are made in Tennesse by the way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
