guitarstrummer Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I don't know how accurate this information is, but this is about the only thing I could find regarding new Gibson acoustics at NAMM. If this information is correct, it looks like they are coming out with some new cutaway models. http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/news_story/a/news_id/e/1840 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer Roy Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I think that the merger announcement was the big news from Gibson.... http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&STORY=/www/story/01-18-2008/0004739060&EDATE= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maninblack Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I must disagree with 007. That EC Century of Progress model sounds incredible. My wife is a Costello fanatic, so making this sale on the homefront could be realtively easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I think that a Century-of-Progress, done the right way with adi top and bracing and hide glue, is a pretty cool thing (so long as Gibson doesn't put Costello's signature on any surface but the interior label). My own 1935 did a small star turn in Frets Magazine a few years ago. Here is its latest pic, taken in the X-ray room: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarstrummer Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 As a side note, it has always bothered me that there's very little press available about Gibson's acoustic line, especially when it comes to NAMM. They always are quick to announce things on the electric side, but the acoustic shop always seems to be the "step-child". There is a lengthy article on Gibson's webpage about all of the electrics that were introduced at NAMM, but I couldn't find anything on the acoustics. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that the electric side is probably their bread and butter, but it would be nice to see some press on the acoustics as well.

But with all the great past acoustic models that Gibson has the opportunity to re-release, this one seems anti-climatic to me. What about these: Roy Smeck Nick Lucas Country & Western LG-1 Original Jumbo J-55 (w/ mustache) CF-100 FJN I know, I know: custom shop can make anything I want. But that is not the point: Wouln't one of these make a neat addition to the regular production line?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always_Black Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 ........Wouln't one of these make a neat addition to the regular production line?? Absolutely !
