Please post your Pics/reviews of your 2011 Gibson purchases....what a great year!!!! Here is my SOLE Gibson purchase this year....1947 Gibson L-7, I must say, in great shape and NOT just a jazz guitar...and all a-rounder......Pretty heavy, I only play it sitting...lol.....Shown side-by-side with my '23 L-2...another funky little guitar!

I got a 60's TV hbird special . for a special Gig next year(2012) .

I havn't played it . but Jeremy Fuller said it is a fantastic sounding guitar .

The Top was done by Ren . So I hope to be blown away when I play it next year.

 

 

and I also had a special SJ 200 made for my best friend.

There seem to be several new 'Birds this year with the pickguards on the wrong side and the saddle slanted the wrong way. Must be that lousy Gibson QC. [biggrin]

 

No "brand new" Gibsons for me this year, but one that's "new" to me: my 1947 L-7, the dusky sister to wily's "new" Blondie from the same year. 1947 was a pretty good year from my perspective. I was born in January, and my L-7 just a few months later.

No Gibson Acoustic purchase this year, but I did buy a Gibson ES-359 in June -

 

Approximately the same size as an LP, but semi-hollow and double cut. . B)

seemed like it was a hummingbird year ?? obviously not

looks like its just a case that hummingbird owners bum and blow a lot about their guitars huh? as if their flowery pickguards and honey sunbursts werent bling enough !

us j45 owners feel no need to say anything . we just hide our light under a bushel

:-P

 

( i do want a hummingbird though )
