AXE® Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan H Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Haha yeah I noticed that too ? Well, maybe Gibson has realized that when people hear "nitrocellulose" they immediately think "OMG THAT'S GOOD" so they decided to just tack it on to everything. Just wait, in a month they'll have "lightweight nitrocellulose tailpiece", "pickups wound with nitrocellulose wire" :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Maybe they meant celluloid, the stuff they made my good picks out of and my good pens. Hard to get these days, only made outside Americur because it so poisons the world to make it, like tubes. Mighta meant that and Word Perfect let it pass for the copy. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'm liking that Robot Studio! That will hit the U.S. stores for about $1499. May be worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbreslauer Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 As an ex-Dark Fire and current BFG owner (both of which i liked/like a lot), this Studio is very interesting... it's a very nice pickup configuration. I wonder what the street $ is gonna be on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the street $ is gonna be on it. BFGs ROCK !! :) I had a Gary Moore one, but as much as I loved the pickups and the look.. I never quite got on with the neck as I only really like 60s type necks.. If they ever release a BFG with a 60s I will be there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Well, maybe Gibson has realized that when people hear "nitrocellulose" they immediately think "OMG THAT'S GOOD" so they decided to just tack it on to everything. Just wait, in a month they'll have "lightweight nitrocellulose tailpiece", "pickups wound with nitrocellulose wire" :P Gibson used nitro inlays originally, before they introduced acrylic. If anything, they are trying to appeal to cork-sniffers/traditionalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
