CowboyBillyBob1 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Supposed to be baked maple. Thanks! I thought baked maple was much lighter in color than that picture shows. I can see the specs on Gibson's web site says Baked Maple but it sure does not look like it. You learn something new everyday. Way cool looking guitar. I am sure it plays and sounds as good as it looks. I'd like to have one. Congrat's mud guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Moore Tribute Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I thought baked maple was much lighter in color than that picture shows. I can see the specs on Gibson's web site says Baked Maple but it sure does not look like it. You learn something new everyday. After the initial batch that was a mixed bag I've seen that they all come into the stores with a darkened finish, I guess Gibson where listening to us about our impression of the lighter shades...

pippy Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Congrats. It's a lovely-looking guit! Enjoy! I wonder why Gibson is calling it the 'Junior Special', though. In the old days the one p-up was a Junior and a two p-up a Special (or TV when yellow). Odd. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboyBillyBob1 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I really like the looks of that guitar. If I had a few extra bucks I would definately get one. I use my 2012 Standard in "single coil" mode a lot. It's kinda like a P-90 sound. I want one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
