NAMM Gibsons?

The project I've been working on has been postponed until summer NAMM in Nashville.

 

I wonder if it's to be able to compete with the Martin autentic guitars :

D-28 Authentic 1931

 

D-18 Authentic 1939

 

OM-18 Authentic 1933

That D-45 Brazilian is something else, but I think the D-28 Authentic 1941 is a bit more rational for someone in my league. Given what a "real" D-45 or D-28 of that vintage would cost, these two are relative bargains. I see they've also got one of those sweet little mahogany sunburst critters as well.

 

Seems like Martin is catching the "authentic" fever, which is nice to see.

How many different ways can Martin present the D-18 and D-28? It seems endless.

The 000-17 looks nice, other than that, no GAS for me!

 

About as many ways as Gibson presents the J45, only Martin does it better in my opinion.

Did you make it to Anaheim this year?

 

Keith,

 

No, without the unveiling of the new guitars it didn't make much sense. So, we'll do that in July. I'll do book tour gigs starting February 10 in Springfield, MA, then Seattle, etc., and head to Nashville in July. The timing should work well fro both the guitars and the book.

The Authentics were "Authentic"...now compromise sets in...rediculous.

Madagascar Rosewood is that Authentic Dear Martin..? Rediculous.

Originally they were doing it Authentic..hand carved neck..original wood..Tbar..in the D45 it was no bar it was an ebony insert to keep neck straight..ect
