Bryn6490 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 ....using laminated guitar bridges and fingerboards? And if so What serial number or year did it stop? I Very much want a new Gibson J-45TV or Gibson Country Western Sheryl Crow. But I do not want a laminated guitar bridge or fingerboard on my $2700.00 guitar.

ParlourMan Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 It would seem they have based on several of the late 2012 / 2013 models we've seen posted here. The model you're speaking of also rates rather highly on here based on trials and owners. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I don't think there is any definitive data on which serial numbers would have laminated boards and bridges. Even though Gibson has apparently gone back to one-piece boards and bridges, it would be prudent to look at the individual guitar at this stage. Obviously, on guitars with a bound fretboard, you won't be able to tell about the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This identical topic was posted a week ago. Discussed ad nauseum. Even the subject line was identical. Read that, or just look at the actual bridges yourself, or call and ask the retailer to certify/guarantee if you can't inspect the guitar yourself.

E-minor7 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'd like to believe the serious thoughts and analysis from this Board regarding the introduction of laminate components in the same phase as Ren Fergusons departure made them think twice. What do I know. A clever decision to call it off it was – and the 2012 Hummingbird I kept in January plus others encountered, didn't have it.

rar Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 What do I know. Well, apparently not as much would if you'd actually read the previous thread, which included explanations of why the practice began and why it was ended. :) -- Bob R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt seriously that anyone would notice, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HNS Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I didn't know that Gibsons used laminated fretboards and bridges [blush] . My 2005 SWD doesn't SEEM to have either. I'm not sure whether the finishing could hide the layers or not. Thanks for sharing Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
