J-45 Cobraburst

[davenumber2]

Gibson recently came out with a new burst color for the J-45. Thoughts? I kinda like it.

I like the burst. Would have put a different pickguard.

[j45nick]

I think it's f'ugly.

 

Is it supposed to be a spin on Argentine gray?

[blindboygrunt]

it's a no from me too

[retrorod]

Uh-huh.........REALLY???

funny you posted this---saw that on sweetwater a couple days ago and was curious if it's an "exclusive"

 

would like to see it in person. I think it's cool and being a bit of a photographer, i also know that God awful backdrop they have photographed it against is NOT helping it any. I'd be willing to bet it looks dramatically different in a normal setting.

Maybe I am missing something here but I am not seeing a cobra connection.

 

In the words of my kid - Icky.

Too gray gone in these photos - but hey, look at the guard position. Do we see a full ring !

Not that it's an issue for me really -

[JuanCarlosVejar]

not the best thing they have done .

Would like to see better pics, but I like it!

Other than those tuners I really dig that burst, there's something nice and morbid about it. I imagine somebody from the Adams family would like it.

Interesting look...I would like to see this one up close.

Agree those tuners I hate more than anything

[quapman]

I think it looks great. Would like to see one in person.

[jannusguy2]

I like it!

I like it too. I think it will age well, and even if it doesn't it will probably be valuable just because it will probably be rare. Who knows, it could be the defining color of the next decade. One of the things I like about Gibson is that they aren't afraid to experiment, and it is sort of a legacy of the company.

I am missing the connection as well - perhaps a cobra is about to 'burst' out of the soundhole?

 

 

As said before, there are photos and there are photos - mine being the first category.

 

 

In the shop, it may look glorious. I saw the photo of this National while I was looking for information on them and I didn't like it at all, but one in the actual shop just about leapt off the wall (like a cobra?):

I much prefer Sepia tones in good photo images and NOT on my guitars....... :mellow:

[onewilyfool]

Maybe scales are easier on a Cobra burst guitar???? The price of that guitar would take quite a bite out of my pocketbook......There have been some pretty strong reactions to this guitar, I don't like to see all this venom about such a new guitar..........This guitar comes with Cobra strings, coiled up in nice packaging....Fangs for posting this...

[BluesKing777]

I was pretty keen on the guitar, but didn't want to get 'stung'.....

I dig offbeat stuff, so I like it.

[passthej45]

Doesn't "strike" me as particularly attractive.

[BluesKing777]

Don't forget to allow for a real Cobra Snakeskin guitar strap to go with the Cobra Burst:

Your comments can be quite "Venomous" sometimes....
