Gibson NAMM Photos

Here.

No article, just pics. Mostly guitars but I do spy two Birds in the Gibson booth and one seems to have a mirrored pickguard and a toggle switch. These probably aren't Epis, there's a separate Epi booth shot where you can see the Woody and EB-0.

The one T-bird is like the one Nikki Sixx has in a recent BP mag. Looks like it has his name on the pickguard as well. My wife won't be happy if that is a production model!

 Is it just me or do those wings look like quarter sawn maple ? Why stop at the pick guard ? Chrome baby !

[Nocturnal]

The one Nikki is holding in BP is a trans black and it looks like flame maple on the wings. No idea if the maple is just a top cap on mahog or if the entire wing is made of it. Either way, I have a feeling I know what I'm saving to buy next!

The silver one (at least it looks silver to me) has the same 2 knob 1 toggle layout. Wonder if thats a new thing for T-birds in general?

I first thought the silver/white one had a chrome pickguard, but it could be a white one too. With reflection from the light on the guard or the transparent plastic cover, it looks chrome but could be just white?

I like toggle switches. The only thing I miss on my SG RI.

Ahhhh......... Chris here you are!  Some folks have purchased gifts for our "wedding" shall we ask for a couple of new 'Birds instead?

[Chris P.]

Sorry, I was busy this weekend buying a wedding suit. It's very traditional, so you and your purple dress look even better besides me. It's a black suit, white shirt, a tie with little Gibson birds on it and a black hat. I'm getting myself a blackbird for the ceremonies.

Yes, people. Don't buy us cutlery, china, flowers, kitchen machines. We just want more birds. And RD's. Even First Act RD's!

Somebody notify the paparazzi.

You heard him! .........now obey!  There's an international incident in the works  I *have* to travel first class with chromey 'Birds right beside me for the long flight to Holland, no baggage compartment for them!

Pffftt!  He just wants you for your Birds    

As for the gifts - QVC has a strict no returns policy so you two are stuck with the soup tureen   If it looks like you two are going stick it out for the long haul, and Chris' girlfriend doesn't cause a seen at the alter at the get go, I'll order the matching gravy boat for the first anniversary
