New Gibson Basses!

There is going to be a early style EB0 (called the EB 11?) in Pellham blue and chrome, I ordered one it is beautiful ! A new V bass, Explorer with 80's graphics, and a short scale Thunderbird (dumb idea imho but who knows it might sell). Also a New LP with a gold top. Bitch'n ! I saw Pics at the HOG today (House of Guitars)

Explorer with '80s Graphics!?

I need it!

Wow. Psyched!

I actually like the idea of a short scale Thunderbird.
I've been contemplating on building one myself.

Is the EB11 a Les Paul double cut shaped body? That would be very cool.

Good thing I don't like Pelham Blue .......

I'd like to have a look at that TB shortie ....... It'll probably look totally out of whack but I'd sure like to have a look at that TB shortie. Did I mention I'd sure like to have a look at that TB shortie ?

That LP Jr shaped EB0 is very sexy.

Wonder of Gibson has a new board.
Finally some new stuff that makes sense.

Fairly close repro, pick guard is a little off (so's mine) and headstock is slightly off with no mop. Knobs are wrong. They should have changed the original banjos, which are a PITA and left off the handrest which was never on the originals...unless it's covering a minibucker

I'm pretty amazed they chose this bass to RI. I don't know if it makes mine more valuable or less.

I can not find any other pics

The Explorer is in the white and black splinter graphic.

Dave W · January 27, 2011, 01:19:25 PM

Will these actually see production, or will they go the way of Uwe's long-overdue Continental V?

The EB-11 should sell at that list price.

godofthunder · January 27, 2011, 01:34:18 PM

I am told they will be here by June or August. All I know is I ain't paying 2k.
