Gibson for 2016?

[Highlander]

Wouldn't interest Uwe... 

[TBird1958]

Sig Model you say? I'd have a name ...


Veronica's Secretion!

Works for me, no stodgy colors offered please!

[Denis]

If we're going for a DofH model, then the Daisy Duke extra curvy body would be interesting...

Gibson already did that.

I was talking off the record to two salesmen in two different shops. All the new Gibsons have the automatic tuners, a very very very wide neck, 'Les Paul 100' (??) written very ugly on all headstocks and of course the prices went up a lot. They both hated the guitars.. ..and sell a lot.

The best thing that can be said about those robo-tuners is they're easy to remove.   At least the old ones were..hopefully that's not a feature they changed

And a zero fret!

Dave's Guitar Shop will remove the robo tuners and install regular tuners at no charge if you buy a new 2015 Gibson from them. So they must be easy enough to remove.

Hopefully Gibson isn't planning on a bass version.

Now this I like.

[66Atlas]

I vote for Crackle finishes. Who doesn't miss those...

[Psycho Bass Guy]

Hopefully Gibson isn't planning on a bass version.

Realistically, I imagine bass strings require so much torque for a battery powered motor that anything big enough to articulate a bass tuner would be much heavier than the guitar tuners.  TBirds would have to start shipping with mic stand attachments for the headstocks.
