what would you like to see from Gibson in 2025 ?

[garywright]

myself, a 1968 SG Custom in Polaris ( non-faded/non-aged ) white along with some reversed firebirds offered in translucent cherry.

 

[J.D.]

Lower prices

Lower prices

what would you actually buy if they lowered the price for you ?

 

[jb_abides]

Offered in Lefty, of course!

- LP (Modern) Supreme, the translucent ebony looks nice but I'd settle for wine red

- Advanced Jumbo... resume production, Bozeman!

- 58 Korina Explorer and Flying V, VOS

- Non-Reverse Firebird VOS, prefer Bigbsy over Maestro, like McCartney

Who am I kidding, I'd have to order M2M for those last 2, but wouldn't mind them bringing in the USA Supreme for a limited production run for us southpaws.

Also: we are still waiting for them to bring back the Archtops, being worked on per Mat...
- Make mine an L-5 CES! I am leaning towards natural...

Murphy Labs with a finish that doesn't flake off.

Murphy Labs with a finish that doesn't flake off. I would be very pissed if I owned ML - My 2016 aged Firebird 111 with the razor job still has all the finish intact , My uneducated subjective opinion finish lift is formula - new finish - poor adhesion not able to withstand freezing .

Nothing. I'll never buy another new Gibson guitar.

Gibson amps true to the old circuits and not built by Mesa

Something new, not crazy expensive, and not stupid.

 

[Hackubus]

A G-USA Les Paul Special 1960 style doublecut, with wraptail, gloss finish, dual soapbar P90s, BWBW 4 ply pickuguard, inlayed MOP Gibson logo & neck binding. TV Yellow & cherry finishes, of course.
Like a companion to the singlecut LPS they put out a few years ago. Of course, keep it priced similarly to the singlecut at around $1799ish.

They made that model back in the mid 90s, albeit it had a stop bar/tuneomatic and that crazy 90s Gibson by way of French's Mustard TV Yellow paint. By the 2000s it morphed into the much cheaper made faded series. The neck binding & multi ply guard disappears, headstock logo goes from inlayed MOP Gibson logo to gold silkscreen.

 

[goldtop0]

An ES 330L.

 

[Any Name You Wish]

A smart Les Paul that comes with an app

I would not mind a custom shop reissue of the ES-175

 

[Norton]

A proper Thunderbird IV. Neck through, 60s style two piece bridge, nickel or chrome pickups and hardware.

 

[rockabilly69]

USA Non reverse Firebird with the same kind of quality that I'm seeing on the newer Specials and Juniors. In both P90 models and minihumbucker.

FYI. Gibson told me the CS Non reverse Firebird has been discontinued.

Well good that'll open the door for the USA cheaper version!

Manna. The seas would part.

Single cut, thinline, hollow body.

I would be happy with ply construction.

A 23.5" scale with otherwise 'normal' neck dimensions, please.

In P-90 and hb varieties.
