This popped up on my FB this morning and I am really liking some of the new additions!
I don't think I can pick just one!

I would buy this one first though :grin:

"New Model Year serial numbering system enhances collectability"

as well as

"One-piece fingerboards enhance sustain"

Er...were they using two/three piece fingerboards?

But some of those do look cool.
 
Don't know specs, yet, but the initial info seems promising, ESPECIALLY if those prices listed are MSRP (but I doubt it).

Also says that ALL of the models are Plek'd...hmmm...
 
I was going to say - comparable to stainless steel? I don't know. Some of those look nice but I have problems with some of Henry J's decisions..
 
I'm diggin' that EB bass.
never seen one of those before, that I can recall.

not too impressed with the SG offerings though.
damn zebra pickups :mad:

dunno what that Min-ETune is, but pretty sure I don't want it.
 
Seems like Henry noticed all the complaints about sloppy fretwork on the low-end models. A PLEK job makes those cheapies much more attractive.
 
And they're ditching those awful Corian nuts for Tusq. Maybe they'll also hire someone who actually knows how to cut the slots properly!

If they had just ditched some of the really heinous low-end finishes this would be a killer lineup throughout.
 
meh...I didn't like the 2013 models and I don't much care for the 2014 models. If I ever get another Gibson, I'll go the used route.
