Thank the Lord for the fine folks at Vibramate. I've mutated most of mine with Bigsby Whambulators for wiggle stick wobbliness.
sounds very cool!

2019 Original Collection GT with P90s...9.5 lbs, pleked, 59ish neck, nice medium to dark rosewood board and sounds terrific. Payed under 2k shipped to my front door, IMO these are a big win for Gibson.
sounds very cool!
It really is. Simple install, no drilling holes and 100% reversible. I like Bigsby's and know how to use 'em. Vibramate unleashed my wigglestick tendencies!
Nice GT... Enjoy... :salude
I agree that this series is a big win for Gibson, and anyone who wants a particular model that they might not buy at Custom Shop prices. For me, that would be an Explorer, which I'm seriously considering... :salude
I wanted a gold top, which i haven't had for about 20 years or more, and these were in a price i could justify and the guitar passed my expectations.
I've never owned an Explorer...i can do without a V or Modern but the Explorer just 'speaks' to me. The 2019 model got me, love the color, love the nickle hardware and the price was good IMO. I got one and i honestly haven't put it down - it's so cool! Here's a couple pics of my 2019 and a link to a thread we have going here.
SWEEEEEEEEEEET!!! eace2 eace2 eace2
Is that Explorer from the Original Collection series? I WANT ONE!!! eace2
yes sir! I took it to Nashville with me on a visit and dropped it off at Joe Glaser's shop to just let them adjust it. They were excited to see a 'new' Gibson. I went to the Nash zoo and came back at the end of the day and they said really the guitar didn't need anything - it was set up very well. That said volumes to me - Glaser's shop is highly respected and in Nashville that pretty strong.
They are PLEKED - the pickups sound amazing and you can play all the way up the neck so easily. The neck feels like none i've had and i love it! It balances great on your lap and with strap - i honestly LOVE mine, i like just looking at it on at stand! Oh you'll need a hanging stand if you don't have one
If you make a home for one i'd LOVE to see it.
I have no affiliation with any music store but i'd recommend giving Eddie's in St Louis a call if you see one in their inventory. Make them a decent offer and see what happens
These are outstanding guitars. Gibson really hit it out of the park with the "Original Collection". I love that P90 honk :hank
