If you bought one of these and are happy with your purchase, that's all that should matter for you. Now go and play that thing instead of getting into debates on the internet! |

The “terrible investment financially and tonally” seemed a bit abrasive in a thread where people were expressing their excitement for their new Gibson instruments. No big deal.

He said "It smelled like a Maaco car paint shop. Come on Gibson...really?" Doesn't sound like excitement to me. Seems like he made the smart decision to pass (he usually does). |

Whoever considers a guitar purchase an investment needs to rethink their investment strategy. I”m waiting for your video comparing an identical vintage model to a new ML to show us why they are so much better. Without that anything you say is baseless and without fact. Time to step up…

I am a vintage Gibson guy but I will say they are building better guitars now than maybe ever. In 50-70 years these will be akin to the 30’s-early 50’s Gibsons we clamor for now.

What we aren’t account for is that in 30 years these will be double vintage. Fake vintage and real vintage. Should bring premium dollars by 2054

As a starting point I do not think of old or new guitars in terms of better or not as good. They are simply different sounding. There is no way that say a recent production J200 is going to sound like one which rolled out of the factory in the 1950s. The reason is they are very different beasts structurally with the older ones having a bracing which was unique to that model. While I would guess Gibson was more concerned about supporting that big old top than anything else, in 50 or so years of playing Gibsons I have never held a maple body J200 in my hands I liked better than those. I would say the same thing about a 1930s L Series guitar. In this case while going with a bridge plate no thicker than a business card or two may be great when it comes to a hair trigger response and sound, it is also a warranty nightmare waiting to happen. When it comes to Banners, something different comes into play. No guitar on the face of the planet speaks as eloquently to a specific time and place as those instruments do. It is like you feel not as much as you own them as you have been appointed its caretaker. There is no way you can attach a price tag to that.

On the other hand, last I heard, they weren't building any more vintage guitars, other than replicas... |

Count me in the camp that Bozeman is making incredible guitars today. Incredible.
Now I just need to find a magical Gibson that sounds huge but is comfortable like a 000.
