Gibson Guitar of the Week - The Next Wave

mmcquain · 10-04-2007, 11:28 AM

Gibson has just released detailed specs and pics for the next wave of their "Guitar of the Week" (GOW)
series (runs are limited to 400 of each model). Some of the past week's have been some really cool
instruments (cool Explorers, Les Paul Classic Antiques, etc.) and some have been, shall we say, "only
a face a mother could love" IMHO

But anyway, this next batch looks pretty nice to me. Here they are:

Now there are a few that really "speak" to me personally...

The week 44 "unburst" reminds me a little of Greeny:

And for week 42, can you say "Ace Frehely?"

Darn GAS pains are starting up again... must not tell wife, must not tell wife...

The metal community is all going nuts over the 84 reissue explorer. That's the James Hetfield sig they've been talking about for years now. I wouldn't be surprised if Gibson brought that back as a production model.

Hmmm, it looks to me like Gibson is kinda' doing a bunch of ALMOST "artist signature models" with this latest round of GOTWs. The look of some of these guitars certainly is SIMILAR to some famous artist models (but these are by no means EXACT replicas). Still, probably a lot better price point for somebody that can't afford the real signature model.

Let's see, so far we've got...

Week 42 - Ace Frehley's Les Paul Custom
(probably the most obvious artist-related one, except the Joan Jett of course)

Week 44 - Peter Green/Gary Moore's "Greeny" Les Paul
(OK, so you'd need to change the pickups)

Week 47 - James Hetfield's Explorer

Week 45 - Joan Jett's Melody Maker

Week 43 - Allen Collin's Explorer

Week 46 - Peter Frampton's Les Paul Custom
(but with pup covers, etc. - OK, this may be a stretch )
