There's still no sign of the models displayed at NAMM, where are the Les Paul Standard 50s & 60s, the Les Paul Junior & Special? I assumed these were factory models not custom shop, the Gibson website now mixes the factory & Custom Shop models and it's pretty confusing.

Not sure if we’re talking about the same thing, but Thomann have the 2019 Junior in worn ebony for just over £500 which seems like a decent offer.  No sign of the others you mention though. 

No that's not one of the announced guitars at NAMM, these are the one's I'm waiting for:

So there’s *another* Jr announced at NAMM a in addition to the currently available one I linked to above?  Confusing. What’s the difference?

That TV Yellow Special at around 20mins into the video is exactly the spec I'd like to buy. The 2016 Jap Export Special came close but I'm hoping this one has more of a chunky 50s neck profile?.......(and comes in at a reasonable price?).......The NAMM coverage all seemed to suggest it would be a regular production model but no sign as of yet?

I see Coda are starting to discount the "old" 2019 models.  Presumably this means the imminent arrival of the models people seem to be waiting for.

I hate the slim taper neck profile.

Despite a week still to run on the countdown clock on Gibson's website, Guitar guitar looks like they've listed the new models for pre-order (under the new arrivals section).

Despite the new guard at Gibson saying they were reassessing the price for the new models, I'm still a bit disappointed if the prices listed are correct. Les Paul special 1350 quid. SG with either trem 1700. Les Paul 50's and 60's models 2100. Each one a few hundred too much for me I think.

Definitely not low prices but much lower than last year. I'm pretty sure last year's standard was £2600 at release so this is a pretty significant step in the right direction.

"unburst" looks tasty

LH Firebird pleeeeeease Gibson.

Junior at £1,250 with hard case is do-able if they've got them right. Let's see what the reviews say.

Can’t find them now, they must’ve taken them down

Any links to the 'proper' Junior?

Everyone will go live with these at the same time next week..The USA Juniors, SG Specials and LP Specials  look great and they don't have slim taper necks, that's about as much info as I can give out right now...We should have some stock across the range for the launch or even just before, I would expect this to be the case everywhere...

That's a big improvement whatever else is going on.

Will there be any DC LP Junior or DC LP Specials due or are they just Single cuts?,
Cheers.
