    Or may be they're struggling to come up with any more variations.... May be they'll go back to 'really' narrow/thin necks, nibs that are taller than the frets, the realisation than pancake bodies were better, and that weight-relief is for wusses....

    Next year's models are almost always revealed around September. Last year might have been an exception due to having way too much inventory in the channel (they did the "sprint run" if you recall) - but would be normal to see the 2017s soon.

  • Hopefully 60s necks on everything. Then I'll buy something for 50p when the 2018 guitars come out.

    It might be because Gibson don't know if there will be a company in 2017 ?

    I want to see more cool Flying Vs and Explorers.

    I suspect we'll see more dog-ugly binding-less cheap Les Pauls and £12k Joe Massiveboner VOS signature models.

    It's an ironic artistic statement to show that the 'model year' crap is just a cynical marketing ploy, and that from next year they're simply going to go back to making a standard range of guitars.

    If they do a Blacktop-finish LP trad I'd be keen. Or the aforementioned DC Jr...

    Variations ... hmmm ... change the name of the G-Force tuners, musical chairs with the pickup combinations, introduce the 'Savannah' and 'Tundra' bursts (similar to the desert bursts), new custom bindings, and the limited 'bleacher' board wood specials....

    Guy's it's white font on a white background

    It reads as follows

    "Gibson are proud to announce that there will be no 2017 models of our fabulous instruments. We've had a meeting with the bank and even after advertising our 2015 instruments for a dollar a piece on amazon we still have a warehouse full of these things and as such cannot build anything until they're all gone"

    Guys, this is new technology for 2017. All 2017 Gibsons will be issued with special glasses, in order to see them. It's an anti-theft thing. Unless the audience are wearing them too, it'll look like air guitar.

    Gibson have put up their 2017 acoustic models

    Nothing too crazy aside from a J-45 with Robot Tuners and an adjustable titanium bridge.
