The more you look at the Gibson, the more nothing lines up right and it just looks lumpy and awkward.

Ford would release a new range of say the Focus periodically , but not change the whole Ford range every 12 months - They would release limited edition sport packs and colours and I can see merits in this with say an LP Std - maybe select colours every so often, even an aged one, but to drop basic steady sellers is crazy - plus customers start to struggle to see what is out there for sale when they enter a dealer - why can't I buy such and such any more
Release say the white range on a limited run - white LP Studio, Special, SG, 335, then maybe the black run, or blue run - The modern version etc, all as occasional special runs - but this create a range and drop it less than 12 months later is crazy - Apart from fashion who else does it
Though the Memphis/Montana guys seem to understand - the ES275 looks brilliant. Don't think they're announced anything official for 2017, but it's likely to be minor variations on classics rather than reinventing the wheel "with new improved corners!"
Yeah, exactly. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with some new models (and even taking the odd chance with new models which some people might not like)- just (1) Don't get rid of the core, popular/historical models and (2) Don't refresh the entire range every year, that seems excessive- and pointless if some models are pretty much fine already. If it's not broke don't fix it!
Can somebody explain to me why one guitar is £900 more than the other? Apart from binding, hardcase and pickups?

I thought the tribute might have a thinner body? But this doesn't appear to be the case.

"she will have, long blonde hair, big blue eyes and legs that go aaaaallllllllll the way up"
That's the 2015 Tammy model.
Prior to that she had long blonde hair, medium blue eyes and legs that go 99.9% of the way up. Not to be confused with the 2013 Tammy Sindi RI model, which had short blonde hair and a drinking problem.
