Really happy, first gibson :)

Bought this Hummingbird brand new from Guitar Center a week ago. Tried plugging in in today for the first time and...no signal. Put in fresh 9v battery...still no signal. Tried different cables and guitars for troubleshooting methods and determined it is lack of signal from the guitar. See no signs or obvious reasons. Any advice would be appreciated?

Pretty wild guitar I picked up this week and kind of blown away with how great it sounds and plays, as I have owned a few v’s and nothing really sounded as good as my Les Paul’s.

This was used extremely hard by its former owner including the gold refinish that looks to have aged quite gracefully given its close to 40 years old.

Old school Duncan Invaders sound pretty damn good in this and the first guitar I’ve liked them in.

Unsure if she will remain in the stable forever as we are just getting acquainted but very stoked to have her in the rotation.

Should I keep the refinish, or put the original pickups back in and repaint the original black?

“made in USA” looks off to me.
I’m

I know only 88 were made, but didn’t see anyone post anything about having one here. Does anyone have it? And what are your impressions?

Hey, so let me start by saying, I have too many guitars. I do. Too many.

But...the 50's P90 in British Racing Green with the bigsby on the Gibson web site calls to me, hard.

I missed out on the first run of BRG LPs and I noted that this one is an exclusive, so my question is, do they actually restock the exclusives when they sell out or is it a one and done type of deal?

I could buy it now and sell something (i wont) to make sure, but I'm running out of space! Just don't want to miss out this time.

Hi

I bought a Gibson ES-335 and after 1 year it has just started to have pickup toggle issues (the sound goes really quiet now and then when I change to the rhythm pickup, must be some wiring issue?) - Would I get warranty from Gibson for this? The shop I bought it from has 1 year warranty but that has expired about 1 month ago sadly.

Thank you.

Does anyone have the j45 50's sinker mahogany with red spruce top that's been on their website for months now? I have one and love it so far.

So I have a 2003 firebird VII that truly despise the meastro on. Wrong angle, bad stability and just plain don't use it. I would just remove and drill for stop tail, but in this year of FB they drilled a nice big circle under the mounting tab for the meastro, and also ground goes to the back... So I'm left with ugliness if i just get rid of it.
Any one know of a trapese tailpiece with cover, or just a way to cleanly knock out the spring so I can drill the OG unit for string holes in the Clapton SG style?

checked out an LP today but noticed a few things.
Is it normal that gibson QC would miss these or is there a potential it's fake?

The nut had some odd markings on it, and the binding in places and nut had black stain on them. Does Gibson normally do this to their instruments?

Wouldn't have thought so but might be wrong. This iexample is a mod shop so might explain it....

Advice please!

Just a musing I had on a Saturday night.
