Gibson Guitar announced several new models to debut at NAMM 2007 conference in Anaheim, California, room 204A.
One of the most radical Les Pauls Gibson has ever made, the Les Paul BFG is a stripped-down, rock ’n’ roll machine. Blasted back to the bare essentials, the BFG is the Les Paul for guitarists who want rich, full tone and raw power. Two volume knobs and one tone knob dial in the high-powered Burstbucker 3 humbucker in the bridge position and the screaming, singlecoil P-90 in the neck position. The traditional toggle has been rewired as a kill switch, and a mini-toggle at the volume knobs controls pickup selection. The BFG has no binding, no figured top, no finishing touches, just pure Mahogany chambered body and unsanded maple top.
Resurrecting one of the most popular guitars in Gibson’s history, the Melody Maker is an accurate, affordable recreation of the original Melody Makers of the late 1950s. Originally introduced as a student model, much like the Les Paul Junior, the Melody Maker became a player’s favorite for its light weight, comfortable neck, and great tone. Today’s Melody Maker is no exception. With a period-correct pickguard housing a special design singlecoil pickup, a vintage-style wraparound tailpiece, rounded neck profile, and slim, light body, the Melody Maker is a great value for players. The Melody Maker has Mahogany neck and body, wraparound tailpiece, chrome hardware, and will be available in Vintage Sunburst, Ebony and Worn White finish.
Part of the new Modern Classic series from Gibson Acoustic in Bozeman, Montana, the CJ-165 is the next step in the evolution of the iconic SJ 200. With all the resonance of a larger guitar, the CJ-165 is designed for players needing a smaller body profile for the precision of fingerstyle and flatpicking runs. As comfortable as it is beautiful, the CJ-165 is available with either figured maple or AAA Indian rosewood back and sides. With a Sitka spruce top and 1930s-style, wide-scalloped X-bracing, rolled fingerboard edge, low string height, hiigh quality pickup and preamp, and Grover tuners, the CJ-165 is available in Antique Natural or Vintage Sunburst finish.
