I still find it hard to believe that there's anyone willing to pay Gibson prices. Always worth tuning in for Ben's playing, though.
@AnimalJohn852 жыл бұрын
Nearly £1000 pound for a signed sticker!? Gibson certainly know how to charge. The Mustaine is a belting looking geetar and the querky 24 frets is nothing shy of awesome but the price... not one for me. As always with the Andertons vids great playing, wicked sound and entertaining. Keep up the top work folks.

Did Gibson actually believe Mustaine’s own hype?! If I had that ludicrous amount of money I’d actually prefer to place a bet that this will go down as one of the worst selling Gibson acoustic guitars of all time.
@chrisjs61232 жыл бұрын
I’m sure they are “authentic” and I do have a soft spot for an LG2 but I’d struggle to buy one of these over many other brands for similar money. Gibson acoustics do seem better made than their electric counterparts which are just a joke.

Did you happen to measure the action heights on these? I own both the Rateliff and Cantrell ones. The Rateliff came with super low action (with no buzz), but the Cantrell is quite a bit higher. I believe it's 7/64 at the Low E string, whereas the Rateliff is around 4.5/64. I can't decide if i should try to lower the Cantrell action height. I love low action guitars.

I think artist series guitars electric and acoustics have become this thing, Where Companies put out cool guitars not necessarily guitars that the artist play. But just guitars that look cool and are way overpriced unless you just have that much to throw at one of these instruments .. and they are calling them artist series.. don’t get me wrong i think it’s cool .. I’m just saying that’s Where we are at today

Like most of the comments I agree I'm not a fan of these 3 Artists Signature Gibsons.. It's no secret that Gibson had a rough road for few years.. But the new Gibson Acoustics being made are really really good.. Hopefully people won't just judge Gibson over these 3 Artists guitars. My main weapon is a 2014 Gibson Advanced Jumbo and its seriously Unbelievable!!
