- Gibson 2019 “Original Collection” (stab: Apollo Phaser)
- New “original collection” kind of reminds me of the Fender American Vintage line
- All full-weight, hand wired controls, no electronics or coil taps or anything.
- Also looks like they’ve done away with the whole “alternate finishes” thing and how have a few options for each model
- Les Paul: 50’s Standard (choice of P90 or HBs), 60’s Standard, Les Paul Special, Les Paul Jr.
- SG: 61 Maestro Vibrola, 61 Sideways vibrola, 61 standard, SG special, SG Jr
- Firebird, V, Explorer, Thunderbird, and SG bass.
- Prices seem okay. Very much streamlined.
