Gibson Goes 50th Anniversary Style
When it comes to a Gibson Guitar, the experts will mostly all agree that it doesn’t get much better than a 1958 Les Paul. Personally I will never own one, never be able to afford one, and could probably never find one. Heck, I doubt I’ll ever own any Les Paul, but a man can dream.
That said, 50 years have now come to pass since that famous 1958 and as such, rumor has it that Gibson is going to launch an entire line of not re-issues, but 1958 “inspired” guitars to celebrate and mark their 50th Anniversary. I have yet to hear about pricing, availability or anything else, but it looks like they are launching the 50th Anniversary Korina Explorer, ES-335, Les Paul Figured, and Korina Flying V.
Is it me or is the ES-335 worth killing for? My Goodness it makes me feel a weird combination of excited, depressed and jealous all at the same time. That is a hard thing to acheive in a simple photo, is it not? As soon as I get more information, I’ll let you know. Start saving now!

Thanks for the heads-up on the 58 re-issues - hard to believe it’s 50 years now! This whole collection looks pretty damn sweet, but you are right the 335 looks like pure gold.
Great website!

[...] Gibson, why do you tease me so? Why do you first show me 50th Anniversary Guitars, then come out and show me the new Dark Fire that I’ll most likely never be able to own!? [...]
