Gibson Guitar – Dark Fire

Gibson Guitar And The Dark Fire

Gibson Guitar produced the Dark Fire on December 3, 2008.

Here was innovation itself.

Technical achievements and advancements that have ever since inspired the world of music.

Gibson Digital Guitar started the ball rolling in 2006 then the Robot Guitar showed it’s face in 2007 setting pulses racing.

Gibson’s Dark Fire guitar has completely changed music history and the music industry, virtually overnight.

The Gibson Dark Fire looks:

  1. A nitrocellulose finish.
  2. Mahogany back and neck have a satin finish for superb playability.
  3. Headstock face has a gloss finish.
  4. A flowerpot inlay such as on the F4 Mandolin and the Byrd-land, decorates the headstock.

Inspiration for the Dark Fire came mainly from the 2008 Les Paul.

  • The 2008 Les Paul has a ultra slick, and very comfortable neck shape along with Perfect Setup.
  • This guarantee of perfection is made possible by a computerized PLEK system.
  • They’ve redesigned the piezo bridge.
  • Teflon and frictionless faux bone are been used in the manufacture of the nut.
  • There is a bridge lock for total tone and sustain.
  • Locking tuners make sure that string tension and tuning are held steady through plenty of wild playing.

Gibson Dark Fire lets you blend and adjust the sound from the  guitar’s traditional pickups, with the sound from the  piezo bridge pickup, thanks to the rotary potentiometer .

You control functions of the Dark Fire with the MCK or Master Control Knob.

There’s a sophisticated color matrix display.

The new MCK, controls:

  1. pickup changing.
  2. Coils.
  3. Tunings
  4. And EQ settings.

This allows you to adjust everything smoothly, and more importantly, simultaneously, during your performance.

See you soon.

Gibson J45 Guitar

I had to visit Frankfurt Musikmesse.

It was there that the world’s top musical instrument company, and pioneers in musical technology ‘GIBSON‘, announced a bonanza of inventive new products to be unraveled.

One of the most astounding guitars of the last seven decades took center court.

The Gibson J45 dreadnought acoustic round-shoulder jumbo, started life taking over from the J35 in 1942 and in them days you could pick one up for a measly $45! ( I’d guess at that being around a months wages back then).

Gibson J45′s are all hand-crafted gorgeousness.

Gibson continues to produce and present the world’s most collectible guitars.

We were also in Frankfurt for the Korina Tribute guitars 50th Anniversary, and to see the Reissued 1959 ES-335 .

On display in the exhibition:

  1. The Peter Frampton Les Paul.
  2. The Gibson Les Paul Axcess.
  3. The Joe Bonamassa Les Paul.
  4. The extremely popular Les Paul Standard Reissue.
  5. And other classic Gibson Custom guitars.

Gibson J45 Guitars, displayed a host of models never before shown to the public, along with all the traditional guitars.

Gibson are worldwide renowned for coming up with classic guitar models. and classics in every other style of fretted instrument.

For Example:

  • Acoustic guitars.
  • Electric guitars.
  • Mandolins.
  • Banjos.
  • The Gibson’s HD.6X-PRO Digital Guitar.
  • The Gibson Robot Guitar.
