Well, the info on their website isn’t complete yet, but Gibson is apparently releasing a 2008 50th Anniversary line, just in time for the Holidays. Say hello to the 50th Anniversary Korina Explorer, ES-335, Les Paul Figured, and Korina Flying V… more information as it becomes available.
P.S. That ES335 is gonna’ kill me… please, stop me before I spend again!

That’s how an Explorer is supposed to look.

I do love that Explorer… and it would add nicely to my collection. Now what can I sell on ebay…

Well, what else can you say…those 4 guitars are from the era when Gibson was at the height of its creativity and excellence. They’re all beautiful and I’d love to own all 4 of them. The fact that those models still look so fantastic 50 years later (as do the Strat and Tele, by the way) is testament to how amazing the 1950s really were in the history of guitar design and manufacture.
Hey, I’m sure some day we’ll say the same thing about 80s hair metal guitars…won’t we?

Hey, 80′s hair metal WAS about the 50′s guitars – no matter that the music blew. :)
Tons of flying V’s and Explorers.
