"Martins love that harmonic cascading grand piano thing, and the volume of a good one fills up the room like a cotton candy kernel just popped.
But Gibsons? They concentrate on the Big Fundamental, and have a visceral thump that pummels you, like someone in that cotton candy room just threw a sledgehammer just at you. So nope, Gibsons won't shimmer and sheen with overtones, which Martin lovers will call "dead." But Gibson lovers rely on the more focused attack to really pound out some honkeytonk blues like Martin only wished it could do."
"Gibson Thump__"I like the notes to jump off the fretboard, do their business fairly quickly, and get out of the way for the next note".
"There is old school Gibson tone and there is new school Gibson tone. Pretty much if you like old school Gibson tone you have to buy an old Gibson. Because Ren apparently has pretty wide latitude in his designs, Bozeman Gibsons are more representations of older guitars than balls on accurate reproductions of something from their past catalogs - with the exception of the rather pricey Legend Series. Bracing, as example, while it may be positioned the same as on a 1930s or 1940s guitar is shaped differently. Not saying one is better than the other - just different. And Gibson Monatan can make a heck of a guitar. If anything, to my ears the newer Gibsons are brighter sounding and a bit boomier than their older kin.
If there is one complaint you hear about Bozeman-made Gibsons it is that they are incredibly inconsistent in sound and build quality (things such as sloppy cuts on the kerfing). Ya just may have to go through a bunch to find a keeper but when you do you got yourself a dose of magic. Some of the best Gibsons I have heard have come out of Gibson particularly those made in the Custom Shop. Then again, some of the worst Gibsons I have ever played also came out of Bozeman".
ส่วน "New Tone" ของ Gibson ที่เริ่มมี harmonic เหมือน Martin และ shimmer เหมือน Taylor และมีย่านเบสที่หนาขึ้นแต่กระแทกกระทั้น (Thump) น้อยลงนั้นน่าจะเริ่มจาก Custom Line series (CL) ที่ผลิตออกมาในปี 1996 ตามมาด้วย Songwriter Series ครับ มาลองฟังเสียงดู ผมว่าถ้าหลับตาฟังคงเดาไม่ถูกว่ามันคือ Gibson หรอกครับ (CL series ยังไม่ใด้อัดเสียงครับ)
