That's all i need to know!
thanks a lot...i think.
*runs to check bank account!*
addendum to above: i just opened a fortune cookie and it said, i kid you not, "be satisfied with what you alreadyown!"
Those are some nice looking guitars! :)
Those are way nice!! :D I'd buy them if only I had the money.
Yes, they are nice looking! It's beginning to look like I'm not going to be able to spend ANY money on trivial things like clothes or shoes if I'm going to have to save for one of these Gibson's and a resonator!!!!
:D

At least shopping with you would be FUN! 8) 8) :lol: :lol: You're a girl after my own heart!! 8) 8) 8)
remember the fortune cookie...
or find a store like Manny's where i live where they have no interest or payments for a YEAR!
i think they look very nice to be honest, but i dont see why a line should be specifily designed to ladies, i mean its not like the other lines of gibson guitar cant be played by women lol
Will they be called "Liz Paulas"? :lol: :lol:
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

"Mary Ford" would be a more appropriate choice to honor Mr. Paul, I think...
Peace
Those look great! Hopefully they will sell them for cheaper lol.

Aww no Explorers. I do like the SG though. Now if they had an Explorer in the violet burst, that would be something. I'd buy it as soon as I saw it. Well, not right after, I'd do it when I regain consiousness. I'm pretty sure I'd faint if I saw something like that.
I hope that, now that they're beginning to cater to women, there might be the possibility of Gibson redesigning more of their guitars for us! There may be an Explorer in your future yet! And I bet you'd be able to order it in a violet burst!
:D

I found a violet burst Gibson Goddess on their official site:
*drool*
(Although it does bug me somewhat that there are various guitar makers who are marketing guitars to a solely female audience.)
