That may be true, but I genuinely believe that guitars are meant to be bought and played regardless of monetary worth. Don't get me wrong. If they made another 75 Bonabursts I would not be happy, but as long as you know what you're getting into, I don't see the harm. After all, a good guitar is a good guitar.

It's Joe's guitar. Sorry but no petition will change that.

Has Joe actually said this? If so, I didn't mean to be step on his toes or waste anyone's time.

Don't know. But I haven't seen anywhere he announced his Bonabird would be made into production. I can't and won't speak for Joe but I kind of thought this was strictly a special one off guitar from Gibson to Joe. I just don't feel a petition to Gibson will change that unless Joe himself asks for it to be done.

I know I'm not the most articulate but does this make any sense?

edit: FYI. Just because I sold Joe a amp doesn't mean I am his best buddy or know any inside information. If I say something here it is me speaking, and me only. Not Joe!

Re: Bona-Byrd Petiton

Gibson might like the guitar enough to start making them on their own to sell. Who says it has to be a JB Signature Model for them to start making them. It’s all up to Gibson and Joe. I will say since its Joe’s creation, the first run should be a JB Signature or JB inspired limited edition. Either way I won’t be buying one.

Take care,
