Gibson 2017: More burning birds

By now, you should be aware that Gibson offers majority of its models in either the HP or T versions. The HP (High Performance) option feature some 'upgrades' in terms of subtle appointments which the manufacturer deems as value-added revisions much to the dismay of purists. The HP Firebird come 2017 will offer an adjustable metal nut & a more standard 6-in-line tuners as seen above. 

The Studio version of the HP features a non-reverse headstock + that standard 6-in-line tuners & metal nut as well.

HP Bag

Ladies & gents, not all Gibson HP models for 2016 come with a hard case upon purchase. If it doesn't then be informed that this super padded bag is the alternative. 

The case in question (Gibson 2016)

Well, well, well... if you choose to purchase any Gibson 2016 HP model, this is the hard case offered WEF 2016. I truly prefer a rectangular case for a more 'stackable' experience. It also looks like the lack of leather would prevent a moldy case (no pun intended). 😄
