I'm a little confused. The graphic that introduces the new lineup has a really cool looking 335 with nickel hardware, a Bigsby and a blue metal flake finish. It looks really cool. But I can't find evidence that it's an actual existing model anywhere.

See below:

The exact same thing happened to me...I got an instant attraction towards that blue sparkle and I went on a wild goose chase...found no evidence of it actually existing!! :fp:
I also looked for it for a hilariously long amount of time, to no avail.

If I may be so bold, I think we are two guys with very good taste in guitars. This has to be no coincidence. Gibson needs to catch up!

You know, one time an artist rep actually reached out to me but I never followed up (this had to have been 3 or 4 years ago). Perhaps it's time I did, and said "How do I get this guitar?" (just kidding, I'm sure she's long gone, if that company's employee turnover is anything like its reputation).

It'll also almost certainly be an artist signature model.......

Though, this is pretty close, minus the bigsby.

Further looking, it appears to be a anchor stud model. Is that a design thing now, as opposed to an obvious conversion(scratches head)?

Yeah, I ran across a few of those in my searches. Other differences: not nearly as nice a color blue, and chrome instead of nickel hardware.

Oh, they haven't thrown the ol' shit towel in just yet: behold, the J-45 Humbucker 2019 Blood Orange:
It's not the worst I've seen. Gretsch put out that acoustic with a filtertron and a Bigsby a couple years ago.

I don't see anything in 2019 that's going to motivate me to part with cash for a new Gibson.

I did buy a new Gibson this year - but iirc it was a 2017 model (or 2016) '64 reissue ES345. Memphis still make some decent guitars - but the current new prices are seriously over the top. My 345 was cheap when you compare it to the price of a non-custom 'standard' ES335 for 2019! And thankfully if there is a flame top it's covered up by horrible olive drab paint, so I'll never know...

They also added another Slash signature guitar that is only $13,000 and limited to 150 models.

That's what the people are crying out for... more expensive Slash branded stuff.
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.
