neil___lien Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Evening everyone! I see that Sire has announced their new models, and while quite often, new models or lines are made public at the NAMM shows every year, certain brands seem to add models to their catalogues "randomly". I wonder if any of you here have observed patterns in release dates? Maybe we could collectively come up with a calendar of releases by brand ? Like when can we expect new modeld/finishes of Squiers, Harley Bentons, Corts... to be released? Quote

Now if anyone would like to chime in with serious input? Like the Cort GB Short Scale was released around November 2025. But i seem to remember that the Harley Benton HB-50 appeared out of nowhere, mid-year, i think. ESP-LTD are unveiling their new line up sometime in January. Or was it just ESP? Anyway, does anyone know if there is any logic to when brands announce new models, lines, finishes? Quote
Gank Bass Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Sorry bud couldn't resist. Harley Benton teased some new models on their Instagram story. Most brands wait til the first big run of guitar shows these days instead of doing it Jan 1st. If there are certain brands you are interested in id recommended following their socials or checking sites like Andertons, cme etc for launch info 👍 1 Quote
neil___lien Posted January 9 Author Posted January 9 October 22nd 2025: Cort released the Cort GB short scale. January 5th-ish: Sire announced Gen 3 and new models. January 9th 2025: Ibanez have announced the release of the new line-up. January 16th (i believe): ESP-LTD will make their new line-up known through their website. Quote
