Oh, I dunno. I rather like this P/S Offset Special. It's so pink and cuuuuuuuute.

Is that a selector switch, then? Or the guitar equivalent of a third nipple?

Is the poor thing just pregnant with the Devil's child???

What the hell were they thinking?! I thought the Firebird X was pig ugly but this is a total train wreck!

Apparently; "“Everything on this guitar is exactly as Zakk wanted it,” said Michael McGuire, Operations Manager of Gibson Custom, “including the pickup selector switch on the upper-rear point of the body.”
A detail that might look a little odd at first glance, the selector switch is positioned for easy access in playing position — just one of the many little touches demanded by Wylde"

Not sure how it could possibly not be in the way though.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Been around a couple of years collecting abuse from all and sundry.

Personally, of all Gibsons mistakes I'd like to own a Lawn Dart (reverse flying V).

A Corvus for me. I very nearly bought one in the nineties.

I don't mind it. Really.

Also, that shape has been around a few years now, it's just in that finish that it's new.

Well Zakk Wylde (oh, he of the inappropriate solo) plays his guitars almost vertical when soloing so that probably works quite well for him!

But yeah it's a complete disaster.

I like his riffs and ridiculous over use of pinch harmonics, and the way he used to solo when he first played with Ozzy... Messy pentatonic shredding doesn't excite me as much... Neither does his guitar... which when you hold it vertical it looks like a big ginger goatee

[Truckstop]

Oh god yeah I love his solos.

Personal favourite is 'Lords of Destruction' off 1919 Eternal (great album by the way if you like biker metal) and also love his solo on 'Once More' off Hangover Music Vol.4. It's just so inappropriate, but so good!

A Flying SG?

or maybe an SV? Either way it's not going to win any beauty contests.

[/quote]Never a fan of the mustang, but I like the upgrades.

My eight year old likes it. Especially the pointy bits.

Me neither but the fixed bridge and 'buckers combined with the sunburst finish looks very good. Seriously considered trading my Jazzmaster in for one.

[waynepunkdude]

It's alright.
