New Gibson Body Shape. Oh, FFS.

[SlapbassSteve]

I really like the natural one, although it does look just like a Teisco/Top Twenty skip-outside-your-house special... there's NO WAY I'd be willing to pay that much for one, but then Gibsons are stupidly expensive across the board tbf. The Epiphone guitars selling around the £400-500 mark are much better made then modern Gibsons selling for over twice as much in my (limited) experience.

I quite like it. Would prefer it with a Bigsby though.

[indent=1]I think that black one in the OP loks awful, but I love the body shape![/indent]

[indent=1] That's a beauty IMHO.[/indent]

[indent=1]I'd rather have the option for a P90 in the bridge and FA in the neck, but otherwise I'd happily have one (if it wasn't a grand a pop!)[/indent]

That one I like. I'd happily play one... but not at $2000...

I like the modern F holes, which aren't F's at all, they are just squiggly lines, with the little bridge lines in the exact right location, so they actually serve their purpose

Not too bad, but the one in the OP does look like a toy. And the whammy bars just look stupid.

That's a les term, i believe.

[Bassection]

The shape's not bad, but the finishes turn me off a little.

[Junkyard Rocket]

Looks like a double-cut version of the nighthawk shape.

[geoffbyrne]

I'm a bit surprised no one has commented on its similarity to a Westone Thunder.

I think Mel Gibson designed that one. Without that whammy bar it'd be ok.

Definitely Also, I'm not a huge Gibson fan, but I think this new one looks pretty cool, and I think that's what they are aiming for, to be the cool brand again. There's only so long the 60's and 70's kids can keep them in business
