SlapbassSteve Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 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.

stoker Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) I quite like it. Would prefer it with a Bigsby though. Edited March 7, 2013 by stoker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiltyG565 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Not too bad, but the one in the OP does look like a toy. And the whammy bars just look stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassection Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 The shape's not bad, but the finishes turn me off a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Rocket Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Looks like a double-cut version of the nighthawk shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Adams Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I think Mel Gibson designed that one. Without that whammy bar it'd be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-bbb Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 [quote name='fumps' timestamp='1360056233' post='1963994'] I wonder if they will lower the action to a gnats c*ck level [/quote] i would prefer my cock to be covered in gnats than buy one of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
