Beer of the Bass Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) I guess tastes vary, because other than the scribbly finish I would cheerfully play one of those. The natural maple one on the website looks great IMO. Edited February 1, 2013 by Beer of the Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Burns Bison or whatever re-issue? Not for me, sorry. I am a Gibson bass lover, the ES335 bass will finish my marriage lol, but will be worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of gibson guitars aren't that great to look at. This one is something fresh and eye catching, you have to remember that they are trying to appeal to new customers, and while lots of people love the old LP and SG's, some people just want something more modern. It has more of the appeal that a strat would have with it's soft rounded contours and flowing shape. The bottom cut-away looks great, looks like it would maintain that SG access to the very last fret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Looks like one of those Playstation/X Box controller things (sorry, I'm incredibly old and feel like the judge who hadn't heard of the Beatles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethFlatlands Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hmm, just get a Gordon Smith if you want a double cut, and for less money too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Vader Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Is that the return of the horrible Maestro Trem system as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettsguitars Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 For the guitar hero generation. I firmly believe Gibson have had their day. Just too monstrous a company to appeal to me anymore. I always imagine execs sitting around a boardroom coming up with these things. Not rock n roll anymore is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 It is a little bit like one of the controllers but I think that's mostly the finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I like the red one. It needs the full-length Maestro tail-piece though, and chrome hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr M Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Wow, after all of Gibson's rage with other companies ripping off their designs, I'm surprised to see them ripping off Line 6. That thing looks just like the original Variax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Vader Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 nice to see they've paid attention to Mr Phillips though, single coil at the neck (for blues) and a humbucker at the bridge (for metal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
