At first glance i didnt think it was a gibson. Its £4400. Very odd looking guitar.

I love LP's but i'm not a fan of this. Could get a lot of guitar/guitars for that money.
-
Who is designed this!?
And for £4400!
Come on Gibson, you're not even trying anymore!
-
The switch is wrong, the control layout is wrong, the headstock is DEFINATELY $%&#ED UP. I even think the case is wrong.
They wasted a good piece of Korina.
-
So we have the wood of a Flying V/Explorer, the headstock of a Futura, the switch of an ES-5 Switchmaster and a control layout from.... ???? :?
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of.... what? Korina? Certainly not the Les Paul Custom. :|
You sometimes have to wonder what they're smoking at Gibson. Or maybe it's the nitrocellulose fumes.
-
I'm sure thats been out for a while now. I could get over the control layout if the switch and headstock were normal.
Or a 6 way switch for the extra options of the 3 pickups
-
The wood looks great, the 3 'buckers look great..... that's about it I'm afraid! :(
-
and they say my Caddy is not good looking... :P
...this is the real Frankenstein.
-
I've seen this in the flesh at Guitar Guitar. Very odd looking thing, with original Explorer headstock from the 50s and that strange layout.
Still not sure if i like it tbh, maybe it sounds off the chain?

The control layout is that of a Non-reverse Firebird. :)

I'm a big fan of the Les paul but this is too far, controls don't make sense as far as I can see
-
i think i'll pass on this one
-
What the fugly?! It makes me want to sell my Gibson just out of principle. Ugly by association. :x
-
Is the idea that it contains parts of all different Gibson models?
Flying V Scale length or something?

Ah, well done, I knew it looked familiar. I should have spotted that. :)

if anything should be taken from a V i want a flying v 58 stop tail on this thing - it would really complete the weird look ;)
-
yeah, and polka dots custom paint job to really make those eyes bleed :lol:

I thought V's had the standard Gibson scale length anyway?

Yeah :P
I just didn't see anything there from a V.

That makes me so mad. I feel so ashamed I want to put a sticker over the logo on my les paul.
