weird new Gibson

It looks utter turd, but I reckon there could be some mileage in the design.  Be nice to see them refine the cosmetics a bit though, nobody will want to buy that guitar on looks alone.

this is a complete miss... i like the top and the whole dark flame concept can be interesting (even if i don't think i'll ever buy a "robot" guitar), but that pickguard and pickup rings are hideous.
Mule, MQ, Stockholm, CS, RY, MM, PK, ANB, CNB, AWP, CWP, PiG90...

too many? ;)
