Funny since you play a Gibson ripoff done very poorly. Where is the R&D team for whatever brand made the gaudy thing in your avatar? Gibson is trying and from this thread it appears won some people over with the new design. Obviously it came from somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members superflyinmonke Posted October 23, 2012 Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 If it was a carved top, absolutely. With the flat top, it looks like a PRS SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soundgardener75 Posted October 23, 2012 Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 I would rock that for sure, just because I could never jive with any PRS guitar. Let the lawsuits begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarbilly74 Posted October 23, 2012 Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 Originally Posted by PhxdB What does Fender have that's new? It's still just Strat's and Teles.

Yeah I don't see Fender doing anything revolutionary either and they shouldn't. Gibson and Fender are classic brands and that's the way their customers want they to be. And yeah, they had their fair share of ugly guitars but again the vast majority of their guitars are awesome, unlike some brands that currently have 90% of their lines covered in abalone. I've owned Gibsons from pretty much every decade from the 70's til now (can't afford 50's and 60' guitars ) and they all have been great. I currently own a '94 and a '04 and they are great guitars and everything I expect a Gibson to be. Most of the Gibsons I try at stores are also really good. To be honest, the only place I "see" the issues with Gibson is the internet. Gibson bashing is kinda like FarmVille or something, just internet stuff that has no effect in real life.

Members Miter Gauge Posted October 23, 2012 Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 Originally Posted by PhxdB Classy. I like it!Reminds me of some of the PRS double cuts minus the heavy flame jobs. Not sure I understand what you mean about "flame jobs". I'm sure you know this but it probably bears mentioning. Flame, bird's eye and quilted maple all reference the natural grain of the particular board they use, no special technique is used for that grain wood verses plain grained wood. (even plain grained wood is bookmatched in most of the guitars I have seen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
