Members damnuandurdog Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 This is also immediately what I thought of. And immediately after that, I thought of how ed said in some interview how awful the instrument sounded after he cut that giant chunk of wood out of it then tried to compensate by adding those metal pieces but didn't help. Good job gibson Gotta link on the eddie interview per chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JerEvil Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 Nah, It's like a cross between the Killer guitars that Akira Takasaki used to use and an explorer. I have seen worse. Look at those abominations Halo puts out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JonVengeance Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 I heard that when you dive bomb on the tremolo version, chum shoots out of the back, for that "Jaws" effect. How is that possible considering it has a TOM bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dolf Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 The only thing about the red SG-thingy that sucks is the pickguard. If it had a different PG, that guitar would be sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members M-III Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 I can't fault Gibson for trying at least, but this was not a well thought out idea obviously... For maybe $1500 or even $1700 I could see this being marketable, perhaps on par with Jackson's or ESP's simular high-end offerings in the "metal guitar" circles,(with darker finishes, black hardware and high output pickups/EMGs perhaps) but $2700?!?! Who the hell are they kidding? What are you smoking Gibson?!!!! Because I want some of it too! It's {censored} like this that makes me reconsider selling my M-IIIs and going back to Jackson.

Members missingastring Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 The ad copy in that link is hysterical. It almost makes me wonder if it's a joke.You know those memes where they take ads for milk, or eggs, or whatever, and say "this {censored} will blow your {censored}ing mind", or something...It's like that.

Members again with this Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 I kinda like it... But If I were to spend upwards of $2500 on a pointy guitar, it wouldn't be that. I would want sharper knees, I mean points... and a Floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sabotage69 Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 So these are selling at the msrp? I didn't think so. $1,665 - http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibson-Limited-Run-Shark-Fin-Electric-Guitar-527780-i1460405.gc?CJAID=10449560&CJPID=3421984 And all of the guitars like those in this thread were inspired by the original gibson explorer anyway.
