Members jhamnett Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 http://www2.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/Blogs/Gibson-USA.aspx Images of the new Gibson + Experience Hendrix venture. Set neck. HUGE tremolo cavity. Controls not mounted on a pickguard. Funky headstock. No awesome surface mounted output jack. Likely a 24.75" scale. Last pic, you can see the "Experience Hendrix" logo on the neck heel. So Gibson's making a Hendrix guitar that Jimi never played. Ever. Let's just say there a lot to dislike. EDIT: something weird is going on with the pictures. Hit refresh and you'll hopefully see all 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That page is being really weird right now. It's likely they're editing it. TBH, the headstock is the one thing I don't mind so much. Everything else...
