Members brianeharmonjr Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 HERE - only small pics though So, according to that Guitar World article, they're all going to be cheapies? The most expensive being $450 MSRP? So, these are going to be cheap packages sold through Gibson/Epiphone dealers I suppose. It looks like they just have a signature on the headstock. The pictures are small, but I don't see a Gibson or Epiphone logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Drifter182 Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 I won't lie, I'd like to try one of these out, but if they are gonna be package guitars I have my doubts. I thought they were gonna be a production model or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members andreas Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Extreme fail. Actually, it'll probably fly off the shelves (lots of dads/grandfathers buying a Hendrix guitar + "10 watt Max Feedback amplifier" kits for their young ones. Like one of the comments on the GW page said - this from a company that sued PRS over trade dress infringements (the Singlecut looking too much like a Gibson guitar)... now they put out a slightly bent strat shape with an upside down Yamaha Pacifica headstook (black guitar) or Zion/Suhr headstook (white guitar). They will probably sell, like the other guitar/amp packages that seem to litter the music stores these days, but still a huge :facepalm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JorisBlack Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Yeah I also think they're gonna sell a lot of beginner kits like that. But I don't approve that Gibson is making this guitar. A Squire would have been more appropriate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jhamnett Posted September 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 So the trems are normal? Why they hell is there a huge route in the back of the guitar body? Also, pickguard even though the controls are through the body? So, in order to fix or change a pickup, I gotta take the knobs off? FAIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members andreas Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 I'd think the guitars in the first post are more expensive versions coming later, possibly with some sort of Kahler/Jazzmaster type tremolo. The ones in the articles are the cheapo beginner's pack versions. The headstock pictured in the OP looks quite different than the ones on the budget guitars. So, that'd be a line of budget Hendrix strats from Gibson and a deluxe line of Hendrix strats, sans pickguard and with a weird tremolo, also from Gibson. I know it might not seem like it, but I am truly at a loss for words... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Small Stone Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 ...possibly with some sort of Kahler/Jazzmaster type tremolo... Just like Hendrix is known to have used. Jimi mojo, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jules-RM Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Judging from the headstock and body shape there is no justification for a lawsuit. It's just different enough. Barely. I can't imagine any serious Hendrix aficionado would buy anything but a Strat. Leftie if they play right handed, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
