Members tiltsta Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 the HCS stands for heritage cherry sunburst. Of course, the did it in sparkles. I remember these finishes on LP customs from the late 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fiveoclockhero Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 A Gretschson? I know with some of the more elaborate trappings of the White Falcon and whatnot, Gretsch has a reputation for showy instruments but I don't know that they've ever produced ANYTHING that garish and ostentatious before. That scarred my retinas. Gretsch usually look quite classy and stylish by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 Ok, I think it's hideous, but it may actually look cool under stage lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hubert Stumblin Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 I like it. Me too. It does have a "Gretschson" thing goin' on. Sorta has a vibe that you get from custom cars with monster metal flake on 'em. Beats steamin' {censored} out of another black pointy guitar any day of the week.

Members dc* Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 I think after spending too long on my current assignment my 'taste filter' might be warped but swap out the gold hardware for chrome and lose the perspex pick guard and I'd certainly rock it.

Members BlackCat Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 I ran into a guy a blues jam last year and he had a guitar he called "the worlds ugliest Les Paul". It had a Bigsby, "f" holes, and it was candy apple red. I thought it looked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guitar Heel Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 I really kind of like it (minus the gold hardware), but I'm certainly not cool enough to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members VRob98 Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 Ha. Much as I love bling and sparkle, that might be too much even for me.
