Members Pine Apple Slim Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 or... Be prepared to be even more underwhelmed than we are at present. PS: The Ouija board here is telling me that Gibson will announce a revolutionary new line of "green" environmentally sensitive Les Pauls made of recycled materials. What is that? I like it.

Members Elias Graves Posted October 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 You'd think they would have an "uprising" plastered all over the front of the website, but ou have to dig down three layers into "lifestyle" to find anything at all.

Members RaVenCAD Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 I saw that one.. I figured, like you, there would be something bigger on the main site. The spoiler about the USB guitar that'll pop up Amplitube and all that....... That's pretty friggin cool. Maybe not for professional touring musicians who are above such novelties ( ), but for kids learning to play and even hobbyists, that'd be awesome. Revolutionary? Well, maybe, if they handle it right.. More exciting than just about anything Gibson has done since the Flying V and Explorer annoyed parents and pastors everywhere? Most definitely..EDIT: Oh, and the day they start rolling guitars branded "Gibson" out of China, they'll do more to devalue their brand than even old Norlin managed to pull off..

Members vcnyls Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 Just posted this in the other thread about this as well but, my office is near the Hard Rock Cafe. I'm busy till 12:30 but am going to swing up there after that and try to get an in-person peep at the guitar (or whatever the hell it is). I'll report back and post some photos after that.

Members RaVenCAD Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 Wait, I've got it figured out.. Remember "IT"? How "IT" was going to change the world? Well, "IT" turned out to be the Segway, which, well, is retarded... So Gibson decided to blend a Segway and a Les Paul, we'll call it the "SegPaul" for now, and the purpose is to keep all the aging rockers mobile while on stage. Face it, all the good guitar players are getting old and some are probably having trouble getting around at this point. The younger generation obviously sucks, judging from virtually everything published within the last decade, so they want to keep the guys that knew how to bring teh rawk around as long as possible..

Members sk8centilli Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 Gibson attempts outside of tradition: Les Paul Recording RD Artist with Moog electronics Les Paul HD6X Pro Powertune Robot Dark Fire Dusk Tiger Ltd. Edition Standard (oxymoron?) I think Gibson might consider creating a new brand to market these endeavors. They're good ideas, but I think they fail because they are too far out of scope for the Gibson name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
