Members songsforbears Posted May 7, 2010 Members Share Posted May 7, 2010 I actually like it. I generally go for reissues, but if I were to get a "modern" guitar, that would be what I would get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members germs Posted May 7, 2010 Members Share Posted May 7, 2010 that BFG was a sleeper hit for Gibson. that's why they jacked up the prices and then stopped making them. good luck finding one for sale for a reasonable price... this is the next step in the line. guitarists like the pickup combination...i'm not enamoured with this particular combination. perhaps they'll release something better looking soon.

Members Tidal Rhythm Posted May 7, 2010 Members Share Posted May 7, 2010 Mehhhhhh. I like the pup combo, but I'm not big on the robot tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 59refin Posted May 7, 2010 Members Share Posted May 7, 2010 Maybe if Gibson could properly cut a guitar nut, they wouldn't need robot tuners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 6StringSling Posted May 7, 2010 Members Share Posted May 7, 2010 ...but seriously. the thing is butt ugly. wtf were they thinking? I know what I'm thinking - there is nothing butt uglier than a guitar with white/cream-colored P90s. P90s are ugly anyway but at least black ones hide most of the ugliness.

Members alphamarquis Posted May 7, 2010 Members Share Posted May 7, 2010 I think it's cool. I've always kind of wanted a robot guitar. I think it would allow me to use alternate tunings more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members roners5 Posted May 7, 2010 Members Share Posted May 7, 2010 that's fugly... instead of coming up with something good/new, they just took a 68 RI and added some {censored} that looks out of place but in their defense, every time they come up with a "new" look, the enthusiasts scoff at it (cough darkfire cough... although i'm not gonna defend dusk tiger or whatever that abortion of a guitar is cause whoever put that into production is an idiot.)

Members sxyryan Posted May 7, 2010 Members Share Posted May 7, 2010 I dig it. I'm not real into block inlays though. I have good ears too, so the robot tuning is about useless for me. Neat idea though. I wonder if the P90 cover is metal or plastic. I dunno if it changes the sound at all, but if that P90 cover is plastic and chromed, I can't imagine the finish lasting that long.

Neat idea though. Good ears? With most tuners on the market it is hard to get tuned within .2% and the tronical tuners can get within .1%. It may not seem like much but that's twice as accurate...

Members metalheadUK Posted May 7, 2010 Members Share Posted May 7, 2010 I dont mind the concept (upmarket BFG?) BUT I dont want that robot tuning {censored} under any circumstances...I like to generally tune my G a little flat and my D a fraction sharp, I dont want a locling jack socket, and the tailpiece is hideous. Other than that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
