Members guitarman3001 Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 Do I want one or are they poop? Looks awesome but how do they play and sound? Sounds good enough with her playing it but how does it do for higher gain stuff? [YOUTUBE]v3Ehe03DEn8[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dougie.Douglas Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 They look pretty sweet to me. I think that maple neck really goes great with the white sounds pretty nice aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarman3001 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 How does it handle higher gain stuff though? It sounds good enough in that vid but it's hard to tell overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kirs Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 Does Gibson sponsor American Idol? Seems like everyone is playing a Gibson acoustic tonight and that girl has the Raw Power last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 59humbucker Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 How does it handle higher gain stuff though? It sounds good enough in that vid but it's hard to tell overall. I'd imagine so. It's pretty much a LP with added maple. the maple board will ad a bit of attack and brightness, but no more than an ebony boarded custom and there have been planty of maple necked LP's in the past including Zakk "uses a bit of gain" Wylde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mesa/Kramer Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 The entire Guitar is Maple (Body, neck, board) Should have a sharper attack, note wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarman3001 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 The entire Guitar is Maple (Body, neck, board)Should have a sharper attack, note wise I wonder if that wouldn't actually make it sound too bright and lose the warmth that a regular LP has. hrmm...maybe it's not for me.

Members DaveAronow Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 Damn that girl is talented. I am so far out of the loop, it has been years since I watched an episode of idol. When did they start letting the contestants play instruments? I have always said I would probably actually WATCH that show if they let the contestants play instruments while they sang, especially guitar.

Members BoneNut Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 Don't know much about the guitar but DAYAM that little girl knocks that one out of the park! If that's what's going on in American Idol, I'm going to start watching!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the last couple of seasons they've let them play an instrument once it got to the final rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there's a couple of girls worth watching this season. imo, only one of the guys can sing worth a crap. The chick in the video is probably in the top 3 chicks. Awesome voice and obviously very talented. And now thanks to her I want that damn guitar!!!! For 1200.00 though I'd definitely need to play one first. Not to mention, I don't have that kind of $$$ to begin with but if I saved up for a year....maybe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gas Hed Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 She's not playing the lead parts, so it is kind of hard to say the guitar sounds good based on the youtube vid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarman3001 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 She's not playing the lead parts, so it is kind of hard to say the guitar sounds good based on the youtube vid. exactly. Sounds fine with the rhythm she's playing but I want to know how it sounds all around. Rhythm, lead, clean, distorted, etc..etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KGrob Posted March 11, 2010 Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 I'm probably in a very small minority here, but I don't watch American Idol. However, I found that performance to be superb and I'm glad I watched it. Reminds me a little of Janis Joplin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarman3001 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2010 Cool version. imo, the best version of that song though was melissa etheridge. She absolutely killed it.
