Members GreaserMatt Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 Sorry, but that guitar will actually be sold as a 'relic', for more money than one w/out the scratches, LOL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted December 8, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 8, 2009 Gibson got the Tiger as a bonus in those special orders of wood from Madagascar. Cause tigers are from Madagascar right? Oh dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundcreation Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 The top looks like it was made from 70's wall paneling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoneNut Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 OMG a guitar company thats is actually trying to produce new instruments and integrate modern technology into them. get that {censored} out of here. its new. i hate new. i want a guitar thats 50 years behind the times, i can only do one thing with and is a hassle to keep pristine. i dont get why ppl get on gibson for trying new designs out. if a guitar company never tried anything, then nothing new will ever come, NOTHING! we would still be playing acoustics if it weren't for ppl that tried to change. so i applaud Gibson for stepping out and trying new guitar and guitar designs every once and a while. they know that people will love a tobacco burst LP now and 100 years from now but how would life be if we never had change? also, why is gibson the only one that gets bashed here? if a private luthier would have made this instrument, so of you would be saying how amazing and creative it is but because it is gibson, you want to stick it to the man. last time i checked, when has fender come out with some this inovative. the strat with the roland pup in it yes, but anything else? if you actually research what this guitar does, its a very versitle machine. not just something to noodle on. you can buy a cheap guitar to do that on. this is for a new generation that hip to computers and electronics. not the 50 somethings that want a lp, marshal and thats it. (nothing wrong with that though, i would love both) but this isnt geared towards you guys. its geared towards the younger people who cant afford to have 100 guitars in their collection and go and produce music. mabey have a little help from mom and dad in there too. but i am happy gibson is making change. stirring the water. making waves with all their designs. some dont work as well as others do but at least they want to go in other directions. rant over. take for it what you will. i like the guitar and what it does. i like it, you dont, who cares what either one of us think. Paragraphs are our friends. I don't dislike it because it's a Gibson. I dislike it because it's fookin' ugly as sin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alex W Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 Paragraphs are our friends.I don't dislike it because it's a Gibson. I dislike it because it's fookin' ugly as sin. The guy is talking about Gibson trying to take things in a new direction. The top looks like wood paneling from the 70's. How is that a new direction? I don't think anyone has really jumped on Gibson for putting technology in a guitar. It jut looks like it was designed by a blind man from the 70's.

Members cross.bones Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 I don't understand why gibson do this. Loads of useful technology then make it look like {censored}. Why not make it look like a guitar that already sells well then add the Tech. A bit like the VG strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Engl Kramer Posted December 8, 2009 Members Share Posted December 8, 2009 I think its great that Gibson are trying new radical designs. Its just a shame that every one of them thus far looks like cack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dougie.Douglas Posted December 15, 2009 Members Share Posted December 15, 2009 Sure, but you'll have to pick it up, yourself. I'd suggest bringing a small gazelle, but, like most Gibsons, it still might cost you an arm or a leg. That was very well played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MickSlick Posted December 15, 2009 Members Share Posted December 15, 2009 Whatever!?? I guess it's nice to see them try new things, but this, like so many of their other "special" new stuff, just looks silly and will look really stupid a year or two down the road. For example "Robot Guitars" 1) What a totally cheesy name "Robot" 2) Auto Robot Tuners??? Doesn't that just scream, not really practical and it will break soon. They want to be a serious iconic company but these moves seem to be going the other direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CME Posted December 15, 2009 Members Share Posted December 15, 2009 I liked this.....:poke: Q:What else did you do?A: I said we are going to increase prices. Prices were ridiculously low. And people said, the price has been decreasing 20% a year, how can you reverse that? I said I'm just going to double the prices on a lot of models. I actually tested it and got an inverse price curve. Basically it showed that every time I raised prices a certain amount, volume would go up.

Members 's mel gibson Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Gibson probably made it out of endangered Tigerwoods. Ahahahaha! Endangered Tigerwoods! Especially if Elin has a solid golf club. He is definitely endangered. In our case, it would be appropriate she used a "Ping". That company makes Floyd Roses don't they? Kahler makes golf clubs as well. I can almost see a signature golf club. "Elin's whammy,..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
