Camstone Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Would have been fun to be a fly on the wall at the Gibson meeting where someone put this idea forward and the other managers in the room agreed. Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Prof Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 7 minutes ago, Ed Rechts said: Henry is a genius. This will surely save the company, to have their signature model painted like a 1974 AMC Gremlin Those things are an insult to the '74 Gremlin. ETA: Those color combos and stripes look less like custom "boogie" vans and more like cabover semi tractors of the '70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgstandard Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I like the yellow "bell bottom". Needs a yellow switch tip. But I'll pass at $4,999! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 You guys have no idea how many times I have thought about sending a Les Paul to Stike to get a finish just like these new Gibsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie G. Moseley Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 If I was gonna spend approx. that amount of $ on a Les Paul Custom, I'd opt for a Peter Frampton CS sig model, which used to be around that price point but I'd imagine it's gone up if still available. Main attraction to that model would be/would have been three pickups that could be operated in any configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugartune Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 To echo what some others have said, I don’t mind the finishes, but I certainly dislike the price. Even when they eventually make it to the clearance rack....might be a hard sell. Who knows. I wonder how those $5k LP Specials in Fender colours sold...

django49 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Plan? I suspect Henry is marshaling his personal cash to secretly buy back the debt when the creditors see stuff like this and throw in the towel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
