velorush Posted January 23 Posted January 23 When did the Kamererererer (sp? potato guitar guy) dude go to work for Gibson? 1 6 Quote
crunchee Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Kinda looks like they stole a pickguard design (the white part) from a Music Man St. Vincent. 5 Quote
veatch Posted January 23 Posted January 23 And the black pickguard part from the partridge family... 1 1 6 Quote
RobB Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Gibson’s answer to another question that was never asked. The dual pickguards make it look too busy and awkward. I like the back contours, though. 2 Quote

Steve Haynie Posted January 24 Posted January 24 That Atomic Age model immediately gave the impression it should be displayed alongside some of Gibson's lap steels from the 1950's. Quote
Disturber Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Reminds me of those message boards posts when some carpenter built his own guitar design. Without any skill in design. These instruments are always really ugly. And you sit there by the keyboard thinking you should write a post to tell him. But you know it will be really hurtful, so you don't bother. 1 3 1 Quote
veatch Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I'm really starting to question my posture on "I'm a friend of all guitars..." 6 Quote
Steve Haynie Posted January 24 Posted January 24 You know, one could take a saw and grinder to that body, patch in some wood, make a new pickguard, and redesign everything on that experiment, then send it back to Gibson as having the kinks worked out in the design flaws. 2 Quote
hamerhead Posted January 24 Posted January 24 "Gibson had a secret offset prototype hidden in its private room at NAMM 2026..." Can't imagine why. 1 2 Quote
hamerhead Posted January 24 Posted January 24 ...although it was nice of them to let the 4-year-old son of the janitor loose with a jigsaw. 2 Quote
scottcald Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Did Henry come back and use the AI machine to help him with this? That's awful. 3 Quote

veatch Posted January 29 Posted January 29 I blame it on the fact that he *did* save a copy in his file cabinet. Note to self - clean out my file cabinet... 2 6 Quote
DaveL Posted February 4 Posted February 4 They've made the reverse flying V look not that BAD! which I didn't think was possible. 1 Quote
veatch Posted February 4 Posted February 4 I bet it would (should) sound great, but it looks like a sleeveless sweater hung over a kitchen chair. 2 Quote
