Mr. Dave Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Has anyone here tried playing one of these? I see a UK retailer is offering a supposedly substantial discount on the list price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizanski Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I had the 1959 version some time ago. It was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dave Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 sorry my bad they're called 'double cut' not double cutaway - they had 2 others as well as this one when i looked earlier https://www.andertons.co.uk/brands/gibson/gibson-custom-shop-guitars/gibson-custom-shop-modern-double-cut-standard-metallic-alien-green-nh-mdcspsl11101cs701539 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizanski Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I don't hate it. The Firebird head stock would have gone better with the body, though, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Those might be good if someone else made them because guitar players only want the traditional Gibson models. I would like to try out that new Gibson Modern Double Cut. The only thing wrong is that it is new, so the body looks weird right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtrdaddy Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 To me it almost looks like a B3 knockoff with the wrong headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Dave Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 yes the one I'd originally seen was nicer looking with a flame maple top and a red-yellow sunburst reduced from about £3600 to £2399. They certainly weren't shy with the original prices. I thought the cutaways looked slightly PRS-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verily, verily. A 22-fret neck would have made for a better looking product, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchee Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 That's a 'Henry J.' era design, isn't it? That could drop the used price down to Tree Fitty or less.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Gibson definitely took inspiration from it. Gibson’s got balls suing people of theft of intellectual property LOL. 59 minutes ago, The Shark said: Like this?
