Not the worst thing that they've come up with lately. Has some advanced wiring features, too. I'd be curious to try one.

I wonder if those humbuckers can growl? Or do they just roar?

It's a tasteless look that is unarguably vomitous.

They oughta sell lots, judging from the positive comments from fans of ugly on that site.

Look for them in every pimply flog-a-torium across America.

Is that a camouflage pattern on back? The top wood looks like early sixties veneer. Those asymmetric (middle east-inspired?) chrome plates are bizarre-looking to me. I couldn't find any full on photos of the thing, but I found a nifty hyperbole-free blurb about it at gibson.com:

it also captures a stunning new look that is arguably more refined than anything Gibson has ever produced

Wow.

I think it's supposed to be tiger skin on the back. I don't give it much on looks, considering what they could be doing with their design legacy. Made to look flashy and sell, I guess. I'd like to see what it can do, though.

Wow, 'Tiger Feet' is some kind of terrible! I must confess to smiling when they play 'Rocket' though. That affected Elvis schick totally works (heck, a few guys have based their whole careers on it).
