The Salvation of Gibson

[RIC_FACTORY]

My favorite comment that I saw was "the only thing it lacks is homing/gps capability so it can find its way to the nearest woodchipper..."

Well, to paraphrase my band mate Meatball, "I wouldn't play that thing at a donkey show!"

I've looked at this several times and contemplated it, too, while puffing on a nice Rocky Patel blunt and refretting my favorite customers' classic Ricks this past week of evenings...

...and instead of answers, I get things boiled down to one question:

How can a company that's an American icon, virtually synonymous with the word, "guitar" to many people for over a hundred years, put their best efforts into something, and not get one bloody thing right?

(Can you tell I'm a bit outraged?)

I mean, we could go through every major aspect and minor detail here, virtually write a book-length review on this monstrosity, and come up bupkis.

Everything's wrong, and the answer is obvious.

I wasn't referring to the pickups in particular Jeff. His whole, this is revolutionary premise is what's at issue.

Never mind!

So, you don't like it then?

...Everything's wrong,...

Paul, exactly what are you trying to say?

The frettboard does look OK thou....

There's also the fact that the body is almost a complete ripoff of the Kauer Daylighter guitar.
