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

My thinking exactly

Search Warrants Served At Gibson Plant

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

Does it come with robot tuners?

... it also captures a stunning new look that is arguably refined ...

Did they realize the double-entendre there?

Oh, and the Tripe Packers of America want the title of this thread changed!

+1 could be very cool

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.

Warning:playing this guitar my cause Tiger Feet!

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).

Yummm...tripe!
