New Gibson Solidbody Model Revealed

[guitarweasel]

Hmmm.... looks suspiciously to this guy.....

 

[Six String]

4 grand? I can get a pretty decent vintage SG for that............ just sayin'.

 

[Six String]

...... but come to think of it... I'm just an old stinker.

 

[guitarweasel]

You're right on both counts Sixer.....

 

[Biddlin]

That thing looks like it weighs 6 or 7 kilos. Tak can have it.

Let me admit that i like the shape and the proportions of the guitar.

 

[BGood]

A PRS badly drawn in kindergarten. Everything in that shape is bleh. Tips that wash out with no hook to them, are the worst.

 

[DonP]

No, this is a poor effort - probably designed by a committee. It is nothing of anything. Makes no statement.

Better an old stinker than a fresh turd.

I actually kind of like the Tak Matsumoto guitar. I like the pickup selector on the upper bout. Unfortunately, it looks a little too similar to a Les Paul double-cut to be really distinctive.

One problem, though, is that "Tak Matsumoto" doesn't roll off the tongue as easily as "Les Paul."

 

[Col Mustard]

Gibson hopes it will be the Next Big Thing... They keep trying to have one, and guitarists
have to keep slapping them back, saying "NO! we want the Last Big Old thing... made like we
claim you used to... We ain't fallin for no banana in our tailpipe!"

"Guitarists have been making it plain to Gibson that they want the '59 Les Paul, and the '63 'Bird
and the '66 SG etc etc etc... (add the model and year of your choice, as long as it ain't recent...)

Better an old stinker than a fresh turd.

Not EVEN touching that one....

 

[Six String]

The merge is done and check is in the mail........

 

[Tony M.]

The merge is done and check is in the mail........

Thank you much.

 

[Six String]

.............. for the merge or the check?

 

[Tony M.]

The merge because I already have that.
I'll thank you for the check when it clears.

Back to the first picture in the opening thread: did You notice the LP in Nato-green with Tremolo? To me that's a real design sin. Maybe it is a suitable instrument for the Bigband of the Bundeswehr (the German Army).

 

[RVA]

looks like a wilshire and a Lester had a baby

Or Paul Reed Smith and Eddie Van Halen. We can call it the PRSEVH solid body - or EVHPRS - your call

 

[Sérgio]

Meh.

 

[Paul G.]

Forget about all that, what is the 4th guitar from the front, natural with double florentine cutaways? Looks intriguing!!
