It does look a bit like a nose!

If that cost me a hundred quid I'd be stoked. Like but wouldn't spend much on it.

I like the stetsbar on the hyperspeed though as it gives the eye something to look at.

I think a normal black les paul custom would be better though....so there is really no point to any of this rambling.
Well it's a once off prototype made in the 80s, I don't think they'll be bringing it back.

It's cool to see Gibson was doing this in the 80s, way before the Line 6 varilax.
