Pffft, yeah like bj armstrong. This was my point about people suggesting Johnny Marr has'nt played a Jaguar long enough to justify a sig model. If so then WTF is all this about, yet again.

A couple weeks back I got an email that they were having a contest to name that guitar. My submission was "The Chode".

Honnestly, this is just an LP Studio with an ugly top and a piezo bridge.
Nothing that shocking about the guitar itself other than it's vomitesque looks.
What offends me about this is how Gibson justifies this sig model on account of him being the "Most versatile artist in rock".

That claim, even with allowances from the filthiest perversions of thought, doesn't even remotely come close to truth.

Every time I have ever seen Kroeger he has had a PRS in is hand. That is definitely selling out.

PRS is way better quality than Gibson these days anyway. That is why Gibson sued PRS and LOST!
