Apart from the headstock, I think it's cool. The headstock might grow on me because it's silly looking, and silly looking headstocks aren't always a bad thing. Also, massive headstocks can only be a good thing.

Also, wrong forum. Could a mod move this?

I'd have one of them.

Fail...... if you want a headstock like that buy a Dean

Indeed. Dean should sue them for copying the look, because someone might see the guitar from a distance and think the guy was playing a Dean, so Gibson would lose a potential... wait... no, Gibson should sue themselves, right?

I would like it if it had a normal headstock and only 2 pickups.

not really, I like that the body looks sort of reminiscent of the 70's LP designs.. not really like a normal standard or custom.

I'm not really a fan of the bound top without a bound fretboard and the knob placement can fuck off. It's pretty cool otherwise. I agree with others that have said the headstock makes it look like a Dean.

At least that headstock looked like it belonged on the hideous mouse cursor-esque Reverse V. Maybe it would look good on an Explorer.

that switch is actually my favourite bit.

I'm amazed that this is genuine Gibson.

Fail... again.

one of the ugliest guitar around :vomits:

Haters. Les Paul would've rocked that.

I, for one, think it's a decent attempt at doing something different without stumbling into Robot Dusk Tiger Firebird X territory.

Hell, I'd play one. Disable the middle pickup, maybe do an blacktop or whitetop, then rock.

I like it. The headstock looks like the one from the Moderne

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that it pre-dates Dean guitars.
