If that cost me a hundred quid I'd be stoked. Like but wouldn't spend much on it.thedudes wrote:That acoustic is almost as bad looking as the new tiger guitar thingy. Gibson have some really poor designs, look at this!

Well it's a once off prototype made in the 80s, I don't think they'll be bringing it back.analogsystem wrote:The hyperspeed looks really cool at least (to me). Does it have a MIDI out? If so, it'd be a cool looking synth guitar if nothing else. I guess there is a tiny tiny market for those.

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