It's obviously that the black pickguard makes it look like the control plates are floating around randomly in space. On a lesser note using pickup rings with a pickguard is lame, like something Gibson would have done in the 80s. Lastly I don't like the way a TOM and stop tailpiece jarr with the jaguar curves.

+ eleventy. And it would be unsporting of me to nominate the Frankensonic while it's in the spam thread. If ever there was a guitar that divided opinion...

The next time (if there is one) that beautiful monstrosity appears in the classifieds it is MINE.

It's ugly, I don't deny it. It's a beautiful catastrophe.

I just saw one of these and remembered how repulsed I am by them

Flame Tops! This one's especially bad with the "dividing line" behind the bridge.

All flame tops should be finished as such that you cannot see that ugly grain.

MINE EYES!!!

The body's not that bad but that neck has so many types of wrong.
Gibson needs to stop with the maple fretboards, IMO they only look good with rosewood.

i thought gibson's had ebony fretboards?

Stan Kwervo · Post by **Stan Kwervo** » Fri Nov 06, 2009 1:07 am

I'm sure some do, but a majority have rosewood

Exhibit A taken from the SG standard page on Gibson's site :
"The SG Standard also boasts figured acrylic trapezoid inlays along its rosewood fingerboard."
