I've seen them on Musicians Friend's Gibson guitar of the month and yes its fucking ugly. Gibson releasing only ugly guitars would be the like the Beatles releasing only Ringo's songs. I mean they have the means to create some nice guitars but for some fucked up reason they just dont!

Build some more SG's with maestro's you fuckface bastards!! :x

Another innovative model from Gibson. If they ONLY made Les Pauls, SGs, and 335s as electrics, that'd be fine. But they slap the same pickup config, bridge and tail piece on every fucking thing they do, which is then only slightly different LPs, SGs and other messy blocks of wood.

They shaped the headstock like a fist for obvious reasons.

Paint it metallic grape soda flake and he might actually have a shot.

Looks like one of their employees came in drunk and just started slapping shit together. They'll probably sell like 50 of them and 40 years from now they'll go for a $100,000.00 on ebay.

personally i think the headstock is ugly as hell.
the body could be alright. especially if they used the firebird stock.
i don't understand the unlays at all.
one at the 5th and 12th?

The headstock is kinda like the Moderne which I've always thought was sort of cool, but they managed to screw that up with whatever they did with the tuners.
