Interesting. It's ugly, I can't decide if I like it.

It slightly reminds me of one Narco's projects. I like it, and I'm not a very big Gibson fan.

PUPs are ugly. Finish isn't too terrible - kinda psychedelic.

Dear gibson,
Slapping a tacky finish on a guitar is not progress. New Ideas please, run with the wilshire thing, it was a good start.

Remember that 'What makes a quality post?' thread? Having the content of a thread starting post be just a link in standard link format doesn't qualify.

If they would have used two-toned candy colored quilted maple for each laminate layer they could be arrested for making WMD.

That guitar is fine. All it needs is a refin.

I don't see what's wrong with raising it, it's exactly the sort of issue you wanted to discuss just a couple of weeks ago. There's no text to go with it, no image and no tidy URL. All you have to go on is 'Gibson is awesomer' and the fact the link is at the Gibson site.

Much better would be something as simple as

It needn't be a particularly balls to the wall post but it would at least have a little substance. It applies just as well to news stories and all sorts of other things.

The body of the Zoot Suit features a brand new body built with multiple birch wood laminate pieces (each one approximately .075� thick), each dyed with a different color then compressed and bonded together to form one solid block of wood. No paint is used. Each body is given two coats of satin nitrocellulose lacquer.
That's a pretty cool way of doing things, it's just a shame they have no taste in colour.

i see what you're saying, and again it's down to personal taste...but to me it takes 2 seconds to click a link...so yeah...not worth jumpin his baws over is all i'm saying...

no worries though, i get what you're saying about the "effort level" of the thread.

In my opinion, the finish looks amazing, really cool.

It has ebony fretboard, frets setted by plek, amazing.

But it has two problems:
It has LAMINATED WOOD and that sucks i think
And it's 944 euros, if you pay 100 more you'll have a brand new standard, and i think, my standard can fuck this sg.
