Hmm, Grant started something... Just browsing their new models.
They infringed on my ebony pickups and binding on orange patent. Bugger!
At least I have used real timber, they probably used plastic. Actually, the whole bloody thing looks like it was made from plastic

Good Lord - what is going with that facial hair? This is a man under stress. As much as he’s an idiot, I hate seeing anyone look like that. His retirement plan left the building some 20 years ago.jvpp wrote: Guys, we'r losing money big time, we need to do something with all those wood offcuts... or else...

Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
Yeah I liked these neon LPC's too.
It seems like they chose to do all these bizarre guitars through the custom shop (maybe because these were all small runs). Some of these might've done OK as LP Studio models, but when people pay megabucks for a G CS they probably want it done as the classic stuff.

20 odd years ago there was the lp studio gem series... sapphire, emerald, ruby, and diamond I think. All pertaining to the [stereotypical] colours of said gems.
Believe they were all p90 laden too, very cool.

Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
I like it too, but it needs to be a standard model with a just below NZ$2K price tag. I would never pay nearly US$5k for it.willow13 wrote:I frikken love thatjvpp wrote:

100%, if this was a limited standard run, it'd be fun and kinda whacky. As a CS run it's expensive and tackyDanger Mouse wrote:I like it too, but it needs to be a standard model with a just below NZ$2K price tag. I would never pay nearly US$5k for it.willow13 wrote:I frikken love thatjvpp wrote:
