Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
I was wondering when/if someone was going to post those.
I love the Explorer headstock, the ebony board and 24 frets. I like the bevel on the top showing the two different woods - what I don't like is the overall body shape (top horn in particular) and the pickguard.
Not their worst effort though. Much nicer than the original, with it's Firebird headstock, that doesn't match the rest.

Whoever looked at modern PRS burst schemes and thought "yeah let's copy that, but not their quality/reliability features"

Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
I actually can. It's a Tokai and was doing the rounds a few years ago on meme boards. Airbrushed and called the "me too edition" which seems gross and stupid all at the same time.

Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
It's listed under "Electric guitar" -> "Deformed guitar". They're not wrong!

I don't like the headstock, but I absolutely don't mind the Moderne body shape.

Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
I've always liked the moderne and the headstock, even with the built in 'String Butler'.
Would own, but not at that price though.

My life was a small degree happier before I knew of the existence of this.

You could put a calliper on that club foot and be done with it!
