How many of you actually read the stuff instead of just ogling the pictures. The acoustic has 24 frets.... which necessitated a change in the internal bracing. For me - that is telling when Gibson makes a deal with a metal guy on an acoustic guitar that is a new ground up design. THAT is a commitment many companies wouldn't even attempt. I am impressed as hell with Gibson over that.

I made it as far as the stupid quote about KISS and Gibson bei g "the best period" and started skimming.

The most popular thread I've ever made was 1) a joke and 2) based around literally the most inane/mundane question I could think of. That says something about me, or all of you, or both.

Green finish is cool, but the guitar is ugly. Looks like something Gibson would have thought up in the '80s and only produced for 6 months.
Kramer looks great! Why couldn't they have stuck with that design and just put the other finishes/inlays on it? Heck, they could've made a proper Kramer USA model instead of a "Gibson" version and really helped strengthen the brand.

Yet they can't figure out how to allow reasonable access to all 24 frets on the electrics. Real innovation

Maybe it is the pictures but I didn't like the inlays on the fretboard on the Kramer or the Gibsons.

I would think it is difficult to not exactly rebuild his past signature models. He likes what he likes for a reason.Administrator of the SDUGF

If that was offered with a real OFR (and keep it gold too, like real gold for the likely price) it would be on my guitar wish list near the top. The mature V.Last edited by dave74; 02-25-2021, 04:24 AM.

The natural wood looks the best to me, but I hate those shapes. Would never play 'em. I also don't care much for artist models in general. I like what I like, and I play what feels comfortable to me. Just because Megadeth happens to be one of my favorite metal bands of all time doesn't mean I'm going to buy Dave Mustaine's signature guitar. Especially when Dave is basically just all about the money these days.
