    I’ve actually played one of these guys a few times & while I agree that the pickups are not the typical Gibson sound they’ve got a low impedance thing that’s not awful. Plus aside from it being pretty heavy for a V it was extremely comfortable to play!

      Oh I get that, but it is really expensive to come out with a new model. It just seems like a big waste of money.

        I feel like most of these pics are actually for Trade Show Booth Bait only.

        How can people be so ****in dumb? don't they draw out or visualize their guitar before committing to a **** design?

            Real guitar; I think it was made for the Guitar Of The Month promotion that they ran for a year or two.

              I agree with itsabass: the pickguard is bad but that Moderne-ish headstock is appalling!
              Half the guitats in this thread I would love to own. The others...not so much.
