    Re: Oddball Gibson Thread....

    C'mon fellas, pulling pictures off the internet doesn't count, you have to actually OWN one!
    (I know, my photo was an internet grab but I actually DO own the Marauder, it just doesn't look as odd anymore as evidenced by my avatar.)

    I think the map guitars were meant to be collector items/promotional pieces. The fact that they actually thought people would BUY the X thing and the SGasm makes them MUCH weirder to my eye!

    Speaking of which, I bet a totally different pickguard could make that thing look a LOT better.

        There was a compressor and an expander. There was a boost too, I believe.

          Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of me playing my old one, but I had a '91 MIII Standard that was cool.

            I’m actually kinda surprised that nobody has posted a M3 yet.

            Cool guitars, too bad Gibson was about a decade late with the design.

            If they’d released them in 80/81 instead of 90/91 I bet they’d be a lot more popular today!

                  I think the Gibson Sonex-180 was an oddball version of the Les Paul. With a body made of resin it sparks a whole new tone-wood debate.

                    You know I kinda do too...

                    I’m not going to be spending $2,000+ on one but eventually I’ll come across one for under a grand & grab it up. I actually could have had one with a BAD short grained headstock break that I probably could have fixed given enough time, equipment, & energy but it was a scary one that was going to be expensive to fix so I passed....

                      LOL, don’t I know it!!!

                      I will say that some of the best sounding & playing Lesters I’ve ever been able to own have been Norlin era but there was a lot of garbage too....

                        I remember watching this review on the Gibson MIII. I think it's an awesome guitar with a Floyd Rose & 24 frets. They are cool looking offset guitars.

                          M3 was an awesome guitar, surprised that Gibson didn't bring that back instead of the modern double

                            Epiphone has done a few reissues of the M-III.

                              They're great in every way... except the "straying mom battle panty print" pickguard and trc, that's just wacky
