Blasphemy ! Gibson did it again

Re: Blasphemy ! Gibson did it again

I think it's a good idea. Not really my thing personally, but it fills a market niche for a group of people who have been pining for such an offering from Gibson for a long time.

Did what again? Made something other than exactly the same thing they've made every day since 50 years ago?
 
Re: Blasphemy ! Gibson did it again

dood it's like, $3,500 though. you could get something similar(equally good to boot) for thousands less.

Yeah. There's nothing wrong with innovations. I just happen to thinka that a sunburst Les Paul doesn't get any better with a locking vibrato in it.

That just cries for a pickguard:laugh2::laugh2:

I have to clap sarcastically every time Gibson steps one inch outside of their "build em the same and jack up the price" business plan.

I am with you, I prefer regular Les Pauls, but it's good for them to come out with something a little different every 30 years or so
 
Re: Blasphemy ! Gibson did it again

I love all the traditional Gibson models - hence my Historic LP Junior that's coming today - but I also think the LP Axcess and most of the GOTM guitars they've put out are refreshingly cool and different.
 
Re: Blasphemy ! Gibson did it again

This guitar has been out for a while.

It's a nice guitar but not my thing.

I prefer Les Pauls to be Les Pauls and Jackson Soloists to have Floyds.
 
Re: Blasphemy ! Gibson did it again

This pic makes me laugh and/or cringe. It's like it's from one of those "look what some dope on eBay did to a perfectly good LP, get the torches and pitchforks" kinda thread.

Thousands less with the Contoured Neck???

Please tell me where!

Cause thats my main problem with Les Pauls but this is the first production guitar i know that has the heel sculpted...
 
Re: Blasphemy ! Gibson did it again

I gotta say I like this better than the robot guitars. I actually think this is not a bad addition to the line, which will reach some players that would want something like this. It is better than the reverse V, the holy V, or the robots....but it still doesn't bring my faith back in gibson. Pass.
 
Re: Blasphemy ! Gibson did it again

If you think that's cool, check out the Neal Schon signature Les Paul. He was the first to put a Floyd on a LP with the 3rd Floyd ever made.

I think it's great, glad to see it. We guitarists are a fickle bunch, we want companies to innovate and then ridicule them when they do something new!

Yup. It makes me laugh when that happens. God forbid there's technical advances and changes in guitar designs.

One feature I like on the Schon LP is he reversed the stagger of the controls and spaced them out further. The one right below the bridge pickup is the master volume with the master tone below it.
 
Re: Blasphemy ! Gibson did it again

i like the heel but the floyd and rear rout for it suck. hard

The heel and tummy cut are cool. I hate the Floyd. If they wanted to put a really cool trem on an LP, they should have gone with something really forward-thinking like a Skyway.
 
Re: Blasphemy ! Gibson did it again

I don't like it myself but I'm sure theres a market for such a guitar.

I like it better than a Les Paul with a Bigsby!
 
Re: Blasphemy ! Gibson did it again

The floyd is fine.

But the belly cut? STONE THE HERETICS!
 
Re: Blasphemy ! Gibson did it again

I'd have a Bigsby on there instead...no dive bombing for me; I would only use it for a bit of waver.
