Looks like a slightly melted custom. Or the intern slipped with the bandsaw and they didn't want to waste the wood.
Gibson releases a new model. Theodore

It's uglier than the Tele. The Tele is utilitarian, whereas the Theodore is like a 6 year old's rendition of a guitar.
It's back...I do not hate it as much in cherry or black but I am still not buying one. I am almost digging the cherry.
Not for 2 grand, but I think the black one is kind of cool. I like the switch location. I don't mind the jack on the front either.

Nope, not at that price, but...it has a slim taper neck. Throw the 57 set in the trash and put in a BW or WLH set, and oh baby. I would rock that for part of the set just to see the confused look on everyone's face.

I mean, they're ugly. But I've seen Gibson do far worse. The RD comes to mind.

The original run had individual controls. So they made a Theodore Jr.? This one almost looks shorter scale than the first one (that or the body is bigger now?)

I think it's because it has a stoptail and a tune-o rather than a wraparound, so it looks like there's less empty space behind the bridge.

I can appreciate how every time Gibson puts out something new, guitar forums devolve as if Gibson is forcing people at gun point to buy the new instrument.
The new one looks alright, needs a better pickguard though.

Not me I have been GASing for a Les Paul double-cut for a while
For those who don't know the new LP DC was a response to the PRS 22 Singlecut being a Les Paul copy, so Gibson made a PRS 24 copy called the Les Paul Double Cut. One of Gibson's better new guitars, but you don't hear about it because people prefer stuff that riles Gibson hate
Just noticed that this thread is a year old.
I have to say that this guitar is soooo ugly that it hurts my head to look at it.
Yes, of course that is my opinion. But even if you look at it objectively (not considering esthetics at all), from a functional perspective, that guitar just doesn't make it.

It isn't just you. It is hideous. Despite the dubious history, Gibson really needs to hire new designers.
