Have you seen the Digital Les Paul's?

Hmm, I have never seen these before or seen them mentioned. I don't lead that sheltered of a life I don't think. They look interesting. I wonder what they cost, I bet it's gonna be quite a bit.

It's been around for a while. It is interesting to me because of how you can process each string individually. People have done interesting things with doublenecks... I'm sure people will be coming up with interesting tricks on this as well. But the tone is off... it doesn't sound right to me. It's probably just the way they have it dialled in though...

The thing I like about them is you don't lose your classic connection and pickups. From the looks of it you can swap the Normal pups and run them out the classic out and still have the Gibson Hex available if you want. I would love to get my hands on a schematic. When in "Hex" mode there is only a master volume.

I am all for innovation, but I am afraid this guitar will be well out of the price range of most musicians.
I bet other companies will be able to do it cheaper. Hex pickups have been around since the early 70s.
John McLaughlin has been touring with nothing but a guitar (a non digital Gibson Johnny Smith) and a Laptop running Native Instruments Guitar Rig- an amazing program.

My understanding is that each string has its own pickup. I could be wrong.

Most Gibsons already are out of the price range of most musicians.
