Hell(oween) has frozen over, I am actually liking a... GASP... Gibson!!!

Well, not any kind of Gibson obviously, a very specific Custom Shop Gibson V that I've loving for very obvious reasons...
(Hint 1, my avatar)
(Hint 2, tonight Helloween+Gamma Ray were playing in Athens and I was there)

I saw Michael Weikath playing it and in the beginning I wans't sure what I was looking at. Googled it as soon as I got home. I am not usually a V fan but I find this to be all kinds of cool!!!

That was a cool video to watch. I love painted guitars like this. Some guitars these days don't have enough colour in them. I'm working on a multi-coloured strat project myself.

Wow, that looks totally trippin'.

I am an 80s child (literally, I was born and grew up in the 80s) but never had the chance to be a teenager in the 80s. There are certain aspects I find to be ridiculous (like the hair/clothes) but some others that seemed a lot more honest to me than what people are doing today.

In this case, painting a guitar in a way that is personalized specifically to you and your life/past/story is sth that is so much more honest than having a quadruple-A Flamed/Spalted top with some Quilting here and there (not that I don't love that too mind you).
Just as long as it doesn't get ridiculous (except in a good way!)

That's badass that they airbrushed the back of the neck too.

being an 80s metal guy, Ive always wanted a Kline painted Kramer or guitar with a custom graphic like that painted by Mike Learn or something. Maybe if I gigged out, Id go to the expense.

Hehe, actually, I want out was the song they ended they show with, BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER!!! For that song Gamma Ray came out on stage together with Helloween and you would see Kai Hansen playing along-side Markus Grosskopf and Sascha Gerstner (talk about David and Goliath!!!) and Henjo Richter right next to Michael Weikath. It was a great show!!!

Uhhh... no, thanks.

Well, they do say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and AFAIC this is the coolest Gibson I've ever seen in my life and I've seen plenty...

could do w/out the cigarette. something a bit more detailed/epic, like the walls of jericho cover art would look better on a guitar IMO. their cartoony stuff is ok for certain things, but has a cheapy feel to it, like an airbrushed t-shirt from a boardwalk tourist trap store.
