I just heard someone describe this guitar as the “Gibson Lawn Dart”

Just a truly ugly guitar.

WOW…I have never had such a visceral reaction to a guitar at first look before…I am not sure if I dig it or not, but it was kind of shocking…

Now that I look at it again, I think I like it in a twisted sort of way!

I still reckon it’ll balance better when sitting down that a regular V.

And in one fell swoop Gibson kills the potential resell value of a truly unique and rare guitar.

IMO, most people bought this guitar for its collectability. It would most definitely be a rare breed of axe. Now the only thing to differentiate it from the new release is the serial number.

Cary: I assume that there can be only one people silly enough to like this on this planet, and (s)he must have bought the whole first stock… Will (s)he have any money to buy more is a mystery.

Hehe… and yet, they brought them back because the originals sold out so fast.

Someone must like ‘em!

I believe the old saying “there’s no accounting for taste” applies here…

Certianly one of the strangest guitars Gibson has built. “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.” The thing looks like some medievel weapon.
