Im normally not a fan of silverburst, but its definitely growing on me.

I did a feature on these too. Personally, I thought the self tuners were a good idea.

Fad maybe, but no more of a fad than our lead player’s Fender Strat with the Roland modelling system.

Anyway, I liked the idea of the system as a whole, not just the new tuners but the nice pickups, and the high end Neutrik jack. And then there was the chambering redesign….

A good pick for an up and coming guitar, with or with out the “fad” tuners.

Thanks for a great blog!

I love the original Silverburst LP Customers from the late 80s. That color looks great when it ages.

I’m a big fan of purple too (actually I own a Musicman Silhouette of this color), and the green is nice too.

I’m not a big fan of the silberburst though, I think it’s a sad color on a guitar (I don’t know if this means something in english …).

Keep up the good work Cary.
I love this blog and miss your posts.

By the way I see that we can’t follow the comments by email. Could you do something for that ? There is a nice plugin (subscribe to comments) that does the trick very effectively.

Bye

not remotely interested in a robot guitar, its a fad. but at least they are offering more colours now. that original blue was rancid!

I must be the only person in the world who likes purple finishes, and a lot of these colors look great! I just wish they were featured on regular Gibson guitars and not Robots. No need for me to pony up at least another grand for a feature I don’t really need.
