Would be OK if the cutaways were done properly.

My kind of guitar.

And if the switch and the volume control weren't so stupidly positioned together. And if it didn't have the usual Gibson bodge of a tenon hider (which is acceptable on an SG, since it sort-of matches the pickguard). And if it wasn't clownburst.

Ugh.  Had they not seen a Yamaha SG2000 or similar to see how this could be done 'well'?

Certainly not the ugliest I’ve seen from Gibson. The colour is easily the worst thing about it. Hate the

I like the shape of it

I always had a soft spot for the late-90's one that was closer to the "proper" DC shape. Not a huge fan of 24 fretters, but it covers the tenon I guess. I assume they could've had the tenon run right under the pickup like a PRS but put the neck pickup in the right place with a regular 22-fret 'board, but it's never been like Gibson to make rational decisions.

I'm sure I've seen 22-fret versions of these, no?
