Gibson are the Burberry of guitar makers.

They could have just had an image of an American flag and said "never forget" but they felt it was an appropriate time to sell a gold top guitar with an eagle??***

Edit ***eagle is not for sale***

To be fair, the eagle looks ready to rip out any robot tuners or zero fret nuts.

I wouldn't say shocked. It's September the 11th and some people have felt that Gibson are using this day for publicity.
 Which in some people's eyes is distasteful. It was more the overt patriotism of it for me.

If the bald eagle shits on that guitar, it becomes "true historic" and "reliced" and the double the price!
