I wonder what kind of tone you'll get. Will it be different enough to warrant one of these over an LP? I do wonder what are these going to do that an existing model LP or SG isn't already going to give you?
Then the price. $4,000 = £4,000. Ooops. Gibson just lost millions of customers who think even $1,000 is too much for a guitar. Little Jimmy won't be getting one of these for Christmas. Methinks they're for the Lawyers and Dentists who already have a stable of PRS wall hangers.
Is it worth asking for some real innovation? Like a volute at the neck/head joint to resolve Gibson's longstanding design flaw? Or a Gibson with a vibrato that's not Bigsby? Or a pickup combination that's not the same-old same-old twin humbucker layout?
It's not as if the world is short of twin 'bucker mahogany-bodied guitars (new or used). Sigh.
Shame the prices are mental
It's like they don't want to be in business any more.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
Thanks for the updates and postings
Good good Its just I know some people have issues with photobucket... so I wasn't sure...
And yeah.. These guitars are weird cos they are being made by the custom shop, thus the price... What they should have done is released them through the USA division... Then this guitar would be at like Firebird or DC Standard sort of level which would put them more in the £1400/£1800 range.. And for such a new design (for them) that would have made way more sense.. Theres nothing in any way about those guitars that justifies putting them in that stupid price range. (which actually could be said for a lot of their guitars).

Compared to a PRS the price isn't that bad really, a McCarty goes for $3600 in the US and when you're spending that much 10% isn't a huge difference.
The real issue is that it isn't as good as a McCarty.
Im surprised the never went with the Less Paul I like that design.. Now this id say is more worth it... Hand carved by an expert
