Maybe it's because I'm 24 hours without sleeping.. am I just seeing things?

What an ugly guitar... eh?

 

[Plank_Spanker]

With a couple of minor mods, it would be the perfect guitar to play at those "rough and rowdy" venues:

Sharpen the points and edges - instant harpoon (or pike for "up close wet work").

 

[R_of_G]

that thing is hideous. a reverse-v?

 

[tot_Ou_tard]

It's not hideous.

Not my thing, but if I had it, I'd happily play it.

But I'd need a giant crossbow so I could outdo Townsend & Hendrix.

A little lighter fluid &

zzZZZZIIIIIIIiiiiinnggg

*right* into the audience!

i wonder if when you play certain songs on that "reverse" guitar you hear secret messages....paul is dead, paul is dead... :rotflmao:

Only one knob................................it goes from "split some skulls" to "split your own atoms".

I've seen them before, not in person but pics. Really ugly.

That was one of their Guitars of the Week. Apparently they are having some issues coming up with 52 ideas.

 

[Iago]

That has to be the nastiest guitar a major guitar brand ever came up with. Let's talk about how to ruin a great design with a simple idea... turn it backwards.

 

[Fat Strings]

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.... uke:
That's just plain horrible.....I mean, I know that sometimes in a production type enviroment you want to reverse your thinking, but this is just sad. I'm going to go cry now.

Looks like someone at the Gibson factory had a rough weekend. They're putting them together backwards!! :thwap:


But speaking of subliminal messages, look at that bridge pickup in the picture. There's a man in there!!!

 

[Big K]

wow:thwap:

 

[Mark]

Musical lawn darts anyone????

 

[pie_man_25]

I've seen them before, not in person but pics. Really ugly.

never like the reverse V much either, but one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Next up ... the sideways Explorer.

Owie! :rotflmao:

Next up ... the sideways Explorer.

Owie! :rotflmao:

Oh like this one you mean? They're so hard to play...

 

[SuperSwede]

A flying anchor! Good god what a great idea from the good folks at Gibson :AOK:

 

[Adrian30]

:rotflmao: :bravo: :rotflmao:

 

[oldguy]

Dean Guitars should file a lawsuit since Gibson (almost) copied Dean's headstock design....oke:

No it's not the sleep on your part, it's theirs-they're desparate for fresh ideas in an everchanging market.:master:

Ah, good. I'm not the only one. I was beginning to think it was just me. :crazyguy:


Ya know, now that I think about it, I do believe I've seen Strats done this same way at some point. I guess now we know where all of the ex-Fender employees go.
