Oh Gibson...

[Fuzzy Picklez]

I saw this another forum.
Who do they think they are fooling saying they are targeting working musicians?
No working musician (who plans on getting more work) would show up to a gig with one of these.
I'm not really sure what they think they're doing here.
I'm legitimately pretty confused!

So....can we legitimately ask is Henry Juszkiewicz secretly working for Fender?

I lol'd IRL.

I think it's cool to evolve with time, age, fashion, etc... but I think Gibson misses the point with all the new designs.....

They have gone stranger in the past.

One day I’ll build a bass version of this but with a Thunderbird head stock.
I think it would look very coll.

That would be the shit.

There was a builder in the 90's that did a headless bass version that had normal tuners mounted in the body, name escapes me....

But this kind of strange looks way better in my opinion!

I agree, I like Modernes, I got to play a Ibanez lawsuit on once man what a guitar! Also the Moderne shape was draw by Ted McCarty You can't get much more mojo than that

[Gearmond]

yeah, and they DID have that one, whose name escapes me, that was basically a firebird as drawn by someone sloshed out of their mind.

[Mudfuzz]

What era you talkin' aboot? You mean a RD Artist, those are cool, they weigh a ton and had moogness inside of them.

[Gearmond]

i think they're oogleh.

also not much of a fan of active electronics on guitars

[Mudfuzz]

On the guitars... yeah... actually I tend to forget there even was a guitar version... But the Bass version I like active on bass, I like moog, I like kooky shapes so RD bass = win

[Gearmond]

dunno what it is about bass, but we get away with the kookiest shapes... BC Rich excluded >_>

and yeah. active electronics and bass are wonderful, particularly Lakland and G&L's circuits. there is NOTHING you can't do on those.

The RD Artist is my white whale of basses. I will perpetually want one.

ESP makes a white one.... but I don't think it has the same type of electronics..
