Oh Gibson...

[Gearmond]

i checked out the rest of their basses page and HOLY CRAP WHY DON'T WE GET THE HALIBUT OR THE BOTTOM BUMP

AND they still sell the Italia bass with the ridiculous pickup

in case you wonder if ESP makes a guitar version

i think they put a slight twist on the RD body, which looks a bit slimmer to me, sexier as well.
got to love that ebony fretboard. not a fan of the whammy tho.

oh yea, u guys remember Gibson did a limited run of the RD?
the silverburst turned me right off

[Gearmond]

whoever thought silverburst was a good idea should be covered in silverburst for the rest of his life.

not as bad as the firebird X
but still

[Gearmond]

why the hell does first act have a buttload of custom guitars?

ESP Japan doesn't even have that many.

so that everyone who is in a band plays a custom First Act guitar!

but I can't deny Takeshi's doubleneck is the SEX


sorry for being off topic.

Of course, you know that this time next year Gibson will introduce the Firebird X Zoot Suit



Followed a few months later by the Reverse Firebird X Zoot Suit



Followed a few months later by filing for Chapter 11, sparing the world the Chad Kroeger sig model (which would only have one knob labelled SUCK)


Gibson suggestion box employee the day this was released...

[Fuzzy Picklez]

Wow.
Just wow.
devnulljp, that is so so wrong.

[Gearmond]

thats just cruel D:

not even Gibson is that stupid...



*waits to be proven wrong*

WOW... i dig the silverburst RD...and i don't normally like silverburst what so ever....the RD looks awesome though.
nice one.

[magiclawnchair]

thanks elwood! yeah that guitar is sweet. its almost weighs as much as the les paul custom!

that guitar of the week program was great! i also nabbed these...

and of course this...

but that was back when they still gave you hard cases...

[masked elwood]

all very fine picks.....i LOVE LOVE LOVE zebrawood. and you have the firebird and the LP...awesome if i do say so mesef.
i must admit...i own a reverse V in white.
it's my 6 year old's fave guitar and perfect for laying on the floor while playing. actually sounds great and looks stoopit. i love it. i tried to play a show with it but chickened out...in fact i couldn't even make it through rehearsal with it. sucks to strap on but..oh well.....

[magiclawnchair]

yeah, the reverse v is pretty uncomfortable but hey, its a reverse v!!!

a friend of mine got one of those reverse explorer guitar of the months and it came with out an upper strap peg... the hole was drilled but it just never got screwed in there...
