The thing is, people are going to look at the strat and realise it doesn't even look like an upside down strat. :idk: :picard:

They could have at least made a V or an SG and been a bit more correct.

I guess anything to make money off someone else’s history regardless how crappy it is, is OK.

Gibson should concern itself with bringing back quality at reasonable prices and drop the crap.

My son does have a Squire that is painted like this.

It’s a much better tribute guitar than that Gibson thing.

when I first got my strat, I had my GF paint a design on it that was based off that design. I loved it! :love:

But still, I can't believe Gibson has been so shitty lately. The 'Eye' Guitar, what the fuck was that? Keifer Sutherland? Come on, *I* deserve a custom guitar more than that guy.

What is sad to me is what Gibson thinks of their customers to offer this. I've read so much feedback on this product launch and NONE of it is positive. Does Gibson really think that their younger customers don't know what it is they are buying? Or do they think that mom's will read "Jimi Hendrix" and buy it for their kids?
