This just posted on the Gibson FB page:
So, big hush-hush meeting regarding MAJOR changes from Gibson in 2013! (Among the rumors: Paying tribute to '50s-era SGs by adding robot tuners. Thoughts?
About damn time, IMO. I use to be a Gibson fan boy, literally all I touched. However they have been SOOOOOO boring, same can go for Fender too tbh, but atleast Fender did the Pawn Shop series, I wasn't a fan but at least it was "NEW"
IMO both Gibson and Fender are competing with Squire now haha

I'm super hyped for the RD Standard Bass MKII; I hear it's gonna have correct pole spacing.

I'm willing to bet they'll release something, stupid, ugly, and with built in wifi.

That's a given. I hope there's some cool stuff alongside it.

That's actually so tacky, I would consider using it.

That might spark my interest. Right now I still either want a custom First Act Delgada, or a EGC RD, but if Gibson can get it right it may be a little easier to acquire.

I would definitely be interested in the RD bass if it wasn't overpriced. But it will be...

Yeah, and honestly if I'm paying those kind of prices, I'd rather spend it on an EGC or something like that.

I think Gibson have been doing some good things in recent years. I have a couple of 50s tribute les paul studios that are an incredible value. I don't like some of the new features, such as robotic tuners, but Gibson have provided a range of choices. and people will snap up the zoot suit firebirds just as they did the sg's. I'm not going to belittle Gibson just because they put out a few guitars that are not my cup of tea.

This peaks my interest, all though knowing their pricing structure i'd hold out for the epi version.....
