Besides the assumption they'll be ridiculously expensive, I really dig the style.

That reminds me of Clapton's old psychedelic SG. That thing was gnarly :rock:

EDIT: found a pic of it:

It looks cool, but like every other guitar built by gibson in the past 25 years, it's not worth the money you pay for it.

Probably not but the idea of compressing different layers of wood together is cool. Lord know it's a lot better than some of the abomination Gibson has been putting out recently :facepalm: .

yes, this is very cool. 2000 dollar price tag is not, however. :picard:

and did you see what they wrote on the website about the headstock decal?

"Headstock Logo
The classic Gibson logo is silk-screened onto the face of the headstock veneer. It is the most recognizable in all of music, representing more than a century of originality and excellence. There is simply no equal. "

I'm sorry, maybe that's true, but what a snooty pretentious thing to say

It is a very pretty ply wood guitar.
Hmm didn’t Gibson and many others state that plywood sounded like crap and only solid wood had real tone?

It's stuff like this that makes me glad that I got the cheapest LP Studio. The SGs are nice, but that thing looks like overpriced garbage.
Do you like listening to homemade music? Me too. Why don't you try one of mine?
