IanHenry Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I've never seen a Gibson like this one before. I'm not a big fan of having a single volume and tone control. https://www.andertons.co.uk/p/MDCSPSL11128/solid-body-electric-guitars/gibson-custom-shop-double-cut-standard-heritage-cherry-burst Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to have a double cut, it'd be an SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 That's their new "Modern Doublecut." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micrmay2113 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I was thinking the traditional Gibson headstock looks a bit strange on it. If they ever did this as a standard non-Custom shop, I could see it with a Firebird headstock like the one they have on their special models. Might match the aesthetic of the body better.

IanHenry Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 I thought it was a joke when I saw the price. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 We teed off on that a couple months ago. I thought it looked pretty sweet in Goldtop mode myself, but I seemed to be in the minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 It's not that bad looking, but is not the Gibson norm. It has bound body and neck which I always like to see on Gibsons - or any guitars for that matter. Love the finish! I wonder what it would sound like... Being that it is currently more than $5000 (USD), this is a lot of money for this guitar. For that kind of money, I would buy something else no doubt. So the ugliest thing about this guitar right now is the price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krock Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Just like PRS recently did a close copy of the strat (eg), Gibson is doing a close copy of a PRS it would seem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight959 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 £3899...😂😂😂😂😂 That's about $4990.... UTTER JOKE... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Yeah I think they made a mistake making it a custom.. Should have been a USA guitar and no more than £1500... I reckon anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krock Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Yeah I think they made a mistake making it a custom.. Should have been a USA guitar and no more than £1500... I reckon anyway. Agreed that it shouldnt have been a custom although its never going to be their biggest seller so it would make it makes sense having it as an exclusive (price wise) product. While I personally feel this guitar should have been made cheaper, I feel their bass line needs to be given more features (a price increase would have been fine then). Their EB bass is just over £600 and could have done with better fretwork and finishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
american cheez Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 i like it in the pics ok, but it looks much better when i see it hanging on someone. maybe it's reference of scale or something i don't know. i don't like the price any better than anyone else. i agree with the above also that my eye finds amusement in seeing the gibson headstock on that shape. the black one and the gold are pretty cool looking.

'Scales Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 A Les Paul for the Nineties! ....in 2017 (Don't mind it actually - at $1500 it'd probably sell reasonably well against Studios, V's, F'birds and the like) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look as bad in black or gold top but still nothing I'd ever be caught playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHenry Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 I'm not sure what constitutes a "Custom Shop" and Custom Shop prices anymore. It's fitted with run of the mill pickups and the guitar looks very ordinary to me and that's being generous Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
