Versatile Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Guitars like this are often tone monsters.... IMO it won't sell much due to being 'a bit different'.... It is hard to prize folks away from the LP, Strat, Tele ubiquity.... V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-RAM Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 It may sound good but is it 80's butt ugly. I also find it hard on the eyes - comes across as an amalgamation of about four different guitars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 So ugly it will probably be rare and collectable in 50 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I think they are beautiful. It's a deal I wouldn't pass up if I knew my wife wouldn't kill me. 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody78 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I was going to say Searcy has been posting some cool rare Gibson models in his Gibson of the day thread (a lot of which I think look great), but sadly the N-225 here just looks all wrong to me. That said, it probably plays and sounds really good and would be worth testing out. I'm sure I saw some natural versions of these which looked much more appealing. The black one reminds me of that pinstripe Les Paul they did a while back. EDIT: Ah, here's one in natural which I would consider buying for $799 if I was in the market for one.

RevDavidLee Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 It may sound good but is it 80's butt ugly. Yes I agree. The pinstripes may be why this particular model is on sale & what makes it unattractive to me. But still - $800 isn't chump change either. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Actually it was the pinstripes that made me look. I'd love to have someone rockabillify the sh** out of my upright bass with similar striping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 There is no accounting for taste. I can prove it too. Because to me it looks better than any Les Paul (except a DC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson Artist Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 It may sound good but is it 80's butt ugly. Hey fz, the Natural one is actually pretty sweet looking. Btw, i tried a 1970 d28, holy @#$% that thing was a cannon! i made an offer to the guy but so far hes keeping it, but told me if he ever wanted to sell i was first in line.

StRanger7032 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Is the tremolo system just an L-shaped metal tailpiece that bends? Looks unstable, but maybe I'm wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought an N-225 online and I don’t like it. It is really ugly. It is faded cherry. I promptly put it on consignment in a local music store it is still there. I bought it new with hard shell case. If anyone wants one point them my way jayguitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
