MikeRom Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Oh, now I see what you are talking about ...WOOF!. That's one of the ugliest guitar I've ever seen. Easily in the top 10 of ugly guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarbob123 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 the holy explorer looks awesome but i can see a holy sg, holy les paul, and a holy firebird on the horizon they're already doing les paul with holes in, they're called les paul standards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Allen Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I personally do not like the Xplorer with all the holes in it. I hope to never see an LP that way. The holes take away from the aesthetics of the guitar. Part of the allure (now that I've matured and don't think pointy guitars are awesome) of a nice guitar is the color, the grain, the fading. With a guitar with a bunch of holes in it, you get none of that. So, what's the point. It seems like a gimmick. Gibson doesn't need a gimmick. I heard something once about excellence. I'll paraphrase: good must advertise to let people know, but excellence doesn't. So, this gimmicky guitar seems like Gibson is trying to advertise that it is a "cool" guitar company. It doesn't need gimmicks to prove it's cool. Just keep selling excellent instruments that are beautiful and full of tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Not only does it look stupid, don't all the holes disrupt the perfect balance the Explorer is so well-known for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I have a les paul with holes in it... gibson's been making them since 2006... (those holes are covered by the maple cap tho... but you might just wanna buy one and take the cap away...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBENDS Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 They should have used saved the Holy V & Holy Explorer for the Epiphone line. Those kind of gimmicks don't fly with us veterans. One Volume knob? Where's the versatility in sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hbomb76 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Don't the ladies already have their holey Les Pauls (i.e. "chambered"/routed-out Standards and such)? That's bad enough. Let's not desecrate any other body styles with the termite-damage look, m'kay? H-Bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basshole Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 how dare you! Just a really bad joke, I think this holy guitar thing is just to make money like everyone else was saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Holey guitars are a good way to rid the pile of surplus heavy @ssed mahogany. Used in the Standards also.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G u e s t Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Oh - it could get SOOOO much worse, pray Gibson don't see this:- Title: Color changeable guitar body Document Type and Number: United States Patent 4815355 Abstract: A clear plastic hollow guitar body 20 with sides 25 which are vacuum formed together and having an attached back 24 and a colored liquid 32 which has the ability to be changed to a different color by draining from drain hole 33 and refilling through fill hole 34.
