MikeRom 15 Report post 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guitarbob123 0 Report post 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Allen 32 Report post 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brundaddy 56 Report post 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thundergod 205 Report post 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...) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGBENDS 6 Report post 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hbomb76 2 Report post 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AXE® 507 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 Holey guitars are a good way to rid the pile of surplus heavy @ssed mahogany. Used in the Standards also.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
