Way to market a Limited Run Series restricted to just 350 guitars to trailer trash that can’t afford your Stupid markups. "The Gibson Tribal V" Coming soon to the musiciansfriend.com clearance section soon! That happened to you Gibson?

clance Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Paint over the body and headstock and I'd love it. A V with a khaler and no pickguard? That would be way better than the massive piece of plastic screwed onto the standard model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be way better than the massive piece of plastic screwed onto the standard model. exactly what i was thinking, another thing, why cant Gibson just make v's like this all the time?(except solid colors, this tribal sh!te is ugly) i'd get one and paint it forest green...

iSoto Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Totally agree. Love the absence of a pickguard and the Kahler (duh, Kahler whore here), but the tribal graphics are way tacky. I'm all for color and uniqueness, but this is just plain @#$&^*!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMS0623 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 i dont like the tribal graphics on it, thats already bc rich's sh**y style... maybe flames would be cool... but other than that i like it... i think gibson has gone too long without pleasing the metal fans of gibson. i mean all they have are the zakk wyldes and the explorer... maybe a good model of all the others with emgs and a nice bridge... but weve been left in the dark for too long. put in second place to the blusey rockers that gibson formed their guitars around in the 50's. and noone thats used to gibson's quality would ever want to switch to ESP or IBANEZ or something... so i think this is a step in the right direction.

dem00n Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I have to admit even though i love B.C. rich guitar i never did like the tribal **** (i like kerry king to!). But why cant gibson do more stuff with exploers, V's and firebirds. They always do SG and Les Paul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morten M Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hmm, I happen to like the looks of that V. Guess I'm not so conservative or whatever. But the reason I won't touch that thing is the construction error. The locking nut is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. No. NO. Sorry. I'm a Kahler whore. I find them easier to play, easier to changes strings, plus you don't have to remove all that wood from the guitar in order to install one. Plus Kahlers are so much prettier... please bring back the SG Special 400 and the Flying V 83 (only with mahogany body, not alder) ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This is not an attack or anything, just asking out of curiosity since I had the Kahler Stringlock on my Squier Bullet Strat - before I torn it apart - and it worked perfectly well even without a graphite nut) Anyways, I was just saying that the guitar should work just fine with the locking Grovers and the graphite nut, and should have no tuning stability problems.

sgTime Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hmmm... Do you know what would be awesome? If they had a gold hardware (no emgs, REAL passive pickups), an ebony board with block inlays over a dark blue burst finish on a V... That would be pretty damn sweet...

brundaddy Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 No Axcess versions. No. No. NO. Sorry. I don't care what kind of wang bar (if any) they put on them, I'm really wishing Gibson would start building neck-thru/scalloped heel versions of the V, 137, 335, 135, SG, Explorer -- really, every model that's solid-body or at least has a solid centerblock.

iSoto Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yikes! Morten M, thanks for the great guitar porn. Both have the Kahler thingy.
