Thundergod Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Yes I do, I just saw a purple LP goddess, a band came to record a demo and one of the players had one, it looked so cool (I know it's suposed to be a girl's guitar but it still looked badass in an 80s glam kind of way). The guitar's tone directly into both the supersonic and the princeton was awesome. What pickups are in it? They also look cool with the color matched wire I can't find any on ebay, but I'll get one that's for sure, preferrablyl in blue, if not, purple will do (I don't like red guitars). Flight, I think you had a goddess, if so, do you still have it? Can you post some porn and talk about her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Those are pretty cool looking. I'd get one if things fell into place for it but I won't go out of my way searching for one. I like the headstock inlays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiz Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Geez Louise. That is a sweet guitar. Are the pickups blue too? They kinda remind me of those 'smokey' pickups that had the clear plastic so you could see the wires wound around the poles. Maybe my eyes just playing tricks on me...

Nick Beach Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I searched high and low for a blue SG goddess for the longest time. Obviously the closest I got to finding one was finding one on google images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue wire dude!!! also blue "gibson" logo, all of them have matching wire and logo, which I think is a prety awesome feature for a guitar that was really cheap when they were still for sale. (I take it they aren't any longer made, am I right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulsaslim Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 One of the first indications I had that Gibson's marketing dept. consisted of idiots was the Goddess. Why, oh why did they market this as a 'girl's guitar' (and immediately alienate 90% of the guitar-buying public)? Had they just marketed it as a 'new guitar model' with a more neutral name I think the Goddess would've been real successful. Aiming it directly at girls no doubt doomed it to failure. I seriously thought about buying one but didn't want to have to participate in the obligatory ***-kicking that would've been a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something wrong with marketing a guitar for ladies? Seems to me 'you guys' have lots of other guitars to choose from ...... oh, and we play THOSE guitars too.

Nothing wrong with making guitars for the ladies - they should probably make more of them - but it seems like they would have been smarter just to put it on the market and let the ladies decide whether or not it was a ladies guitar - they clearly would have picked up more sales from guys as well.

jameslucascalvert Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 "Girl" guitar or not, I think those are sweet-looking Les Pauls. Besides, shouldn't a guitar have a girl's name, anyway? Great. Now I want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me 'you guys' have lots of other guitars to choose from ...... oh' date=' and we play THOSE guitars too.[/quote'] First of all, I don't think Gibson markets any particular guitar as a 'guy's guitar' so why market one as a 'girl's guitar'? Most guys don't want to listen to the wisecracks they're gonna get playing a 'girl's guitar'. Men buy 90% of guitars. Why even bring up the concept of a 'girl's guitar'? Girls and women are smart enoug to figure it out without Gibson's marketing team telling them so. And guys don't want the stigma. I didn't think I needed to explain.
