dubstar Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 looks like those little plastic shapes you baked in the oven when you were a kid...the lightning bolt pickguard is OK but the headstock is hideous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djroge1 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I like it. In fact I was thinking about ordering a lefty from Warmoth and having them route it for 6 lipstick pups and have a vol & tone for each; who knows perhaps even push/pull for phase too. I saw that the guy from cheap trick had a guitar sort of like that and I thought it was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I wonder if they had to beef up the headstock to give it some semblance of balance, or if they just wanted it to be as insanely ugly as the rest of the guitar. Reverse V, Reverse Explorer, I guess it'll be a reverse SG next, that for outdoor concerts you just "stick up" in the ground between sets.(lolol) Nevermind, thats what the Reverse V is for.

CodeMonk Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Yeah ^ Reverse this, reverse that. Someone at Gibson is self-medicating far to much me thinks. Reverse ES-335 next? (Watch, someone at Gibson is gonna see this post and make one). I have yet to see ANY reverse guitar that I like. I think, so far, they all look butt ugly. And that headstock? WTF! Make me want to puke. If Gibson GAVE me one, I would either sell it or stick it in the closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djroge1 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Who knows... Perhaps Fender will come out with a lefty strat set for for righties??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Oh, if they gave me one, or even offered me one at "the nice price" i'd have to have it as a conversation piece, and investment. Hear me there Gibson?? testing, one two,. (hope they heard me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 almost enough room on that headstock for a Bigsby unit....... THAT would be the ultimate reverse....headstock mounted vibrato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankS1281734010 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Who knows... Perhaps Fender will come out with a lefty strat set for for righties??? I saw one years ago actually, it was some kind of Hendrix model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ef_in_fla Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Ugliest headstock I've ever seen. With a nice pointy one it would be an OK looking guitar. They need to talk to the folks at ESP about reverse headstocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layboomo Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Just butt ugly IMHO.....how many 2 pickup mahogany $2000.00 guitars do we really need?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snookelputz Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Hey, now! No fair knockin' 'em when you know they won't respond. Besides, you must be looking at the future. After all, this is the model that cost us the Elitist line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
