designermike Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 An entire set of shots of the new Dark Fire has surfaced, so feel free to take a look for yourself. While there aren't any details yet, these high-resolution shots should give you some idea of what's coming. Since the shots were so large, I've set them up as thumbnails.

rd_artist Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 It obviously has the robot guitar tuning features and yes it has a BFG pickup arrangement I wonder what else is inside this baby? Why are they being so coy about this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossington88 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 It looks to me like Gibson is remodeling some hardware. First, they are using what appears to be Carbon Fibre PU covers, pickguard, fretboard inlays and maybe even binding. It looks like a Gibson Hybrid? type of pickup, never seen one like this before from Gibson? possibly a robot with maybe either the digital's Pickup OR a piezo. That's only from what I can tell...SO TELL ME GIBSON REPS....AM I FAR OFF???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I Like it. Now what cn it do? and how much will it cost me to do it? And just think in a month or so we can probably buy the SLASH Model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeRom Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Wow. That is a serious amount of wood that is removed for chambering. I'm kinda stunned. I guess I never realized it was so drastic. Reminds me a lot of what Gibson does to the innards of the CS336. That thing is darned near semi acoustic. Thanks for sharing the pics dm - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 that is what i never wanted to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondJig Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 thx for the pics, please post more, some of the electronics, jacks, external accessories, software, ect…. I love the clean stop tail & bridge design no edges nice and smooth. The wiring is a great change from the ribbons used on the ROBOs. Great job refining the ROBO.

Dynadude Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I wonder if the drastic chambering is meant to counter balance a lighter neck, as in composite. Perhaps carbon fiber? I wouldn't be surprised if it does feature a piezo in the bridge. That would also correspond with the chambering. I love the look., and can't wait to see one up close. Gibson rarely disappoints me.
