If anything that's worse than the reverse V.

I shudder to think of what Gibson will come up with next.

WTF are they thinking?  :wtf:

Though I thought it wasn't possible, that IS uglier than the reverse V.

The "Poo Brown Camp" will be up in arms over this one!!

....and I agree, that headstock is fucking ridiculous.

Y'know, the real sad thing about this is that somewhere down the line a someone thought this was a good idea  :wtf:



There is not a single redeeming feature about this guitar. Unless you want real ugly, expensive fire wood.

The reverse V is worse. Some of the GOTW are pretty nice though.

That's part of the series honoring Steinbeck I guess. Must be Lennie week.

You know the bit in the song Black Sabbath where Ozzy shrieks out "Oh please God NOOOOOOOO!!!"?

I just spontaneously did the same thing.

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of Death's construction

In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour

Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings

All right now!

It looks like it's got Steinberger tuners on that stump of a headstock:

And not wanting to leave the Fender crowd empty-handed...
