My Fender only had some decorative inlays on the 11th-13th frets. It did have position markers on the side of the neck, which I assume these Gibsons also have. I didn't have a problem with it. It took a little adjusting to get used to the sharkie inlays on my Jackson, but after a couple of days, I was good to go.

looks like a 2 year old ate all the paint and threw up on his dad's SG.

Gibson's done worse, maybe/maybe not...
Behold!

and SG with a maple neck and no pickup covers? eww.

but on the other hand, that funky explorer is awesome.

I like the maple fretboard SGs, although in a perfect world I'd wish for a matching color (to the body) headstock. Of course then Gibby fans would really go screaming into the night. Also I don't believe that pickup covers should exist. At least now there are pickups wound specifically to counteract the tonal effects of covers.

Now that guitar reminds me of home.

Either that or a flyswatter.

Why not? It looks like a perfectly reasonable mode of transportation.

FWIW - I love the title of this thread.

Oh shite! I like the maple neck SG - 'specially the white and gold ones look great. But that's only me.....I hated the maple neck LP though!

I don't think Gibson is desperate. Selling so many classic models you can easily effort "experiments" like the poop and hole ones. Who knows, maybe there's a classic among them. Who really believed in the success of the Flying V when it entered the market, or the SG? Les Paul hated the SG and wanted his name to be removed from it when it was called Les Paul Special.

When you have the visibility of Gibson, the failures or let's say "not so successful" models are going to be out there and discussed on a lot of forums. If it was Washburn, it wouldn't be discussed much beyond the Washburn forum.

While I can certainly appreciate the laminate process (gunstock manufacturers have being doing this for awhile), I wonder about the bright colors. Mind you, I think it's pretty at first glance, actually reminds me of "the fool" SG, the one Vood mentioned. And therein lies the problem.
I fear it would only be a matter of time until these catch on at every small town country music opry, and would be played by the obligatory fool dressed in clown attire, you know the one, couple teeth blacked out, poor grammar, oversized shoes.
Might be fitting, tho, since Gibson stole Robert's pic.........

most everone hated the explorer when it first came out, so it was originally discontinued and eventually replaced with the firebird, then reissued soon after. But now theyre both considered classic by the majority of gibson fans. I love explorers myself, especially the all-white ones like what joel o'keffe from airbourne has.

the 'zoot suited' SG looks like puke now, but in 50 years it might be the bee'z kneez...right?
