    With a couple of minor mods, it would be the perfect guitar to play at those "rough and rowdy" venues:

    Sharpen the points and edges - instant harpoon (or pike for "up close wet work").

    It's not hideous.

    Not my thing, but if I had it, I'd happily play it.

    But I'd need a giant crossbow so I could outdo Townsend & Hendrix.

    That was one of their Guitars of the Week. Apparently they are having some issues coming up with 52 ideas.

    That has to be the nastiest guitar a major guitar brand ever came up with. Let's talk about how to ruin a great design with a simple idea... turn it backwards.

    I just threw up in my mouth a little bit....
    That's just plain horrible.....I mean, I know that sometimes in a production type enviroment you want to reverse your thinking, but this is just sad. I'm going to go cry now.

    Looks like someone at the Gibson factory had a rough weekend. They're putting them together backwards!! :


    But speaking of subliminal messages, look at that bridge pickup in the picture. There's a man in there!!!
