new Gibson model?

[Heket]

I have to say, I love it. When I first saw the natural finish one it was instant GAS The aesthetic really pleases me for some reason; alas I seem to be in a minority! Then I read the rest of the specs and I thought yeah, this is something I could really get along with.

Still, I think I'd have to fill out an SG collection first before going for one of these.

If Gibson wasn't so futuristic back in the end 50s...

we would not have the 'classic' models by now...

In America we used to have an expression, " this ain't your father's Oldsmobile any more."

Now, there is no more Oldsmobile. Wonder why and wonder what was so wrong with our Father's Oldsmobile? A 442 or Delta 88 were nice cars.

GAS-o-meter went up to 12....

Well after listening to this clip I must admit I am totally interested in this guitar after first being put off by Gibbys pickup mix n match. They really sound quite nice together & I heard no noise from that P90 as played. I love the Lyre Vibrato & have always felt they have been over looked as viable tremolos.

I will definitely be looking to play one if ever given opportunity. Lord help me if given a shot at lay away. I know the looks are different but I also bought the Gibson MIII back in 91 & that was its own beast too so, this isn't too much of a stretch and they might actually compliment each other in an abstract freakshow of bookends kind of way.
