Well, the concept has been around for 27 years.

Check out after minute 1:50 in this Judas Priest video. The security guard is playing a cardboard prototype. I'm glad to see it finally made it to production. Wicked.

Why would they make a giant "Less Than" sign?

Turning a V upside down.

But then again there is Fender: Let's Take a Jazz body, put a Precision neck and pickup on it. Oh yeah, let's leave off the tone knob.

(Yeah yeah, I know. Mark Hoppus did that)

Well thats what they said about the gibson moderne, and now its one of the most sought after guitars ever. But I just cant like that thing....at all. I feel the same way about gibsons guitar of the week program. Put a different pickguard on this guitar and sell it as something completely new. They are running out of ideas.

The 5 string fretless sounds cool.

But Shavo.. an even BIGGER headstock?!

Gibson needs to bring back the RD...preferrably with many different color options.

...and they waste their time with nonsense like this? C'mon now
