And this is how it should be...and we should recognise the trail blazers here - Bad News and Spinal Tap.NippleWrestler wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 1:47 pm It's a bit involved by now but if you head to guitarcirclejerk on reddit you'll see. It's a bit of a thing to intentionally (and creatively) misspell famous brands and musicians that are overdone and seen as overrated. Basically taking the piss out of the established paradigm of the guitar industry. It's a good tone, like a mirror of truth that there's a lot of really dumb shit permeating this entire hobby.
My personal favourite is Joe Bonermaster for that guy who wears a suit and collects vintage Gibsons.

Hear hear. Don't listen to those young kids like JB...I'd suggest Gibson was waayyyyy ahead of their time by introducing the headless electric guitar before Steinberger.

Re: Return of the Gibbons shocker thread!
Yeah but you had to do the headless mod yourself. Or get a drunk punter at the pub to do it for you.

saw it yesterday
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Re: Return of the Gibbons shocker thread!
Nice burst. Nice neck profile. Reason to think it'll hold it's value ok. Probably as good buying as you'll get from the big three.GrantB wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 8:50 pmActually, that is a surprise.
