Gibson Moderne Announced at NAMM

Ninetyfour · 01-20-2012, 12:07 PM

Not sure if this has already been posted, I searched but couldn't find anything but hey!

Edit: Shot from Premier Guitar

Mahogany body and neck, with rosewood fingerboard and classic '57 humbuckers apparently. I think it's pretty cool. Don't see it being comfortable at all though

That poor Flying V...

Valennic · 01-20-2012, 12:14 PM

Didn't they try this years ago and fail miserably? Like, with the exact same design?

ivancic1al · 01-20-2012, 12:18 PM

^ In 1958 yes

-42- · 01-20-2012, 12:19 PM

Tennessee whiskey must really be something else for them to even consider marketing that.

jordanky · 01-20-2012, 12:27 PM

No thanks whatsoever.

Swyse · 01-20-2012, 12:29 PM

This reminds me of the brilliant reverse flying v they had.

JaeSwift · 01-20-2012, 12:30 PM

Seriously, Gibson will never get on top of their game again.

Murmel · 01-20-2012, 12:33 PM

I'm the only one who ....ing loves it?

At least it's not a Les Paul in a different finish, which you all seem to complain about every single time.

Hemi-Powered Drone · 01-20-2012, 12:36 PM

I actually like this. It seems like it might be nice for classical position. The only thing that bugs me is that asymmetrical headstock, which I'm guessing is because Dean probably copyrighted the symmetrical V headstock.

danger5oh · 01-20-2012, 12:36 PM

Screw the Moderne... I want to know what that LP is to the right of it? No fret markers, body binding, and knob placement? Perhaps a heavy metal Standard?

DrakkarTyrannis · 01-20-2012, 12:38 PM

OH GOD!

vineroon · 01-20-2012, 12:39 PM

You know how they say that facial symmetry determines beauty? Yeah...

Alberto7 · 01-20-2012, 12:48 PM

That... is... uh...

drmosh · 01-20-2012, 12:56 PM

What the ....? What are they doing over there at Gibson?

First they support SOPA and now this? fu gibson

-42- · 01-20-2012, 12:58 PM

That LP on the right, on the other hand...

If I'm right, thats the Paul Landers signature...

Holy shit, they might release it this year!

EDIT: And for the haters, those pickups are EMG's.

Deadnightshade · 01-20-2012, 01:02 PM

Relax guys,it could be worse..Like a reversed -V Jonas Brothers self-tuning guitar with plastic headstock-neck joint!

Murmel · 01-20-2012, 01:03 PM

^
Honestly, I'd love a reverse V

vampiregenocide · 01-20-2012, 01:04 PM

It wouldn't be a proper NAMM without Gibson announcing something that looks like it was designed while on PCP.

You could very well be correct... it looks spot on and it even has what looks like a Les Paul sig screened on the headstock. That may just be my new inspiration for serious GAS... .....

BucketheadRules · 01-20-2012, 01:08 PM

Honestly, does no-one know about this guitar? I'm surprised!

Was designed in 1958 along with the V and Explorer but never made it to production, then they made a couple of hundred in the early 80s and now it's back. This shape has been effectively on ice for 54 years. Of course some people would rather it stayed there, but I think it's cool that they're selling it again.

It isn't something they've only just designed! It's not a new model at all - it's a reissue, and a ....ing cool one IMO.

FWIW I like it - I've always had a soft spot for that shape, weird as it may be.
