It's worth noting the John Bollinger is a MONSTER guitar player...

 

[newbuilder]

I like that!

Headstock is total mismatch with guitar. A PRS headstock would work much better cop0

 

[gtrjunior]

Personally, I like this guitar. A LOT.

 

[Tiltsta]

I like it. I'm still pretty sure I would just get a regular les Paul instead.

That guitar company that shall not be named made an ugly would be PRS-esque thing. This seems like Gibson's attempt at if you can't beat them, join them.

I think it's ugly as sin and just cheap looking...like a low-end poor knock-off (as alluded to above).

 

[sleewell]

looks sweet!!! do they come in other colors besides gold?

 

[Guitar Heel]

Gibson needs to work on adding more words to their guitar names.

Unless said Gibson gets blown out at 599

Agree that the Gibson headstock is a bit jarring.

Frankly, if I want a PRS I would buy one. I fail to see the advantage of a Gibson PRS clone.

And an ugly one at that. The PRS single cut is a sweet looking guitar, as is the Les Paul. This however, is just ugly...like a Gumby-fied PRS.

Bollinger is great for giving a feel of what the guitar, amp, or effect that he's demoing can sound like, but he'd make a Sears guitar through a Gorilla amp sound great.

I'd rather have a double cut Melody Maker ala Pat Travers.

 

[Brian Krashpad]

I prefer the trad Gibby DC that PRS originally copied (before modifying it to the design that this new Gibby copied).

....Even with the birds

I like the PRS more just because four knobs are nice to have. But the Gibson is only $9 more for a nitro finish and Gibson USA pickups. Which I would rather have than more knobs. But the open book headstock looks silly on this. Henry J. is probably already planning an Epi version with the fugly headstock.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

I could buy this Collings City Limits for the same price.

There is no reason for me to buy a Gibson, ever.

 

[GDSmithTX]

Personally, I like it ... particularly in the gold top trim.

It looks like a Wolfgang mated with a PRS 594 and changed it's name to Gibson.
I don't dislike it but they should have released it before PRS dropped the 594. Comparisons will be made.
I don't like single vol\tone. But that's just me.
