Meh, get a Hamer.

 

[Dogsinplastic]

It's like a Travis Bean (aesthetically, not full specs), but without any appeal.

 

[jelloman]

WTF is that thing supposed to be?

 

[Mark Wein]

It looks like the double cutaway version of my The Paul:

The Bean? Just a guitar with and aluminum neck. They were one of the first and supposedly finest alternative material electrics. Jerry Garcia played them for a bit, as did Stanley Jordan. Great guitars by most accounts, but the literal coldness of the necks was apparently off putting. He worked with Gary Kramer, who also put aluminum necks on the first Kramers, but with wood inserts to make the neck more welcoming. The Bean's are still well regarded, while Kramers are just Kramers.

Yet again, without the appeal.

I've always liked the 335S.

One of these 1980's just sold on New York Craigslist for $900

How is this different from a Les Paul Special apart from slightly different cutaways?

Clearly it's much uglier.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

They're OK I guess. I saw one a few months ago. I just never really got into them. They probably called them a ES-335S, due to the Mickey Mouse ear shaped cutaway horns (ala the regualr ES-335).

 

[Dogsinplastic]

Here's the new version...makes the original seem more appealing.

[Deep Eddy]

It's still not as ugly as the ES-335S Firebrand. Apparently, Gibson found the ES-335S had some appeal, so they went the next step to try and remove all appeal from the guitar.

Blarg.

Some of it is that I can't stand double cutaway solid bodies like this other than an SG.

 

[Coralkong]

Total pass.

The LP double cut is the only double cut solid that a Gibson made that I ever liked. Can't even get into the lovely Eye guitar.
