I was watching the new Jim Jarmusch movie about vampires where they go to a White Hills show and what is the singer/guitarist playing?!?!?

The zoot suit sg looks pretty cool to me. Wonder why they decided to make them out of plywood, and still charge normal SG prices... I'd buy one for like 300 bucks.

They do it because people will pay for it. Gibson makes guitars for people who really care about the name on the headstock.

Your recording engineer will thank you. I know I would.

Depends on the sound I'm going for. I can always cut out ringing bass drum overtones but I can't add them where they never were

Orianthi is the best guitar player

No-one has responded to this statement out of nowhere, and with good reason. Orianthi has awful tone and plays the cheesiest, most predictable and derivative white blues licks imaginable. She's a shill for whoever will give her an endorsement, and obviously the fact that you're a cute young girl is enough to leapfrog over much better players into high profile gigs.

These are all awesome. I don't think you can intentionally make a synthesizer ugly. It's all plastic and metal to start with so you're not really destroying anything. Although, that satanic synth is hilarious and dumb as hell.

Some of the color schemes would fit right in with gear found at a Flaming Lips show.

TONE GLUE.

Edit: I think they look pretty cool in a 60's Teisco kind of way, but that price is insane. If I remember right even the neck is birch ply.

Edit 2: Yup

Gibson posted:

The neck of the Zoot Suit is also constructed using multiple birch wood laminate pieces (each one approximately .075” thick), each dyed with a different color then compressed and bonded together to form one solid block of wood. By reorienting the dyed laminates opposite from the body, you can view the pin-stripe color pattern through relief designs that have been machined out of the head veneers, which also allows maximum strength to the overall structure of the neck.

And just for laughs,

Gibson posted:

Other Materials
The glue is a proprietary Type 1 glue that forms an everlasting bond, and enhances the tonal characteristics of the body.

Reminds me of a hostess trolley.

I currently have my frying pan guitar clamped up, the glue should have set in a few days so hopefully you'll all have something to laugh at pretty soon.
