I still cannot believe no one else has tried out the G-3.
The whole Ripper/Grabber/G-3 family is chained in the crypt and hidden from sight. No one ever really thought them attractive, certainly not in the seventies. It was a conscious move to play them just the same.
Over the decades, they have grown on me. I now think their behemoth flat body friggin' cool and different from anything else. Elegant in a way a JB, Ric or a TB is elegant they're not though. But they were made for a working man's appeal.
