I'm still rubbing my eyes that in 2011 they are bringing out a bass with the bar bridge which was already less than state of the art 58 years ago!
All you vintage accuracy buffs here should be ecstatic. To me it is as if Volvo brought out a new V 70 lauding its "vintage rigid axle". I think independent wheel suspension is the superior concept ...
(walks off under boohs and shrieks of disgust of the stunned audience ...).
But I'm not complaining. As reactions in this forum show, Gibson have obviously found a niche with this model and that is a good thing.
