Gibson Christmas tackiness

<< < (2/3) > >>

sniper:
a sting nativity? :o

EvilLordJuju:
It might be ok at Christmas, but you'd feel an idiot playing one of those any other time of the year.

When did Gibson stop making things to play, in favour of things to collect? 

eb2:
Honestly, about ten years ago.  Maybe more if you count idiot crap like "Premium Plus Tops" on Les Paul Standards.  They all do it to some extent, but the Guitar of the Month sh!t was really jumping the shark.  Any stupid bungo wood veneer is special now.

Agreed, but at least most of those weren't overdecorated to the point where you'd consider them strictly collectibles. These banjos are beyond that; they exist only because of the decorations. They're like Christmas plates.

Bass VI:
What! they're only going to make 12 of them!?! Actually, Thank God they're only going to make 12 of them!
 
Is it just me or are the Big Two in guitars starting to look and act like the Big Three in auto-making?

Big G & F: "Who cares if it's wacked crap, they'll buy it has our name on it!"

Just a random thought.
