From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Dark Fire, Dusk Tiger. Are they getting these names from Chinese movies?

Sounds too gimmicky for me. Looks gimmicky too. Maybe there's a market for high tech guitars, all I know is that I'm not in it.

I just want them to sand out all the lemur scratches on their madagascar rosewood boards.  :P

"The most astounding innovation in the history of the guitar".  That's a pretty good sized claim don't ya think? :o

Doesn't Gibson make that claim with every new model?

Switchable LP-Z High Definition Impedance circuit (low impedance capabilities)

Wonder if they're revisiting the Lo-Z pickups from the late sixties early seventies Recording, Professional Les Pauls?
In that case I am all ears!!

These will sit in stores for 15 years.......................... then someone "famous" will use one for their cool retro vibe. In 20 years you could retire owning one.

"Enter the Dusk Tiger, simply the most astounding innovation in the history of the guitar."

Enter the Gibson website, offering simply the most egregious hyperbole in the history of musical instruments.

maybe im being stupid here but does the blurb mean you can switch the output of the preamp lo z or hi z?
Louder bass!.
