It really isn't that hideous, but it is a warped out SG.  Make a nice bass maybe.

Seems like the guitar body is sending one message and the PG a different one.  There's a clash of looks there...but there's potential.

I like it. Great colour. Looks smooth and fun to play. Dual Hummers will sound good if they have done the right thing with the wood.
Pickguards can be removed or modified cheaply and easily.

Full credit to Gibson for lightening up a bit. I dont think its supposed to be a traditional SG trade off, I see it as keeping a Gibson identity whilst having some fun.

I like it, pickguard and all. The price tag not so much.

The pickguard should be black.

I like it as a fun toy experiment, why not?
