From Wikipedia: "Twenty20 is a form of cricket". So someone at Gibson must have thought it looked like a cricket bat.

With the Corvus being an option for Guitar Hero, and millions of kids & adults being reintroduced to it's can opener shape, I wonder if that's sparked a renewed interest in it?  :P :P

Twenty20 cricket is newer than the 20/20 bass.

Gibson obviously has great influence in the world of cricket.   ;D

I found an old post on a Harmony-central.com forum of a guy asking about his 20/20. This would be the third Ferrari Red one I've seen, making my count (3) red, (6) silver.

These guys had no love for the cricket paddle either.
