The Reverse Explorer's headstock is hideous.

I'm sure it will be a hit though.

Crappy site. Why can't they show a whole picture of the guitars????

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

they're really overreaching with a few of these. The Holy V...ugh!

I saw the reverse Explorer at the Messe. Doesn't look bad at all though the pancake headstock - though I believe they took that from old Gibson/Ted McCarthy designs for the Modernistic Guitar line - is ... unmentionably ügly ... There is nothing new about this though, Glenn Tipton has been playing reverse Explorers from Hamer for decades, he even claims to have come up with the idea.

I als saw the Holy V - that thing has carveouts that go all the way through the body so it is very light. No doubt the sound will also be affected some by the lesser amount of wood.

Plus there were the Slash signatures and the Johnny Winter Firebird V in relic look - I must say Fender seems to be more adept at this, I wasn't really convinced.

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...
