check this crazy thing out.kinda like a Dean which were kinda like Gibsons......it looks like scissors.

Looks like someone has a bit of leftover SG and a bit of leftover V and jammed them together

Please tell me someone's up to some photo-shop-foolery!!!!

I'm not feeling those SG horns with the V. Given the paintjob, I'm guessing this has something to do with Zakk Wylde?

I think Dean had a better spin on the hybrid look- the explorer treatment up top seemed to work a lot better for that sort of affair

Maybe I'm just biased though. I've always liked the unadulterated explorer and v shapes best. Dean did a classy job with those too:

I'd rather buy a f****r than that! Please tell me that its a joke!

Uwe would be first in line for a bass version

godofthunder · October 25, 2008, 07:33:42 AM

There won't be a bass version.

Dave W · October 25, 2008, 07:52:07 AM

Here it is. And only $5399!

godofthunder · October 25, 2008, 07:57:10 AM

Such a deal !

Time to "downsize" a few designers

Once again they'll do stupid s*** like that for the guitarists..........Think they could do one decent re-issue of a bass, Ripper, RD, Explorer,Victory or NR 'Bird? Nah.......not Gibson.

If you'll pay $5,399 for a reissue of any of the above, I have a feeling Gibson's custom shop could accommodate you.

I'm not even sure they would do it for that amount of money unless you are some kind of star - which Mark obviously is so let him go first!!!

Truly horrible this SGV mutant, reminds me of what went wrong in David Cronenberg's The Fly.

But if they brought it out as a bass I would feel compelled to ...

i still say it looks like scissors.
