The Futura was designed to be a headless guitar. It was going to have Steinberger like tuners in the can opener cut out. Gibson marketing people got involved & decided that a headless guitar was a bad idea, so they put a headstock on this model and it's bolt on cousin, the Corvus. The result was a confusing guitar design. I kind of look at the 20/20 the same way. It was built around the same time.  ???

So, what does "20/20" mean anyway?
Why did Salvador Dali cross the road?
Clocks.

Gibson were 20 years ahead of their time.  The shape of the instrument is perfect ....

Ned had a hand in the Spector NSX bass as well.  Strange looking beast.

What brand, model guitar is this? It's pretty much exactly the same as the Gibson version was intended to look like.   :P :P :P
