/gg/ - Gibson Guitars general

hahaha wow. $4200 PRS is more cheaply done than a $2500 gibson.

it looks like an inverted lolipop. the 24 fret ones are the worst, they shift the entire scale up on the body so the last fret is still accessible and the guitar gets two inches longer and more stupid looking.

I'm not much of a fan of PRS bookmatched tops either. If your going to spend several thousands of dollars ESP, Kiesel, Warwick/Framus, and other smaller boutique brands do a much better job.
That's a ridiculous amount of cope, the mental gymnastics here is off the charts.

gorgeous, but I don't think it really fits the aesthetics of the guitar.

>cope
no, it's right. literally every cheap LTD uses a paper thin slice of a perfectly bookmatched top and they all look exactly like the expensive ones from 5 feet away.

perfectly matched, highly figured flame maple is THE cheap metal guitar aesthetic. the aforementioned weak flame that fades in and out depending on the angle looks more expensive. cheap guitars can't do that because their maple is paper thin instead of half an inch thick.

Just look at the perfect quilt on this $700 guitar

>so much cope itt it hurts my head

I disagree, it gives another dimension of character, rather than slapping on some solid color hiding the beautiful grains and patterns of the wood.

Here's what a real 59 looks like. That's the kind of flame top I like, can't find that on a cheap guitar.

God this over the top flame shit is fucking ugly. No wonder all the kids are playing fenders if the alternative looks like a coffee table from the 70s.
