Gibson Strat...?

[JaySwear]

i thought maybe this was a joke, but it looks to be fairly legitimate.

i think it's kind of laughable, mostly because you know if Fender came out with an SG or LP body style Gibson would sue like their was no tomorrow.

Since when does MusicRadar allow it's writers to blog stuff when they are high on crack or meth? Insane idea...  :dontknow:  :doh:

That's the most ridiculous thing I've seen in months. Good grief.

Epiphone has already made Tele copies (I call them Tele-Phones), which falls under the Gibson umbrella.  But there's no Fender headstock shape, which is the only thing legally protected.  Right?

For the life of me though, Fender and Gibson have coexisted for long time without blatantly selling each other's designs.  Why start now?

Come on guys, that is wayyy too much fail for THIS early (6am) in the morning.

ridiculous :tard:

 

[MUYFUE]

Terrible.

This is a new low.  I thought it had to be a hoax, but when I went to gibson.com, the first thing to pop up was a story about Hendrix, so it looks like they're gearing up the site to introduce this thing.  Any day now I'll get an email about it's release.

I've seen them release a bunch of gimmicky ugly crap in the past few years, but this is just disgusting.

A "set neck" Strat, it can't be!!!! Leo & Jimi are spinning circles in their graves!!!!!  :doh:

 

[Mor Paul]

Seriously? Sounds like the Hendrix estate and Gibson are getting desparate. If I think Jimi, I don't think Gibson. Nobody does. Fender already has a Hendrix model, I think...

Besides, it's ugleh.

Gibson, or at least one of you guys, should make some..
hmm..
SG/Explorer hybrid, maybe.

my thoughts exactly

I want to make some mockery of that box. Maybe selling a Tele Deluxe in a box with a les paul inside.

WAIT. I think I know what do post...

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply.  I read the title and was instantly stricken with hysterical blindness. I went to the toilet and vomited violently for several hours until I regained my sight.

You guys are already well aware of my feelings on absolutely anything Gibson has ever produced, and my feelings on the Fender Stratocaster...
I am going to refrain from commenting further, as it will send me into an insane rage.

Actually, there are even worse "Authentic Hendrix" ripoffs:

BTW, Janie's the worse of the lot:

EDIT:

just for the record, i had more fun with my old brick of a gameboy than i would ever have with a PSP. i've tried PSP's and they're really an awful design. i miss my old gameboy though...
