Now here's a Gibson I've never seen before!!

[Death by Uberschall]

First time I've seen one of these. Kinda quirky, yet cool at the same time.  :laughing7:

Gibson MIII

 

[-CB-]

And its.... where?

 

[JaySwear]

the pictures didn't pop up... but i really like the M111's! i've seen these before (never in person). reminds me of that VIP with an explorer headstock somebody had a while ago on here.

The M-III was one of my friends first guitars.  They were giving one away at a contest in a music store and he won it.  Pretty nice player actually.

I'm with CB. I looked up the pictures, then wished I didn't.

What's cool about it? You need about ten more years for guitars designed in the 90s to look like they were from the 80s to be considered retro cool.

I kind of like the body shape, it reminds me a little of a Rickenbacker.  I don't like anything else though.  :sad:

I remember seeing one of those in a pawn shop before.

 

[Super Turbo Deluxe Custom]

I have a cousin with one of those.

 

[Kostas]

I remember the ads in the 80's. Gibson was trying to win Kramer/Jackson players... :doh:

 

[CrackedPepper]

It's probably from the same design group that came up with the Dusk Tiger - quirky and arguably cool/ugly

 

[Superlizard]

They've been smokin' crack ever since the Norlin era started.

 

[mayfly]

I have a cousin with one of those.

I think everyone has a cousin who is a bit, er, funny

 

[Super Turbo Deluxe Custom]

Okay, I also have a friend with a Bass version of one of those.

FWIW, the cousin in question is a girl, also has an SG Standard, and attended Juliard and Berklee.
