Gibson Dusk Tiger
Besides me thinking Gibson needs to take a step back from their Apple Computers when coming up with names for these things, this guitar has me quite at odds. Gibson have again tried to go "modern", both with the aesthetic and functionality of this model.

I'm going to go against a lot of peoples opinions on this and say... deep breath here... I LIKE IT.

Sure, all the custom programmable EQ would be wasted on me, as would the rotary know for settings defaults, but I admit they are handy features. Like all new Gibson USA models, it is a Robot, with automatic tuning which as I have said before, I love that ability.

But as outlandish the finish is, I can't bring myself to not like it. The wood is exquisite, and I am really drawn to the mirrored pick guard. This guitar is everything I have criticised Gibson about in the blog, but this one really appeals to me, despite the once again outlandish price.

What about everyone else? On the Gibson site they are getting panned for it.
