This is the type of guitar that gets you kicked out of the band for actually buying one & decide to go public with it during a gig...

Typical Gibson. It's missing the chains.

 

[mistersnappy]

Arrgh. I can't unsee this now.

The new Zoot Suit Les Paul... taking "clownburst" to the next level.

 

[Texas Blues]

So they take a BFG and give it the Liberace treatment. Really Gibson? That's the best you can come up with? Henry should really consider dumping his R&D and marketing teams. Its obvious from that guitar that they are smoking way too much weed over there. Hey guys, why do you think they call it dope?

Looks like Rocky's illegitimate second-cousin:

I don´t care for the "experiments" in Gibson lab, as long as they continue the historic line...

"for sure!"

It doesn't appeal to me visually for several reasons, but, besides that, why call it "Zoot Suit"? There might be a way to do something that more closely resembles that actual late 1940's Zoot Suit era aesthetic that might actually work (although, probably never as right as an ES-300 or something from that time ). But, I'm probably overthinking it...

You are right. That paint job has NOTHING to do with a Zoot Suit. The Zoot Suit has more in common with Art Deco. Not some hand painted, hippy dippy looking Russian egg garbage. Ugh.

Maybe they should have named it the Willy Wonka
