Hands up who's ready for the Snoop Dogg Gold-plated Doubleneck?

Re: Just when you thought...

I would actually buy a guitar if it was Snoop's. I'm definitely a blues guy, but I do like a lot of Snoop's rap...I hate that the Jonas bros have a "JB logo"....

I don't charge for mistakes. - Joe Bonamassa

Re: Just when you thought...

This was discussed on the les paul forums. Many said that they'd buy it if it were not for the jonas brothers link.
It's an ok looking guitar, shame about the artist it's associated with.

Re: Just when you thought...

Maybe I'm alone here, but when I think of GUITAR, I think: Jonas Brothers.  Maybe Premier Guitar will do a "rig rundown" with them next..my fingers are crossed!!  -Seth  Is my sarcasm too obvious?

LMAO! That's what I first thought when I saw it. How many fathers are going to end up being closet Jonas Bros Gibby players??   lol  lol  lol

Re: Just when you thought...

Why don't they just paint it with Pink Sparkle and get it over with? Maybe it comes with some trading cards.

Just get a tokai love rock, if it's good enough for Billy Gibbons.

Re: Just when you thought...

We were discussing this on the Dean Guitars forum.

Gibson are going down the pan sad

To me, Gibson means 'Blues' and 'Hard Rock'  cool Not 'Pop' and 'Disney'

FFFUUUUU

Re: Just when you thought...

OH GREAT  roll

There's a new JB model in Gibson, and it isn't Joe Bonamassa...

It's... gasp. The Jonas Brothers.

I am crying inside.

Ask me about my handwound Great Lakes Guitar Pickups
Since 2010, Bonamassa fans have taken advantage of my JB friend discount = my cost + shipping. cool

Re: Just when you thought...

Good Day,

C'mon guys, give Gibson a break...

Gibson is just doing what it's supposed to do...trying to sell guitars, and make a profit,

They are covering the whole spectrum from low end to high end,

Eric Clapton / Joe Bonamassa to Jonas Bros or Barbie and Ken

So the flavor of the month is a Jonas Bros Melody Maker...who cares?

This is the Free Enterprise system...they don't owe anybody an explanation or excuse

other than their shareholders...bottom line it's called CAPITALISM

They have to continue to roll out new products to keep the money machine rolling

or CEO's get replaced and companies go under.

Don't get so down trodden...You / We can still find GREAT Examples of the Gibson

guitars we all love, and used to know, new and used.

I would argue that Gibson is making some of it's best guitars ever today...

and maybe some not so great ,and you as a consumer have a choice...

If you don't like the product..then, Don't buy them!

That's how a free market works...ultimately, the consumer makes the choice as to

what lives or dies.

If they weren't exploring new avenues...we would have never seen a Joe Bonamassa

LP. or the Epi JB LP.

Cheers
