Re: Another new one from Gibson....

No tone knob...Joe is a tone knob freak!  I think it's kinda cool though, I just wish Gibson would stop drilling holes in their guitars.  Definately an attention grabber!

Re: Another new one from Gibson....

For those of us who like lighter guitars, I can see it. For me? I like my Explorer to be the weight of a freakin coffee table!

Let's blame Steve Vai, he's the one who started putting holes in guitars.

I think I remember seeing Argent in the early 70's (Russ Ballard) with a Strat with holes drilled in it big enough to hold it by.
