even if you dont play guitar, you would think that this is ugly. with the 7 holes on the guitar body, it should be much much much lighter, maybe something like a fender. my gibson itself is around 4.5kg. that should be around 3plus without all the wood that should be there. im alright with chambering in les pauls, but they can't possibly chamber this, so they just leave some holes there. i bet this is gonna collect lots of dust and cost a lot of moolah. total failure in looks. it might be better than the reverse V they released in 2007 or even on par (limited edt of 400 worldwide and is still available now)
i dont know why gibson can't get over creating the original 59'les paul. the custom shop just keeps churning out one after another line of similar stuff to the VOS they already have and is quite successful. it is supposed to 'replicate' the guitar that bloomfield uses by using modern technology. price? US$14,115 msrp. they are either nuts or nuts, you will be paying a few months salary to buy a purposely-made-old guitar.
Fail 3: Ibanez Destroyer
more or less an explorer shaped guitar like the gibson's without the price tag. doesn't look really practical. there's just something in it that i dont like. weird feeling, but its a fail. i tried out this before. 
i know how committed Roland is in delivering quality products. and i also know how good the Cube series of amps is. they are loud for their size, i have a roland cube 30x that have never been turned up to full volume yet.the window grilles are already rattling. this new monster comes with external speaker jack, which means that you can connect it to a 4x12 cabinet. but funny thing is that roland dont even make speaker cabinets!but this should be good, and affordable too. an orange tube amp is coming my way though, i wont need this.
this series is made to look like a well used guitar, and is relatively cheaper and you can save yourself many years of playing to age it this way. looks cool, should play well too.
