I am very pro-Gibson, but ... this one is likely far from being a strong design.

Looks a bit like a Randy Rhoads tribute.

Oh I don't know, at least they don't put out the exact same 5 or 6 designs over and over or (even worse) do mashups of those same 5 or 6 designs. :roll: :lol:

Whoever designed that stupid pickguard on the Jagstrat wants firing, the selector is in a stupid position , should've used the 3 switch one like the Jag and put it where the original Strat one is, turning the bottom half of the pickguard round so it fits the contour of the body

This is all I can see in that guitar.
It just screams out at me.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

$4500 American for this? I’d have to get hit over the head with a meteorite before that happened. Well, okay. Maybe if they throw in a bag. :lol:
