Adam Jones Berserker

[Pancreas]

So, I just got an email from my Sweetwater rep, stating that these are now in stock.
They're gonna sell FAST.

Oh shit, I always loved that painting....Molly Hatchet.

It’s two signature guitars in one!

Super excited! I pre-ordered the Berserker a while back but will reach out to my rep to see when mine will be ready. Hoping it doesn’t disappoint in person. I cancelled a Veil Of Bees I had secured to get this Berserker instead, hopefully I made the right call.

You can never go wrong with Frank Frazetta.

That looks like something that would appear on an amateur artwork effort, featured in one of the ads on 60 Cycle Hum!

Gibson have already rinsed the crap out of the Adam Jones thing. But at least they didn't ruin any new silverbursts in the process...until now.

When I watched Trogly's episode on these new Epiphone efforts, I was rendered speechless. Nothing has changed since then.

These things already look appallingly awful, made worse by the blatent cash-grab inherent in releasing multiple versions of truly horrible "limited edition" guitars.

Has Adam Jones ever even used or played one of these atrocities in public?

funny, my friend was going to send me that Frazetta Poster. he has a couple extra posters but i went with a different one than that one cause that Molly cover heh.
btw if you dont know the legend of Frazetta, yer in for a treat
to that point, i live close to the family, know them fairly well. all those rock pics i post I can thank a very good friend of mine who gave me my 1st photo access a couple lifetimes ago. i wanted to show him my appreciation, so i pulled a favor and got him a signed artist print. not many left available, and yeah pretty serious money for them

No Ro , i dont get that shot

When I spoke with my Sweetwater Rep, back on the day that the Veil of Bees came out, he said they were all spoken for as well as the next one. So they have not even gotten them in or before all were even made yet, were all already sold/spoken for. I don't want to purchase one before I see the top... or should I say the Artwork on the back. haha

Understandable haha. If you have any local stores where you could see the guitar before bringing it home or return back to them easily, might be worth trying that route.

I own the Veil of Bees Custom and it quickly became my #1, I really love this guitar.

I really think Sweetwater dropped the ball on the Veil of Bees model, I got mine thru AMS, I've had great experiences with them over the past 4-5 years.

My Epiphone Adam Jones is actually a great guitar, so is my Epiphone Standard 50's and my Epiphone '59. I think the Gibson Adam Jones Standard is a horrible idea.
I'm not sure why you find them "appalingly awful", and as far a being a cash-grab, doesn't that apply to any Signature model? My "atrocity" of a guitar looks great, plays great and sounds great. And cost quite a bit less than the Gibson AJ Custom.
I suppose it's all subjective though...

They appear to be cork-sniffers.
