This has got to be the Ugliest Gibson shape, anyway.
Frankly, I think its good if Guitar Makers lose their shape patents -- they seem to be completely full of themselves, in how they continuously recycle the same shape every single year, and how it becomes this great thing to emulate, when its a bunch of tired designs for Boomers who vaguely remember a good time in the 50s or 60s -- and we all wonder why guitars have gone way downhill.
Maybe Gibson and whatever that other major brand is called, whose shape I despise so much I refuse to play it, should start being a little creative again and figure out if there's anything that Gen Z might be into.
This definitely feels like a no big loss to me. With the decline in guitar playing, it should be all hands on deck to make thiings that the next generation will remember as 2020 and 2021 stock fondly until they are greybeards, instead of just hanging on to designs that are total failures today.
Im really amazed at how much innovation is in Digital Pianos and how forward thinking companies like Yamaha's Piano Division is, and yet how Guitar divisions seem only to always look backwards to nostalgia.
