Gibson Government Series ...

[crossroadsnyc]

"Using the woods returned from the 2 highly questionable raids the US Government did on their factory in Nashville, Gibson has decided to release the new Government series of guitars. Limited in number, these guitars feature a ‘Government Grey’ finish, classic Dirty Fingers model pickups and come in new olive green hardshell cases. 300 Les Pauls, 175 SGs, 100 Explorers and 100 Flying Vs are all that are being built."

I think the black on gray is awesome.
But it needs an ebony fretboard to really make it's look

 

[Lowlife]

HEHEHEHEhe, Now THAT is a great sense of humour

 

[Grunch]

Love it if it's real. Big middle finger to our ignorant, idiotic, hapless clusterfuck of a government.

 

[Badmonkey]

Government?

 

[Micky]

I'd get one if I was in the market for an LP.

But I really NEED a Tele...

 

[Wycked Lester]

right about here is where i would normally post my stock reply; Fuck Gibson.

... but this is actually pretty awesome, a big ole southern fried 'fuck you' for Uncle Sam

675 guitars total being built with the rosewood that was seized from the two raids? I would have thought that the confiscated wood would yield much more. So that must mean that they Fed's didn't sieze that much of this 'bad wood'.

 

[VintageGuy]

they've got to be joking.....

 

[Badmonkey]

$1100? for the Government?

I like that, actually.

 

[scat7s]

awesome concept.

dirty fingers hahaha, perfect.

not crazy about how they actually look though...

 

[^AXE^]

I like the Dirty Fingers pickups.

The sound pretty good for a mass produced product.

Had a set in an old Explorer.

 

[Rocktane]

I like the concept. I'll take one of the Explorers!

Can you imagine the laughs that ensued when someone first suggested dirty fingers pups? I'll be this is one of the most fun series of guitars that they've ever done.

See what happens when you tread on Henry J? He decides to sell a limited number of ugly guitars.

 

[^AXE^]

That is one fucked up picture.

lolz

Ditto. I don't like the look either, especially the drab green case, yuk.
