Would never buy it and if received as a gift, might get played once but then re-gifted or stowed away in a dark, dark place never to be seen again.

Gibson seems to have collectively lost their freakin mind with their 2017 'budget' line. Hideous.
I hate to imagine what Gibson's idea of "Budget" priced guitars is.
Oh dear. A reverse reverse design... ?Quote:

The cheapest of this 'S' series is the M2 slab Les Paul style which they list at $499, so might sell at £299 (though it all depends on the price to the dealer). The pickups on the 'bird are US 'DS-C' (ceramics with double slugs - no screw poles). Probably not going to be the most detailed of pickups.Quote:

Surprisingly they still have rosewood fingerboards, but have poplar bodies and maple necks.
That Firebird Zero looks quite retro, so they may sell quite a few of them if the quality was still OK. They come in a wide range of colours, and some of those other colours look quite good on it.

Looks like the type of guitar you buy to beat the designer around the head with.
Who remembers this monstrosity?

Well, it seems Davie504 got his hands on it and put up a video!

Apparently the lowest 5 strings are completely unplayable, not surprising considering they are so slack they touch each other. Wow.
If this guy plays it - it may look okay......Quote:

yeah Fretty/Ponch not much of a fan of the travelcaster, it's still going to need an almost full size case so not really a travelling axe. I'd much prefer a short scale chiquita axe for a travel axe - the case is only 29 inches long (737mm)
