It only clicked with me a while ago, the Moderne is a V you can play sitting down!!! I kinda dig them, in an oddball fashion, but I would never want to own one.

It's kind of hard to believe that the Explorer, Flying V and Moderne were all designed and originally released in the '50s (except the Moderne, which didn't make it off the drawing board until it was "re-released" in the '80s. And they all flopped as well, which is why Gibson brought a car designer in to make the Firebird to replace them.

I always thought the raised section on the 'Birds had traces of Harley tank/instrument cluster design in it. Shame they didn't call Harley Earl in we would have had streamliners! or Virgil Extner for some serious fins LOL

Why not ask for the ridiculous.
The Gibson Thunderbolt.
It was actually a guitar that a UK guitar magazine had made up as a April fools story in the 90's, I think Kramer made a few after some people asked about it.
