Hmm, well then, Gibson wins the inlay contest.
Mustaine left Dean and went to Gibson/Epiphone/Kramer

I kinda liked the 8-ball on the DV8s.

Yeah, No, Definitely.
My '18 classic had nibs? Was this just to keep it "classic"?

There was considerable backlash when they stopped, so they phased back in on some lines around 16'/17', including the Classic and Traditional, while the Standard and Modern did not. Like I said, it's been pretty spotty since then, appearing on some models you wouldn't expect and absent from ones you would.
Shocking they are not all in Essex by now
Interesting to see the strap button off centre and have they added a piece of wood at the end of the fingerboard past the 24th fret?
Still in stock in a few shops at RRP though

Well, I guess just not my cup of tea. But I think those guitars look bland as all hell. "Classic", I guess, but I just see nothing in them. I think a slightly modified V shape and Explorer models would've been better.

I kinda like it, but its almost like he took his King V and said "make this".

Dave and his Vs are the guitar equivalent of that person who was in a long term, deep relationship that ended badly who proceeds to only date others that are eerily similar to the long term ex-partner.

The wooden finish one isn't too bad but it's missing the extra 10% to make it pop. Not a fan of those witch hat knobs on it either.

Friend of mine bought it in paris ( his pics there ) this morning. Said the finish was good, even the truss cavity is clean. Huge sturdy case. Strangely when it comes to usa, i found the dean to be more classy wood wise.

No clue about the end of the fretboard, but the offset strap button was probably intentional to make fret access a little easier. Probably unnecessary, but I'm seeing it on other ones as well.
Also not surprised at all scalpers are getting in on this ATM... even though they're going to be fully released in a little over 2 months.
Yep, Jackson or even Dean would have selected the most attractive planks of wood and made sure the grain was aligned with the horns. Gibson seems to be using an IKEA table as a benchmark.

Pointy star bastard.
Leave it to an adult man who has a full on Kiss bedroom set including the pillow cases.

Douche had already dropped his price and added “MAKE AN OFFER” to his listing title.
