New Brendan Small Prototype Gibsons

[jwade]

There's a video on youtube of Brendon showing off the new guitar:

 

[MaxOfMetal]

I'm digging them both pretty hardcore. If either hits retail I might just need to sell a Les Paul or two.

 

[Rick]

More 7 strings on the market is good but it's not my thing.

 

[ZXIIIT]

+1 for 7 a string exporer.

But.

Do they even think about the design aspects of these? Why would anyone ever put an output jack there on that V?

The explorer looks cool, but the white headstock? Gibson is 98% all black headstocks only, and now that they do a white one, it doesn't match the body...

*facepalm mute*

I was hoping for a baritone Les Paul Custom 7 string.

Let me just think about that for a little while....

Ok done, this is a nice guitar, glad to see another Gibson 7.

If you play live with your cable tucked behind your strap,
it's actually an extremely convenient place for an input.

That 7 string Exploder is bad ASSSS!!
Too bad it's a 24.5 scale

 

[GhostsofAcid]

So much want.

I can see that, but in that case, why not just place it under the top wing? like Ibanez and others do?

Still, more 7s

 

[RevelGTR]

Yeah, the headstock is hideous, and I don't care for the V either. Hope it's just a prototype flaw.

 

[Heroin]

it's always nice seeing some old-school guitar companies make modernized versions of their guitars. 7 string silverburst explorer w/ EMGs

now if fender would release a Jim Root Telecaster 7 string

 

[The Only Factor]

MMMMMMMMMM That Explorer 7. Sooo much more GAS if it had the black headstock and a 25.5" scale...

I may one of these days get the normal Explorer 7 and black it out - that is if the shorter scale don't piss me off enough and sell it...

 

[The Reverend]

I've gotta pass on these. Not like I'd be able to afford them, anyways!

 

[thealexkelley]

i think it'd be pretty cool if they made a burstbucker 7 string pickup, freakin love them in LP's and i think they'd be awesome in that explorer! Also, 2 more frets... just 2 more...

 

[SirMyghin]

Damn the finish on that V is just awesome.

 

[Hemi-Powered Drone]

That would be my only qualm with it, EMGs are fine, but Burstbuckers. Oh sweet Jesus, I'd do things for seven string Burstbuckers. I wonder what would be similar enough to them to replace the EMGs with.

 

[iRaiseTheDead]

Since when did he start using 7s?! Am I late on something?

 

[drmosh]

More routing required, it's simply easier to put there

 

[Necris]

I like the V much better than the explorer.

Luckily, its quite easy to change the setup on a v

Too bad it's a 24.5 scale

Exact same problem I have with the Ibby ARZ307. I just can't fathom anything shorter than 25.5 being less than futile...
