Ehm.... I don't think so.

I haven't been impressed with Gibson at all for a pretty long time now. Like VikingBlues said, it seems they're catering more to the collectors, instead of the people who need guitars- guitarists! They're just too overpriced. (I don't usually like their sound anyway, but tone is a lot more subjective than price.) And then they try and do something like this, but I can't see it as practical at all, just another expensive thing for a collector somewhere to hang on their wall. And it looks... ghastly.

The Beano repro would be pretty cool, but I can only imagine what the price tag will be...
