Henry has spent millions to jam this guitar down the throats of the guitarists' world.... Only one one thing.... real guitarists want an instrument, not a technological toy.
Thank you Henry for destroying the once proud name of Gibson in the guitarists' musical world..
I will now sell all the Gibsons I own, including 7 vintage models...
Henry, thanks for fucking up the legacy of a great company...
im sorry but give me a good old firebird anyday, it just seems like all the soul of music is getting replaced by this computer shit. like if you agree.
lets just wait and see what happens guys. i'm personally gonna get one to see what it's like, and also to diversify my growing collection. if the guitar doesnt see much progress, and gets taken off the shelves within the next year or two, it may become more valuable. here's what i'm thinking:
Look people this is not for adult guitar players that have been playing for 20+ years. this is for people like my age around 14 years old that know how to play guitar very well. Gibson is looking for the future of young guitar players, sort of like a phone company that makes all the new smartphones.
@MonsterBuddy10 how does an autotuner help kids learn guitar? and how can a kid afford this piece of shit? It's 5 grand for this. so I really don't know what your talking about. By the way I'm 17 and been playing for only 3 years, I think this shit is bullshit
@Rimorox Well i have a 7 grand guitar so there is that and you can't say a guitar is a piece of shit until you play the damn thing. And how many guitars have you owned in the past three years, I have owned 6 guitars in the past 7 years that I have played guitar so don't judge a book by it's cover okay?
@MonsterBuddy10 why do you have a 7 grand guitar if your 14, I HIGHLY doubt you bought it yourself. and I'm judging the fact that 1. its ugly as fuck 2. its electronic and built basically for fags that don't wanna learn how to tune or do anything that you need to learn 3. its extremely overpriced, now if it was like 500 bucks maybe i'd give it a chance but jesus gibson. And just you know I wasnt judging your skill on guitar I was judging your idiotic statement about this guitar
It even plays backwards, but why have all the effects onboard on the guitar itself, they are planning on doing this with the rest of their line of guitars, the point of which I don't see. Just have their FirebirdX as their recording guitar & leave it at that....can't imagine the expense of this guy's set-up.
but what if i want two effects HAHA got you now gibson.......
but really thiis is overkill the idea i guess is cool but really i would rather own 2 maybe even 3 different guitars then this one ugly crazally programmed guitar i just want a guitar i can pick up play and enjoy.....
im working on my own guitar project right now. its essentially the same thing with out the use of a laptop pre-setting effects. the guitar can be eq'd, compressed, have time based effects that can be changed and switched by the user, and one other slight difference that sets it way far apart from the firebird x. its still on the drawing board and i am in the touching up process and about to start buying the needed parts. Is this a better idea then the fire bird and possible?
@ZenDriveSeven xaxaxaxaxaxa awesome comment bro! Utmost respect! "Let me reboot my guitar...". Does it support USB 3.0 and fire-wire? Awesome, peace of crap!
@GregoryJohnsonJr But it's Gibson. These are some of the guys that GAVE electric guitars soul. This is just yet another of Gibson's guitars of the future, in my humble opinion.
Yikes. That's a lot of dependency on technology, which provides the potential for any number of weak links. Besides the potential for bugs, if these were being built in 1963 do you think that they would be a desired, sought-after commodity in 2011? Project that 40 years into into the future - do you think the support technology is going to remain stable?
I have all those effects already. Line 6 tries to do that with their amps. I have all those already too. What happened to guitars that were just guitars?
@lllULTIMATEMASTERlll I would much rather have pedals than this technology... this is only gibson effects, so i you really like fx. a Line 6 distortion, you would have to have the pedal anyway
@TheEliasMolander This is only the first version of this. In the future, which i hope this never happens, there will be guitars like this that can replicate any effect perfectly and give you a pretty good distorted sound just by plugging in the guitar. I'm not exactly a fan of this at all but you've got to admit Gibson had some pretty big balls to do this.
You know im not a thumb hoe but please thumb this if you think the same way as me and think, that gibson should stop inventing stuff like this and saving up money for making Les Pauls cheaper!
if advantage of buying an oldskool guitar is that you just have to pay for the features and fx you really want.with this guitar you are forced to take the whole package.
besides i dont see why this sould be called a firebird anymore,except for its shape.i came here because i wanted to hear a sweet firebird vii sound through a old vox amp but couldnt find any videos.
you know, you put this in a working musicians hands and you could probably produce some good stuff. this wouldnt be a bad studio recording guitar I think. its probably a lot like some effects processors where the presets sound way too lame out of the box but once you start editing things it sounds much better
I like the auto-tune feature..I even like the idea of coil-tapping and reversing phase on each coil...but leave the effects to the effect pedals.....and for gods sake put this technology into a guitar that actually looks cool......I doubt gibson is even reading this feedback.
sounds like crap. shame on gibson, ugly too. stop it with the electronic crap and get back to making good solid guitars. I just tried a new les paul that weighed nothing. how am I supposed to get tone out of that? I was told that the body was bored out. wtf??? nothing exciting from gibson lately.
Uh it's complicated, I'd prefer the normal Gibsons, but I am sure if we understood how this guitar works, we'll love it .. Because surely they've put many features in it.
as for U.S.A on the back of the headstock they should consider changing it to made in germany & assembled in america...tronical is a german company & i don't have a problem with that...i just think gibson should remove the made in the U.S.A stamp because it drives the price up on shity guitar like this
it looks like a bowling ball on crack made by tronical wih gibson being the crack whore & selling their name to slap on it for a 20 dollar rock...this is a tronical p.o.s it's really not made by gibson & it has very little if any input from craig anderton...
This is gonna blow away all vintage guitars and i dont want that to happen have we became to lazy to tune our own guitar???? They are gonna start putting this in all gibsons and its just stupid....cool concept but not smart idea soon guitar are gonna be basically synths with strings!
gibson used to be amazing making one of the popular and best guitars ever, the les paul. Now it looks like their running out of ideas and going down hill with modern technology
This thing is going to sell like a popped balloon I swear. And unlike the v and explorer which also had unpopular debuts, this will never come in style or become better with age, because all of this technology will be out of date its going to be ten years from now. Hell its out of date now seeing as how much better pedals perform against these effects now matter how many updates are made. They should rip all the crap out, make it solid ash and just have master volume and 2 tones or 3 vol 1 tone.
I think it might be great for the studio – but God forbid I should ever be seen with anything like that on a stage. This thing clearly has styling issues.
this is a guitar that will not sell on a metal or rock market, its great to have all these tone and sounds, but they some how missed one major and obvious flaw, its way to fucking complicated. there are over 100 sounds, great, but 1. i cant afford it 2. if you find an awesome sound and accidently touch the knob u lose it, and 3. that guy is wrong, it will go out of style, in fact it already has. they call it revolutionary, for 1800 people, way to go gibson, you fucked yourself over
Guitars are going to change, this is probably not a big and perfect step towards new generations of electric guitars, but it IS a step. So dont be that oldfashioned, be open to new stuff, give it a try and if you do not like it then dont buy it.
To me this guitar looks kinda fun, even though it might be hard to get into it
Bloated. What the hell happened to plugging into a distortion pedal and into your amp? I play the guitar as a way to unwind or have some fun with other people jamming. This looks like you need a fucking 4 year degree to use. No thanks.
this is really the worst thing they came up with in the past 70 years. This isn't a guitar, its a freaking amusementpark... What on earth were they thinking? Totally not in line with anything Gibson used to stand for... What a shame, what a shame...
Gibson.... um yeah, what exactly were you smoking when you thougt up this one. Guitar meets Line 6 poopy modeler? C'mon. Here is an idea . Stick t the same quality as your "Custom Shop" models and price them realistically. The market has changed. The over -priced stuff your selling right now does not cut it.
auto tuning is the only good thing

Guitars are going to change, this is probably not a big and perfect step towards new generations of electric guitars, but it IS a step. So dont be that oldfashioned, be open to new stuff, give it a try and if you do not like it then dont buy it.
To me this guitar looks kinda fun, even though it might be hard to get into it

Bloated. What the hell happened to plugging into a distortion pedal and into your amp? I play the guitar as a way to unwind or have some fun with other people jamming. This looks like you need a fucking 4 year degree to use. No thanks.

this is pointless. I'd end up completely fucking up all the settings and then get really angry with it

this is really the worst thing they came up with in the past 70 years. This isn't a guitar, its a freaking amusementpark... What on earth were they thinking? Totally not in line with anything Gibson used to stand for... What a shame, what a shame...

Gibson.... um yeah, what exactly were you smoking when you thougt up this one. Guitar meets Line 6 poopy modeler? C'mon. Here is an idea . Stick t the same quality as your "Custom Shop" models and price them realistically. The market has changed. The over -priced stuff your selling right now does not cut it.

Thers 3 things wrong with this guitar: 1: The finish is ugle 2: Who needs that much effects in a guitar? 3: Who has the money to spend on it?
