8) gibson just released this new gtr called "new eye gtr". it might be
a good electric gtr but coming from gibson i wonder whats their
true intention is. i try to be generous about the new gtrs but this
gibson is hard one to make sense. some more non-sense ones
from gibson lately. where are they going to? where are we going to
lately???
Dressed to Kill
Eye catching? You?d better believe it. Gibson USA?s new Eye Guitar nails a look like nothing else on the planet. Its ultra-pointy, offset double-cutaway body is dressed in a nitrocellulose lacquer Fire Engine Red finish that?s matched on the headstock, while the powder-coated pickup covers echo the theme. The swooping, symmetrical pickguard recalls custom creations seen on the guitars of the ?70s, but is totally original and unique, while the jet-black ebony fingerboard ? sans position markers ? adds a touch of elegance and simplicity.
Eviscerating Tone
More than just a looker, the Eye Guitar is packed with all the tonal goodness that Gibson USA is known for. Its solid mahogany body and glued-in mahogany neck maximize resonance and sustain, while the ebony fingerboard adds an edge of clarity and definition to every note ? even through heavily distorted settings on high-gain amplifiers. The pickups, a 490R at the neck and a 498T at the bridge, are the optimum humbuckers for hard rockin? performance, blended with a dash of vintage-voiced sweetness. The 490R uses Alnico II magnets and features pole-piece spacing suitable to the string spread at the neck position, while also being calibrated for balanced volume when matched with a hotter 498T in the bridge, a ?Hot Alnico? design that uses a punchier Alnico V magnet and modified coil windings to provide even more oomph for rock lead work.
