What always surprises me is how many of these hideous abominations have Gibson’s name on them. It’s like Gibson forgot how to make a guitar after the 60’s.
No way ...Post #29
Also....I really want to know the story behind this...or maybe I don't.
Dude! Do you have the huge matching cabinet?I still own one of these fine things (picture from web). It's in storage. I had it out a few months ago and it still worked.
Yup. My former mentor / open-mic host owned a couple of these Tylers, one black, the other cosmic vomit finish. Although the guy was a true friend in every sense, I couldn't quite get used to his preference for guitars.
The Gibson Moderne! A guitar teacher I took a couple lessons from showed me an example of his, asked me how much I thought it was worth. I had no clue and, TBH, the headstock just didn't do it for me. The body shape I could get used to, but not the headstock.
An Ovation from the 70's/80's! Do you think Klein adapted their design from this? The Ovation factory used to be about 15 minutes from us, then they moved northwest into the boonies in Connecticut. That's a pretty rad piece of history there. Am guessing that the tone doesn't do much for the guitar...My first pro-quality guitar:

They must have bought a lot of burl really cheap. I have a AZ with a burl top, and while I love it to death (the guitar, not the top) I wish it had a flame top.I'm an Ibanez guy and I think much of the new burl tops look like zombie faces with acne issues.
I wonder if that would match a JMP-1.Not the most offensive thing here, but my bandmates always called my Boss GX700 the Cheesebox.
Even once I got into a 4cm rig with that thing, there was one preset on it called 'Windows' that had an amp/cab sim I really liked. I've snuck that preset into recordings more times than I'd care to admit, or that anyone will ever know.
edit: in hindsight, that thing actually was a pretty decent precursor to the Fractal world, the way it was laid out.
It was marketed as being able to sound like either a Gibson or a Fender. They even had a chart that showed where to set the switches and knobs to get those results. Since I hadn't played either Gibsons or Fenders at that stage of my life (high school kid), I didn't know better. Once I got a real Gibson (the '68 Les Paul Custom I got my senior year), I realized how un-ballsy the active Ovation pickups and circuit sounded. It played like a dream, though. A few years later I owned an Ovation Deacon for a minute, too....An Ovation from the 70's/80's! Do you think Klein adapted their design from this?

That is certainly a unique model. I don't think I'd have the balls to gig with that doohickey if you handed it to me. I think I'd just get too big of a head receiving compliments.
Fortunately, it comes with a solution to that problem.That is certainly a unique model. I don't think I'd have the balls to gig with that doohickey if you handed it to me.
If you've got zombie lips with acne, try some lip balm and Clearasil. You'll thank yourself later.I'm an Ibanez guy and I think much of the new burl tops look like zombie faces with acne issues.
I guess it's the kind of thing that grows on you.Fortunately, it comes with a solution to that problem.
