Gibson Dusk Tiger

Look what’s just landed in our inbox…

You have a rare wealth of creative potential lurking deep within, but until now no guitar has had the power to fully tap into it. Enter Gibson’s Dusk Tiger, simply the most astounding innovation in the history of the guitar. In the wake of Gibson’s groundbreaking Dark Fire, the new Dusk Tiger offers an unprecedented wealth of features to expand your sonic horizons exponentially, yet it brings them to you with greatly increased levels of performance and ease of use, and all at an affordable price. Not only does the Gibson Dusk Tiger offer an awe-inspiring versatility of tone and playability, it also captures a stunning new look that is arguably refined in such a way that musicians will stare in amazement.


Ahh...it's all clear now...

It retains the general Les Paul-inspired body lines, but presents them in a guitar with a flat top made from an exotic hardwood beaming with golden, amber, and dark chocolate hues. This top is coupled with a tone-chambered back, and a unique new pickguard and control layout. Under the hood, the Gibson Dusk Tiger reveals countless new features and unprecedented technology that give it even more power, along with considerable upgrades and improvements of existing electronics and control systems, and an unlimited number of sound possibilities.

Erm...words fail us...

Guys, make a series of classic guitars along the lines of Fender's awesome Road Worn series and you'll be in business; why not make 'em affordable too?. Not rocket science, surely? I'll order my black Les Paul Custom now if you like...and my SG Standard. Sheesh!

You've really got to wonder what the execs at Gibson are on these days... Dusk Tiger, Zoot Suit SGs; not to mention the (now strangely non-existent) Hendrix "strat"...

Seemingly, everything good stopped with the release of the ES-339 - can we rewind to then and just stop, please?

Good call about the 339 Ross.

We think Gibson have truly lost it this time...

Of course, that's more or less what they said about the Explorer/V... wonder how much these will be worth in 50 years.
I dread to think that in 2050 a genuine Authentic Hendrix Little wing may be worth more than a small house!

Couldn't agree more!

Give me classic good looks, solid build and a guitar that holds its tuning and sounds great on the bridge and neck humbucker anyday over a Starship Enterprise array of features that quite simply will never, ever get used.
