Gibson “Black Night” at TMS
Anyone else look at that thing yet? My first thought was, what a blatant rip-off of Weber’s “Black Ice”. Funny especially in light of all of Gibson’s holier than thou attitudes about others copying their designs. But I suppose it’s not possible to claim intellectual ownership of a color scheme. If it was, somebody would have made a trademark out of sunburst long ago.
Then, after I got over the resemblance to the Black Ice, my second thought was “OMG! Look at that flame!” Holy Moley, that is some of the most spectacular flame on the back, sides, and neck that I’ve seen! And the black stain really makes it pop! Drool worthy eye candy for sure.
If the sound matches the looks, it could be a good one for someone who likes a black top. I don’t. Fortunately. So therefore, not tempted.
