Bought it, really enjoy playing it. It’s light, thin, rounded, sounds great, stays in tune( I did put Grover locking tuners on). Love the neck profile. No complaints and happy to own this in my collection. I’ve actually played this 90% of the time since getting this 3 weeks ago.
When I first saw it a while back, I was unsure, but his time around it's growing on me. As you mentioned, the shape is not pigeon-holed into any specific genre which makes it interesting and gives a blank canvass. For me it would be between the SG and Theodore, guess it just depends on which way you want to display your horns! LOL! Dinesh, really enjoy your playing and the demos you do on the Gear Guides! 🤘
That sounds incredible, unique tones that have definitely caught my attention. Sold my 60's SG decades ago, regretted that ever since, this might be the one to fill that hole in my soul.
I am diggin Dinesh playing and the video is great as usual, not sure about the guitar, but I'd love to try it myself! Good for Gibson to bring something new/old
I want one of these in Natural so so bad! It looks both aggressive and yet soft. As if you can play hard rock down to super lush clean ambient church music. I must acquire one! But I do also like the Cherry finish. So idk it may be a hard choice…better yet, one of each! 😂 I doubt my wife would go for that one 😂😂
Just ordered mine...cherry red. Yee ha!! Thank you Gibson And thank you Dinesh. Some dude said it looks like a tulip shape...i don't get that vibe from it at all. To me its more like devil horns or it came out of the late 50's or 60' show munsters. Cool.
A 'deluxe' version with mini humbuckers and a bright sunburst would be sick! I'm probably not the only one when I say you guys should introduce some other cool new body shapes :).
Sounds bright & clear. I like the cherry red, of those colors. I wonder how it would look in tobacco sunburst. Firebird headstock would match better, I think.
I kind of wish you guys went in on the floral tulip thing and did some bright solid colors like an inverness green or heather poly metallic mist, been perfect for spring time
cant help imagining it with binding all over the place, but most of all with the epiphone's elongated headstock, how cool would it be to see the epiphone one with the gibson letters? thanks for the video
Like everything about it except for the the finish you can tell that the finish is not very good and I'm talking all the way around the finish work is not good
These are cool and I'm glad to see something "new" added to the US production line but they seem "girly" to me. I think if Gibson targeted female players and offered them in shell pink, sonic blue and surf green, etc., they'd be a big hit. Put one in the hands of a female artist and push the "tulip" moniker instead of Theodore (yes, I know why it's called Theodore). To me, it seems like something Courtney Love would have played when she was relevant. Again, I like it but I wouldn't play it.

This in “Goldtop” gold would just be perfect.
If a new designer came to Gibson with this design in 2024 they would flat out laugh at him/her.
Imagine this in white though.
That would also be cool!
Yes!!! White
It's a tulip! 🌷
Those 57 classic sounds incredible in this guitar! Probably my favourite Gibson pickups
They do sound lovely!

Thanks so much for the kind comments
@@gibson That first riff with the band was like a Manic Street Preachers HOLY BIBLE era riff.
What an album.
Sold if it comes in Pelham Blue!! Enjoyed your playing too!!!
OOOOOH now that would be a cool color too!
It's like it sits right between the LPs brightness and the SGs chunkiness.. cool guitar. Definitely needs more colors
You sure you don't got those backwards?
@@Commander_Grub nope
Great looking and sounding instrument. Nice haircut, Dinesh :)
Just imagine this guitar with the Firebird headstock. OMG!
It’s really unique. I can’t wait to try one out in person!
Wait so it’s a 50’s design from McCarty but it’s got a slim neck? Hmmm 🤔 idk how I like that. But I’m still fired up to pick one of these up!
Obviously, this is more like an SG than anything else. I really want one. I love the shape.
We love you Gibson, I want a SG.

Thanks for watching!
great throwback to the good ole days! great great great move!
If it was available as a lefty I'd place my order today. I think it is beautiful and as an Explorer owner I really dig the headstock.
The 57s sound awesome!!

I love it. I actually prefer it to the SG .
I like it a lot!
Im holding out for a antique natural Theodore Junior please Gibson
Imagine this in satin black with p90s 🤤.... Ugh I have to get one of these.
Does the playability here resemble that of an SG? With the center point shifted to the left?
I prefer the look of the standard over the look of the custom ...Wonder how it'd look with binding on the body ?
Just sounds like another Les Paul
Just ordered mine...cherry red.
Yee ha!!
Thank you Gibson
And thank you Dinesh.
Some dude said it looks like a tulip shape...i don't get that vibe from it at all.
To me its more like devil horns or it came out of the late 50's or 60' show munsters.
Cool.
I hope the guitar serves you well!
Love the band demos!
Love these. Seriously want one
This has "Firebird X' written all over it....
I like these ❤ Yet to play one (send me one for review?) But they do sound typically awesome 👍🙂👍
Bellissima, ho già tante chitarre, se fate un modellò Epiphone la prenderò sicuramente 🎸🎶💥🤟
Just picked one up and I absolutely love it
Which color did you get?!
He’s not telling, lol
cant wait for Mod collection on Theodore. Dear Gibson can we have LP classic in custom colour too?
Sweet jams nice writing
Thanks for listening
A 'deluxe' version with mini humbuckers and a bright sunburst would be sick! I'm probably not the only one when I say you guys should introduce some other cool new body shapes :).
When is the epiphone version comming out cant wait in heritage burst wood be cool
Sounds bright & clear. I like the cherry red, of those colors. I wonder how it would look in tobacco sunburst. Firebird headstock would match better, I think.
We need this in colors like shell pink, TV yellow or some sort of light purple. Maybe even swap the black plastics for cream.
*JUST A REMINDER* that the LES PAUL was a huge flop when it was first released. . . . . Just saying....
Looks very similar to my very first guitar - a Tiesco Del Ray!
It’s beautiful😮😮
Surprised Gibson put this out.
Sales must be low
I kind of wish you guys went in on the floral tulip thing and did some bright solid colors like an inverness green or heather poly metallic mist, been perfect for spring time
Needs volume controls for each pickup. Gotta be able to blend!
I would love to see it with p90s like the original
I think it's WAY better looking than the Epiphone Wiltshire. imagine a slightly thicker one with binding all over it like a Custom and in white. 🤤
WE need comparison between warp around and stop tail bridge (custom vs standard). also why no vol+tone for each pickup? it is a standard after all!
The body shape looks like a Teisco Tulip.
Dig it. Would be more sonically versatile if the two pots were concentric volume/tone
I would prefer this with a Les Paul headstock. More uniform. That being said it's odd and I like it because it's different. I would use this on stage.
Off the SG and Explorer had a baby!
Epiphone version?
Honestly, if you have your eye on a new Gibson, are you really going to pick the Tulip 🌷 🤷🏼♂️
@@InjectBleach-em9tg what? 🤔
I want one with a Floyd Rose!
I DO TOO. It would look awesome I bet!
Sounds great
cant help imagining it with binding all over the place, but most of all with the epiphone's elongated headstock, how cool would it be to see the epiphone one with the gibson letters?
thanks for the video
This thing in gold top or vintage teal, love this Theodore
I can't find this on gibson's website.
I can see a one-off Mod edition with Floyd and higher gain pickups….or a semi-hollow in the same shape….
Epiphone Grabber confirmed. Actual arrow headstock plus musicman style pickup is great for mods.
Would a vibrola trem fit on this thang?
I may get one once they hit to the second hand market. 👍
Good Review exotic Effekts and playing
I like it 👍
Rad Gibson!
I’m guessing that bass is an Easter egg!
👀
Make a white one!
P90s please
Could I get this through the Custom Shop? Cobra burst, ebony fretboard, dirty finger pickups?
Hi! Please contact your local dealer and they can help with that!
love the body...but the headstock says "we didn't learn anything in fifty-years about strings sticking in the nut."
tug ur strings and tune up to pitch. your welcome.
la necesito :(
👀 Epiphone Grabber? Am I losing my mind
It looks like the Yamaha Revstar
Very expensive for an ugly SG!
What if the designer read your comment and got his feelings hurt?
Nope
...
Like everything about it except for the the finish you can tell that the finish is not very good and I'm talking all the way around the finish work is not good
It's way to expensive for a experimental guitar, Gibson never build
No question, the ugliest Gibson ever created. This is horrifying
Just my opinion…these might be the ugliest guitars ever made lol.
There is a reason that the original design for this was tucked-away among Ted McCarty's files. Sorry, this guitar is ugglyyy.
just looks like a toilet lid with a neck attached.
These are cool and I'm glad to see something "new" added to the US production line but they seem "girly" to me. I think if Gibson targeted female players and offered them in shell pink, sonic blue and surf green, etc., they'd be a big hit.

Horrible sound amp
As usual, going to have poor Quality Control, be over priced and... well yeah thats enough.
Buying one this week, in natural…
