The delivery date for Gibson's new Firebird X is a little delayed; even the count-down counter over at the manufacturer's website had been removed. The team did some other touches to these guitars before releasing them to the public... soon.
The finish you see there was inspired by the recent flood at the Gibson plant where receding water left a swirl-like pattern on the floor, the above pic is an example.
We wonder if the (Ibanez) JEM swirl drew inspiration from a certain spillage of sorts. Maybe someone bumped over a bowl of miso soup at the drawing board...
