Change the knobs and cover the pickups, and I could ignore the headstock. It would be an active effort to ignore it, but I could do it.

Other than that, it's ugly.

I see Andy is in an especially cruel mood this Monday.

So ugly even Billy Gibbons wouldn't take it.

Sigh. If only it had a Floyd...

:rawk: I almost snagged one of the Epiphone Modernes when Mars Music was selling them ages ago...

You know what I've always liked about the Moderne?

I dig it. A flying V with a Bo Diddly vibe.

The designer of that headstock needs to receive a proctological exam with one.

Nothing about it says that it's for me.

I've always disliked these. I've really tried to warm up to them, I really have, but just never could. Then, Zakk Wylde came along and made sure I could hate them forever and ever.

I always wanted a guitar to match my bowling ball.......

Cool, but I still prefer the Gibson version. I'm kicking myself for not buying one of the 2012 re-issues I tried out:

Modernes are kind of a love/hate thing. Me? I love 'em. They're really comfy to play, and they sound killer.

 

[Modern Saint]

There was a time that I wanted a Gibson Korina Wood Moderne and that would be the only one that I would want. I maybe snobbish on this but that is how it is.
