Shock Horror! Gibson and Fender both to do a PRS scale guitar!

stonevibe

It'll happen,

Once they've run out of ideas.

Oh sorry, think they already have.

I have a PRS scale nearly-Fender. It's brilliant

I won't be getting one

The thing is Fender & Gibson have all the ideas they need for continued success. Fender's core line of Strat, Tele, Jaguar, Mustang, Precision and Jazz doesn't really need anything added to it. Same with Gibson with Les Pauls, SG's, 335's etc. Why they, especially Gibson keep offering up shite most of us don't want, Firebird X anyone? Just concentrate on building the classic models better, although in fairness to Fender they've had their act together for quite some time now. Gibson on the other hand........

Oh yeah, I have a PRS with Gibson scale length and it's spot on.

If Gibson just did a proper mahogany explorer with big neck, non-ceramic pickups and natural finish I would at least consider buying one.

I'm a Fender man through and through and I was thinking only the other day that the current Fender range, despite it's vast size, bores the living shit out of me. I think they are at the lowest point in 30 years TBH. Appointing U2 to the board and offering fender branded wine at Xmas just cements this.

Really?

I'd love a strat with a PRS scale length!       A reverse head strat with a neck like my cu24 would be perfect

from the reviews i've heard the new Gibsons are superb

Gibson have been offering models that nobody wanted for over half a century. The Flying V tanked when it came out.

The suggestion Gibson and Fender are, or might copy PRS is pretty funny.  Aren't most PRS guitars pretty much the lovechild of a Gibson and Fender?
