yep i remember them. i like the look of them i must admit. Im assuming gibson dont make super strats now because they own kramer. Also they never sold all that well did they?

i like rare guitars that no one knows about. It's nice to find something unique with all the strats and LP's out there.

I found this place on the net

I am always following my Gibson m3 as it seems to go for very erratic prices from a few hundred to a couple of thousand.

They seem worth more in the states?!

Gibson has had their share of "thinking outside the box":
