on 11/06/2009 		You could have carved a pumpkin and perhaps Gibson would agree that the Al-355(inspired by Alex Lifeson) 2007 volute was a painstaking recreation of the original from the 1970's.

The white neck is the AL-355, the other is a '70s 355, used for reference. Am I the only one who thinks this volute could be carved better by a pumpkin maker than
the luthiers who worked on this guitar.
Gibson claims Alex wanted that neck, and it is not a defect.

on 10/31/2009 		IMO, I would have gone with the Les Paul pumpkin. Having carved a few of these in the past (thank goodness the kids are grown), the level of difficulty and detail surpass all of these great exhibits. Peter Criss would have been my second choice and is definitely a great carving. What would my carving have been? A true horror story of course...A Gibson Authentic Jimi Hendrix guitar of course! Truly a trick or treater! I would have to follow it with a Frankenstein guitar, naturally.
