Gibson seems to be on a funny trip.  Bumble bee microphones, guitar-coloured monitors...
 
It's all pretty gawdy to me and I don't see the point.
 
 

Me too.
I don't like that sort of marketing as it's all about beauty before function. 
That's a pretty steep price for what is most likely made in China from off the shelf components. 
But they must know what they are doing with this latest tread in marketing. 
Guitars have always sold on the beauty before function model so why not gear. 
It's a shame as now even more home studios will be wondering why their mixes don't translate to the real world. 
 
Look at all these new amps on the market that look like they were built in the 60's. 
Take them apart and the guts will all be the same as the ones that look like they were made in the 90's. 

Don't see the problem myself. Not a finish I'd necessarily go for, but certainly different.

As for the monitors themselves only hearing them can really determine if they're value for money or not.

Yuk... It will be Les Paul contraceptives next...

And the price....WOW...they must build these from real Les Pauls!

I'll stick with Durex :)

Gibson owns KRK, so they are probably made by KRK.

It seems Gibson is going the Harley-Davidson route. 
Stick the name and logo on anything and everything ... The Marshall refrigerator would sell more with a Gibby worked into it somehow, I'm sure.
