Gibson has taken a classic musical instrument and shrunk it down to be a…portable storage solution? A 1959 Les Paul Standard was chosen to kick off Gibson’s Signature Series flash drives, and I guess it’s a good choice as it is truly a classic - but did we really need a mini-guitar USB drive?

I do like how there is a mini case, and how the USB cable plugs into the bottom of the drive, just as a 1/4″ cable would on a real guitar. What I don’t like is that we all already have too many USB key drives.

Stats:
-1GB of storage capacity
-USB 2.0 transfer rates (480Mbps)
-Data retention up to 9 years
-LED indicator
-Waste of money
