    Default What do you think about?

    Gibson's new SG's with the blade style single coils?

    http://www.music123.com/Gibson-SG-3-...20142.Music123

    Has anyone played one, and do you feel it goes against the grain for a Gibson?

    I personally would like it in a collection that and the one with three buckers & is worn/badass looking!


    Thoughts fellow fretters?

    I was wondering about the SSS SG myself. I don't know, it's cearly designed to attract some Strat hard-liners: three single coils, double cutaway body, three color sunburst, white pg, even the price suggests the same.

    Anyway, I'm sure it's a great guitar, though I've never tried one. Frankly, if I was in the market for an SG, I'd just go for a standard (HH), and pay the extra buck for it. Again, just a prognosis/opinion, but I don't see the SSS SGs becoming a great hit in the market.

    The faded 3 pick-up one looks hot, though!:

    I'll definitely have to play one when I encounter it. However, if I buy another SG it will have P90's in it.

    Does it look like the Finish on that red SG has a worn finish or paint? Either way I like it. BUT my next guitar is either a faded 3 bucker SG or Epi. Les Paul Ultra.


    I like em all and wish I had some serious cash.

    none taken. To my eyes it looked like the paint underneath or with the finish was a little worn off. I agree its probably the best looking out of the ones we viewed above.
