darling67 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Well, I know what I am going to be pining over, but unable to purchase, all this coming year… http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/gibson-2016-sg-standard-with-p-90-t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 That is indeed a gorgeous SG. I wish I could afford (or had any room for) one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg50 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It's a fine looking SG. It really is, and I'm stoked to play one. If it were available in that butterscotch color from the other year, I'd be $1000 lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were available in that butterscotch color from the other year, I'd be $1000 lighter. Haha! Yeah.... those "60's Tribute P90" models with the dot necks and half pick guards? Those were cool. I think this one is a better instrument, actually. Had it not been discontinued some years ago, I'd have bought one of those instead of my '50s Tribute SG in 2013. But, next year is a looong year! There'll be plenty of time to fall prey to an impulse buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 That's a classic there. Don't know why that didn't happen a long time ago. You CAN'T go wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be plenty of time to fall prey to an impulse buy! No doubt this is a nicer model. The model I was talking about wasn't a tribute though, it was the 2014 Special. It came in a butterscotch color that was groovy. But it had 490 humbuckers. And yes, this model will be staring me in the face all year. My Casino has P90s, but I'd love to have some in a solid body.

Oh, oh oh! I know the one. Ok, I was thinking of the model that was available for like between 2011 and 2013... with the P90s and dot neck, no binding. Fairly bare-bones but still cool. Yeah, the Butterscotch finish... it was nice. I was considering getting one of those, but decided against it in the end. I am going to predict that I order one of these new P90 SG's... I know myself all too well, and I can't resist—especially with deal I get at work. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 So it's an SG Classic with trapezoid inlays? Call it a trout, they are still killer guitars. I've had a 2008 Classic for years and I cannot think of another guitar bumping her from the #1 spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGibson Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I have been coveting a standard with P90s, oh....and the price is right. So now to find a way to come up with some cash to buy one. The only bummer is a gig bag and not a hard case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up buying an Epiphone SG case for my '50s Tribute. Does the job... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StRanger7032 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Oh, no! I want one, but I just ordered a 2016 Firebird. This could be an expensive year. I've been craving some P-90s recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darling67 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Since my original post... where I foolishly proclaimed that I'd be, "unable to purchase..."… I can feel it... I am going to own one very soon. Some birthday $$$, together with a couple of other forms of payment not coming out of my pocket, are making it just a matter of time. Stay tuned... standard tuning is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
