norcalpiper Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Initial lineup has been released and what a great year it will be for SGs!! The color palette for the HP Standards are great with a really modern look that finally works. The mini humbucker models are back and the natural finish one looks stellar!! What do ya'll think?

poopcicle Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I am obsessive about Sg's and looking to pick up one with the 490 pups to round out my herd! I don't have a special faded yet and am liking the Bourbon finish but just can't stop thinking I wish I could get it in that Natural satin...... damn I am kinda of particular (anal retentive) and always endeavor to not have two Sg's with the same finish... lol , I know crazy so this makes me want to sell my Ebony special with mini buckers and pick up the Natural version! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerad12 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 That SG special in natural got my attention right away. Love the mini humbuckers too. Might "need" one of those!! Autumn Shade standard is a looker too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darling67 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Guitar Center's got a very cool Youtube video on their Gibson 2018 landing page.... VERY sonically informative when trying to decide on/differentiate between the three SG models. I do believe I still like the Special, with the mini humbuckers, the best!

darling67 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I was at Guitar Center yesterday, buying a cheap acoustic guitar for just banging around on... … and right beside the Yamaha that I eventually bought, on the "new inventory rack", was a natural finish 2018 SG Special with the mini humbuckers!!!!! It was all I could do to resist buying it on the spot! Gorgeous guitar. I will be getting one eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
