sg supreme 2016 vs sg standard 2018

[lolo_guitar]

hi

i wanted to buy the sg supreme because of

 

the 24 frets

fast axcess heel

burstbuckers pro to have a new sound vs my 490R 498t

 

i read they sound very shard so i did not know what it was all about about the bridge pickup too

 

Now, i am seeing the new sg standard

with pure bypass switch ?

coil splits

 

classic 57 and classic 57+

locking tuners too (i hope so)

 

so, which one is the best?

 

i play some blues tones

but i can play fast licks like Gary Moore or John Sykes too

i like harmonics

 

warm tone in the neck position to sound like a LP too

 

so burstbuckers pro vs classic 57's ? imo, something like a classic 57 and the dirty fingers pickup for the bridge position or 500t would have been a good idea

 

nothing's perfect?

 

i can add a floyd rose frx for total versatility too

lolo guitar,

 

Will you have the opportunity to play both guitars, and compare how they sound, feel, and stay in tune?

 

Or is this a mail order proposition?

the sg 2018 hp is a brand new model

so, we must wait for some days before playing with it

 

Gibson said that the sg supreme was the supreme sg so we could think it was the best

but when you look at the sg standard 2018 with 24 frets

 

it's the supreme sg ! Except for the pickups which may not be very intense for high gain settings ?

 

Then, Angus uses this signature pickup with alnico V when the classic 57+ is always made with alnico II = warmer vs brighter tone (bb pro, Angus' signature pickup )

 

and

4 knobs for the Sg 2018 hp vs 2 knobs without any coil split or other for the sg supreme
