I just bought a new SG standard and it is the nicest guitar I own. They seem to have got it right this year - previous models I'd picked up over the past few years never quite hit all the right spots but this one did.
I hope they do stop the '20xx Model' - they aren't cars - I like the idea of a consistent performer, it shouldn't matter if the guitar is this year's model or last years.
Sorry - I am such a lurker - first post in ages, thank you.
