darling67 Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Working on our November catalogue, and a bunch of new images for the Gibson 2017 line just came in… It would be unethical for me to post images of them… but I can say that there's a real sharp-looking Cherry Burst SG Standard coming. I may just have no choice but to grab one at some point!

I may just have no choice but to grab one at some point! Such a tease.....but it sounds like a looker, can't wait until they release some images and details of the solid body line.
Rabs Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Ohh cool.. I will be on the search for them :) Thanks for the heads up... And indeed if you look on the Gibson product page they have a 2017 section that says Coming Soon. By the way.. Any double cuts ?

There are bunch of LP's, some Firebirds, and this SG Standard so far....

Yeah, if they're coming into our data base now, I am sure Gibson will be adding them to their generic "2017" place-holder page soon.
norcalpiper Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 Hmmmmmm.....probably not, but I sent several people at Gibson photoshopped ideas fir a cherry burst and goldtop SG. I never heard back from any of the people I sent them to, but I also made a pretty good case for bringing out some design work as in bursts and such. Anyway-that is great news and I know what SG I'll be buying soon!

Johnny 6 String Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 Beat me too it Bence, saw it this morning on Facebook
darling67 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Posted August 26, 2016 That's a "Les-G"! Intriguing! The new 2017 SG Standard is a different guitar—it's a straight-up SG.
darling67 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Posted August 26, 2016 These are quite a cool design too They are! Kind'a like "Les Paul meets Yamaha SBG 2000"!
darling67 Posted August 27, 2016 Author Posted August 27, 2016 It looks like a Yamaha SG "SG" in Japan... but that didn't fly in the U.S. So, it was called the "SBG" here. ;)
norcalpiper Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I hope there is no black pickguard....easy to correct though.

darling67 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Posted August 30, 2016 I hope there is no black pickguard....easy to correct though. There is a black pick guard.... and it's a half-face—which I prefer. Cherry Burst, Heritage Cherry and Ebony are the finishes.
norcalpiper Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Oh well.....i was REALLY hoping something like this
darling67 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 Oh well.....i was REALLY hoping something like this Well..... you could remove the pick guard, and ADD a black toggle switch "plate", and you'd be close. But I like the price of this new 2017 a lot better than that model's! ;)
PelhamBlueFire Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 There is a black pick guard.... and it's a half-face—which I prefer. Cherry Burst, Heritage Cherry and Ebony are the finishes. Any news on the SG Custom with three pick-ups?
darling67 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Posted September 1, 2016 Any news on the SG Custom with three pick-ups? I've only seen "Gibson USA" models for 2017 thus far. A bunch of Les Pauls.... Classic, Studio, Traditional, etc., a couple cool Firebirds, and the SG Standard.
