ics1974 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 If there was one I would love to buy it. I was watching a AC/DC concert and Angus was playing a black one. This would be my dream guitar. It's too bad it only comes in red these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Pup Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 From time to time Gibson offers the SG '61 RI in variuos colors and some dealers will have exclusive colors too. A couple of years ago Gibson offered the '61 SG in white and black finishes as part of the "Guitar of the Week" series. You may still be able to find one from an internet dealer or ebay. You could also ask you local Gibson dealer about ordering one in black for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrench87 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 i just bought a ebony black 61 reissue, it is a 2007 guitar of the week (week6} limited editon only 400 made the only issue is it has gold hardware. i thought it was cool because they only come in cherry. i am starting to get use to the gold but may switch to nickel some day. i bought mine at a vintage guitar shop i paid 1400.00 it looks brand new but some one switched out the bridge pick up to a 498t and put gold metal pick up rings on it, i went to a 57 classic plus bridge pick up and new gibson black plastic rings and new strings so now i am into it for another 145.00.

When I saw the question above I thought of this GOTW as well. But generally speaking black is more commonly found on the standards, not the reissue. Unless of course as mentioned above if it was a special order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston004681 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 'Cause it only came in cherry in 1961. (???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ics1974 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 I hope they reissue the black ones again but without the gold hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPDEN Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Not to hiojack this one, but I would LOVE to get my hands on a mid 60's ('65?) Pelham Blue.... But they go for what, $16k+ in the vintage market?? Were there any Pelham Blue Reissues? I have to go look as I haven't made the effort to look yet.
