GuitarsAnn Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Any new info out there on the 60th Anniversary SGs? I see the cheaper SGs and the 64 SG with the new style vibrola. I'm interested in the 61 with the sideways vibrola, but not the cheaper version. I was under the impression a better Custom Shop version was going to be offered.

Docpiper Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I am interested in this as well. Born in 61, so makes the perfect birthday present this year. Hope it won’t break the bank. Any updated info will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Heck, I bought a 25th Anniversary Les Paul at Manny's Music not too long ago (or so it seems). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 And the 3 pick up white SG... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) 3 minutes ago, SteveFord said: And the 3 pick up white SG... You should go for the J-45 12'er. Electrics still give me a b0ner, I just don't play em. There are 2 out of the 3 and the J-40 make 3 Of A Perfect Pair. You deserve a J-40, 345 and a 3 pup SG. You have been through the ringer.

SteveFord Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I'll have to check with my bank account. My guess is that Gibson will price those two guitars way out of my range, even on the used market a few years down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarsAnn Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 I'm hoping the price will be similar to the other Custom Shop SGs unless they add for being an Anniversary model. I only paid about $1500 for my 50th Anniversary SG12, but that was 10 years ago. I do hope they silkscreen the 60th Anniversary on the headstock. I have to have the Cherry Red. I oggled one back in 1963. My parents popped for the SG Jr back then. Unfortunately I lost it a while back in hard times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docpiper Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I just saw Mark Agnessi on YouTube with Premier Guitar. He said the white 3 pup will be around $6500. Ouch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 In that case, I'd better order a dozen of them before they all sell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Hmmmm, my 10 year old Limited Edition 50th Anniversary 61 SG Special is an Epiphone. It is such a screamer, I could never bare to part with it. 🙂 As compared to the Gibson 61 SG with the Sideways Vibrola, my StetsBar actually works like a real Vibrato with lots of dive and accurate return.... Note: My StetsBar mounts using the existing bridge hardware with no additional screws or routing.

SteveFord Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 For the price of that one 3 pick up SG with a little hunting around you could get a new or open box: Firebird V Les Paul Standard and an ES-335.

Docpiper Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 At that price maybe I should wait a year or two for the Epiphone version to be released. It won’t be my 60th birthday, but $6500 or more is steep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
