Apothecurious Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Hey Guys. I just bought my first Gibson. I have pretty much defected from other guitars that I used to play (Ibanez, ESP, Fender, etc.) This guitar is hands down one of the best I have ever played. I finally decided to take the plunge into a Gibson when I saw they had recently lowered the prices on their SG line. (Got mine for $1200, not too bad if you ask me). All this talk of poor Gibson quality control seems to have not affected this guitar at all. Absolutely perfect! Sounds great too. I'm currently playing this through my Orange Tiny Terror (into a Marshall 1936 2x12). Its a nice getaway from my Ibby RG2610 into my Peavey 6505. By far my favorite part of it right now is the fretwork. I don't think I have ever played a guitar with frets as great as these. I also love how the binding comes over the edges of the frets... it adds a nice touch. I will definitely be sticking w/ Gibson for a while. :) =D> I wouldn't do this w/o pics. OMG Jizz In My Pants
GuitarJunkie Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Is there anything better than New Guitar Day? Oh yeah... Your next New Guitar Day. Gibsons are like potato chips, so look out. Welcome, and nice axe.

GuitarJunkie Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 If you're going to go cherry, get one with P90s. Gibson SG Classic
Apothecurious Posted June 4, 2009 Author Posted June 4, 2009 If you're going to go cherry' date=' get one with P90s. Gibson SG Classic I just played one of those at my local music store last week. I have never really had much experience w/ P-90s before. Plus the fretwork on it didn't seem nearly as nice as that on my standard for some reason (a dud?). I'll still look into it.. everything else about the guitar was fantastic
Boston004681 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 It's beautiful... but how can you live with ebony... I need my ******* Cherry Red! W00T! They finally put good handles on 'em? Mine squeaks!

Nick Beach Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Yea that's what I'm kinda worried about.

GuitarJunkie Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 sex with new girlfriend day' date=' dumping old girlfriend day[/quote']I imagine it's no coincidence that "dumping old girlfriend day" comes after "sex with new girlfriend day".
Apothecurious Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 They're kinda like tattoos' date=' one usually leads to another.[/quote'] Exact same thing happened to me too. I got one about a year and a half ago. Now I have seven. :-
