pohatu771 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I've seen the Gibson version in person... if it didn't have that bullseye finish, it might be an all right-looking guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney1566 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I think it is one of the freshest guitars Gibson has put out recently. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Doesn't compare to the Reverse Flying V. People paid BIG $$$$$$$$ for them when they first came out!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiz Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Sorry, I hate it. I love the SG. I love the Flying V. Combine the two, and you have the electric guitar equivalent of the Spork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:oilpit: Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I don't like SG, I do like Vs... I REALLY hate when they are combined.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LT ED Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Even gibson from time to time come up with some terrible designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Imagine what people thought when the original V and Explorer came out in '58. I can imagine any solid body at that time still was looked at as new and weird and not a 'real' guitar, even though they had been available on a large scale for nearly a decade.... and the Telecaster would seem very tame by comparison, and the LP downright traditional! Since I seldom buy brand new guitars, I am in no position to even voice an opinion on what Gibson should be building (or not) but I applaud Gibson for being weird with some of their designs. Some of them just make me roll my eyes, but I'm glad they're out there. 25 years ago I saw the Corvus and almost gagged. In late '84 Elderly Instruments was peddling them brand new for under $200 just to get rid of them. Now they're collectible (witness ebay prices). Les Paul himself wanted nothing to do with the SG style and I think it's like the biggest selling Gbson of all time. I guess one good thing about that SG/V thing is that it's less likely to slide off your thigh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
