why do they not make the classic?

[sellen]

in my mind the gibson usa sg line up should always have 1. the low budget special 2. the classic 3. the standard 4. the 61 reissue 5. something for the metal guys 6. and something fancy now and then. there are not many classic on eBay, found just one( 690$ 2001 model). guess it's a great guitar. let's start a campaign for the classic[biggrin] sign up!!!!!( yeah yeah why not you m.... f....s) blah blah im drunk[cool]

Unless I'm mistaken, the SG Classic is a Guitar Center-family exclusive. They make it for a few months, ship them to Guitar Center, and don't make any more until they get another order.

 

$1000 for a used one is quite high, for an American store. They sell for that new, the only difference being the hardshell case.

 

 

Personally, I think the SG line should follow this:

 

SG Junior - single P-90

SG Special - dual P-90

SG Studio - dual humbucker (what is currently called the SG Special)

SG Standard

SG Standard 1961 Reissue

 

I don't care if the Junior and Special have half or full pickguards... I'd prefer half, but I'll settle.

I like that suggestion!

 

Also, add more usable stuff to the parts dept!

Sell hardwear "dress kits", like the Platinum kit or the Goth kit etc.....and why did the TP-6 triple in price???

 

I paid an insaine amount on ebay for the hardware and pickguards from a Platinum SG because I wanted the satin hardware and platinum knobs.

Yes.

Guitar Center, Musicians Friend, & Music 123 I believe.

That's the thing with exclusives, sometimes the price for a used one is what they sold for new, only problem is they were in fact limited to those retailers and are harder to finnd used than regular models sold through all retailers.

When they're rare, or hard to find, they can ask for more.

Dont forget the Vibrola option!!
