I am not pleased with this development...

[MelodyMaker1]

No more Epiphone/Gibson vs Fender. Say what!!!!

[vomer]

When Fender put humbuckers on the '72 Thinline Telecaster they produced, imho, one of their very best guitars. Somehow I don't think Gibson are going to pull off the same trick in reverse... single coils on a Gibby? P90's maybe...

Argh! No this is terrible!

 

Wait a minute, why? This seems like a pretty cool idea! Sure, it's different and unexpected, but people seem to like Strats with three single coils, so why not an SG with three single coils? Personally, I can't wait to find out more about this guitar...

Yeah I know but it was the first time I had seen it and I imagine the first time that many others here have.

Then I'd have to imagine they didn't sell like hotcakes , if it's been 9 months, now .... are they even still available ?? Don't want one, just wonderin' ........... I'm saving my $0.01s for a Wildkat, someday, oneday...

They are still available from the german internet dealer Thomann.de. Black and natural still available if I recall correctly.

 

Just not what people are looking for when they buy an SG i suppose.

That tells you how successful it was, or should I say wasn't.
