VA_siCkBoy Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Anyone seen this? It is a Sweetwater "exclusive". Not sure if I like the looks of it. I wonder how it sounds with the 57 classic's? http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LP60SBSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 The thing I don't like about it is the outer black ring around the bottom of the guitar. It's too thin and all four knobs are in the silver area. I do like this one better than that other SB without the teardrop. Speaking of SBs...

DoubleSixx Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 The black isn't diffused, not much of a gradient just really sharp outline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cvansickle Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 The rosewood board clashes with the black and silver, IMO. Ebony works better. It probably plays and sounds great, but if I'm going for a flashy finish like Silverburst, then the looks matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MI_Canuck Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 There's the Silverburst Robot LP too... Different burst pattern though... and it's doesn't have the binding being a 'Studio' based design... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MI_Canuck Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Speaking of SBs... Now THAT is a nice Silverburst! Immediately brings to mind Adam Jones of Tool... (he owns I believe 5 original LP SB's (from '78-'82 range... the ones that turn green... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadCase Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Anyone seen this? Not sure if I like the looks of it. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LP60SBSE The thing is......... Silverburst is for Customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjimdom Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I thought it was a bit strange that Sweetwater had so many silverbursts. Looks like the GOTW classic custom silverburst to me. Seeems Gibson is fishing much like a new company would to see what takes and what doesn't. They should already know... is Gibson getting a bit insecure??
