sgphoenix211 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I was wondering whether I should get a Gibson SG Special Faded or an Gibson Sg Special Raw Power I would be getting it from the Guitar Center in Boise, Idaho. Please answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilpanda Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 It's whatever you preffer. Sound, weight, feel, they may be similar, but we can only give you opinions. Try them both out and see which one YOU like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgphoenix211 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Which one do you like more personally? @ net14t I like th raw power more but the price is a bit too high for my budget btw how much is the raw power @ the guitar center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincentw Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 The raw power will be brighter...faded will be warmer. maybe this will help you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feldkeen4 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I think you should go with the special faded. It just seems to be a proven quantity. People are really sold on them as a viable well crafted inexpensive quality Gibson product. Of course it is a personal thing so my opinion means nothing.

damian Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 The raw power will be brighter...faded will be warmer. maybe this will help you decide. Â That'a a good sumation; If you want that Pete Live at Leeds sound, go with the raw power ( see net14's thread ), if you want a traditional SG sound, go faded.... Â I'd choose the Raw Power, as I have enough humbucker geeatars (30+) and not enough P-90 geetars............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 @ feldkeen4 I think i'll get the faded but should I get worn brown or worn cherry  Faded SG Classic: P90s and the faded finish. I like worn cherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG FAN Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Twang is for Telecasters, IMO. I don't care for maple SGs, personally. But if that's your thing, go for it. My vote goes for the faded Special or possibly the faded Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff-7 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Always wanted to try one Guitarest but I've never seen one in person. I remember blackie adding the 8 ball to his and summarily destroying it in a drunken fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
