neilpanda Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 just received this in the webmail, new 'shred' guitars from gibson! An SG Diablo and a LP Studio both fitted with a floyd rose trem and 'super fast' necks. I like both, but the LP is sporting a Richlite® board which kinda makes me question it OTH the SG looks pretty darn cool IMO, Im digging the look of the floyd on the SG, and the site says its got a "North American Rosewood" fingerboard which is good, looks like theyre figuring stuff out, I just wonder why this isnt an option for the LP <_< Heres the email https://app.e2ma.net/app/view:CampaignPublic/id:4528.12573734335/rid:84138d41ba3190418e78617f0027fe5c SG http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/SG/Gibson-USA/SG-Diablo-Tremolo.aspx LP http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Shred-Les-Paul-Studio.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Call me crazy but I don't think Floyd rose systems look good on Gibson guitars. For me they just look wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesguitar65 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The SG looks like its got baked maple fingerboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShredAstaire Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Perhaps what I should have said can be summed up by the following graphic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I've wanted a Diablo since they came out. Now I really want one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabba2203 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The SG would look a lot better with an Ebony fingerboard. They used a dark wood on the LP, why not the SG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I like the look (and the 'sound') of the Ritchlite 'boards. I've been trying to find a Midtown Custom in London to try one out but the last time I was up (Wed) there were still none in stock at the official dealership. I'd read that Gibson were trying out Rosewood from the USA and it looks like it's finally made it on to the production line. Good news for Henry.
