Kyler Loves SGs Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I played one of these at Guitar Center and was amazed, this is not only the most versatile SG I've ever played, this is the most versatile guitar I've ever played, and that's coming from a guy with a Custom Strat. The only finish it comes in is Vintage Cherry :P (I wanted an ebony one) but I guess that's alright, I think it has Coil-Splitting Burtbucker Pros in it too so you know that it sounds amazing. I'd recommend this, this will be my first authentic Gibson and my first guitar priced at over $450 (this one's only $100 more than the Standard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waited for the Christmas Sale at GC so I could get 15% off on my Les Paul Classic Custom. Paying $1600.00 for that guitar was worth waiting for...

Kyler Loves SGs Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks for the product info Those are actually different guitars, this one has a 60's slim taper neck and body profile, I also prefer the uncovered burstbucker pros to the covered burstbuckers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyler Loves SGs Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 I love that vintage cherry color. These statements always make me laugh. Versatile and Strat in the same sentence. I find my strat very versatile, of course I have a Hot Rails in the bridge, a stock pickup in the middle, and a vintage noiseless pickup in the neck so changing pickups does give me several different sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff-7 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I use a 2010 model, 60's neck and BB2&3's with coil split and an ebony board. Pups are covered though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyler Loves SGs Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Different sounds? You mean like ouchie, thin, bad, and worse? No I actually do like my strat, it is all opinion though so it shouldn't be a problem to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, this is actually a different guitar, it has burstbucker pros but other than that there really aren't any differences besides finish options and who sells it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yeah finish and pickups are the only differences, this was a GC only run. Not sure if the one you posted is pcb or uses wired controls like mine. Edit: try and find a good rep who you can haggle a bit with, hang tag was $1399 and I was able to walk out the door with it for a grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anaconda Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Those are actually different guitars, this one has a 60's slim taper neck and body profile, I also prefer the uncovered burstbucker pros to the covered burstbuckers ok mine has the 60's slim profile neck. the siver burst. also the white was avail in the 60's neck along with the 61 reissues witch is alot more money. i went to see if i could find one you were looking at. and i did. it has the 50 proflile neck not the 60's and they dont have burstbucker pro's in them they have coil taped 498 and 490 pickups. i ask the manager was this guitar avable as a exclusive in a 60's neck. and burst bucker pros, he looked it up on the computer. hears what it said. all of the sg that had the open pickups/no covers. are avail in aged cherry.cream, and 2 burst colors all with standard sg necks/50' style. no 60's taper necks were aval or made on those models. and no burst bucker pros, I was suppriesed myself. if i was you i and was going to buy it i would go to the store and have them show you were it says it has the 60's neck. and burst buckerpro's Its no supries some of these guys at guitar center dont have a clue what they are talking about; well i tried it out and it played good as good as a sg standard. but it did not have the feel of a 60's neck. thats not a bad thing. i find that the sg standards neck is slim enought and it might have more sustain than a 60' neck. i cant find it on the guitar center site right at the moment but theres a link below to it at musians friend. also i have 2 catologs from guitar center and there is no mention of a 60's neck profile in the discription. i own a sg and a les paul with coil taps and burst bucker's both guitar center excusives. and i also own a strat. the coil taps dont even come close to a strat in sound in my opion. maybe a tele. just play a few more and do some research to find what right for you best wishes with your gibson quest http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/gibson-sg-standard-electric-guitar-with-coil-splitting-humbucker-pickups/h78103000001000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyler Loves SGs Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 well i tried it out and it played good as good as a sg standard. but it did not have the feel of a 60's neck. thats not a bad thing. i find that the sg standards neck is slim enought and it might have more sustain than a 60' neck. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/gibson-sg-standard-electric-guitar-with-coil-splitting-humbucker-pickups/h78103000001000 Oh wow those GC guys were way off, still I loved the sound and feel and today I played the one with the 60's profile and did prefer the 50's profile, here is the link on guitar center http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibson-SG-Standard-Electric-Guitar-with-Coil-Splitting-Humbucker-Pickups-H78103-i2181310.gc it's a platinum guitar so it's harder to find on the website.

SlashPerryBurst Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 That silverburst is a beautiful guitar. I know, but it's not for everyone. A local music store was selling a brand new silverburst Gibson LPC for half the usual price. I asked them why and they said they'd had it for months and wanted rid of it. I didn't have the money at the time. I even asked a friend to buy it and told him I would let him keep it until I'd paid every penny back. That same store does that occasionally. I saw a prs 22 in a nice copper finish sell for half the usual price. Again, I didn't have the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
