Rabs Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (and before anyone says it, im not including the Firebird X ) :) I was having a look around as I do and found this SG.. Ok the looks are love or hate.. But whats really weird is the way its built with multiple birch wood laminate pieces. Thats gotta be unique in itself for a Gibby.. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/SG/Gibson-USA/SG-Zoot-Suit.aspx Then I saw this video of it.. Achh that sounds aweful lol... The bit about how its built is interesting though (at 1:43) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_mqP8nkndI So I take it they didnt go down very well then :P :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiz Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I thought the black/gray one was ok. But yea, they're pretty ugly. I like the clear pickups though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 ... So I take it they didnt go down very well then :P :) Some people like 'em. They do sell. Personally they don't move my GAS meter. They came out like three years ago or so (2009?) and they took quite a beating around here. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quapman Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 So they claim "proprietary glue" is what allows this to sustain? I'm not really buyin it. It sounds as good as it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I totally want the rainbow one. I don't understand the part that's not awesome about the way it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I do like the gray one and the gray/yellow one isn't far behind IMO. Makes a change from my normal diet. I'd happily take a gray one and put nickel covers on the p-ups. Then, of course, it would look 100% traditional.... Sound-wise? As has been said many times; when the drummer kicks in.............. If they were so unpopular that might mean they can be had at bargain-basement prices, huh? P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboyBillyBob1 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 You really can't tell how it sounds using that Epiphone amp. I do like those clear top hat knobs. I wonder if you can get them somewhere. As far as the looks... well you will stand out in a crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Let's put it this way: If this SG "laminated wood" is made with half the quality of similar epoxy laminated wood rifle stocks, you could use it as a battle axe if you didn't care for the additional sustain - and it ain't gonna have problems with weather, either, except perhaps on the electronics and metal parts if left out in a hurricane or dropped into the sea for some extended time period. Try to claim that with about any other "wood" musical instrument. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I think they are *****en'! I would love to have one. The ugliest Gibson has to be The Moderne, now those are butt-U-gly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
