badbluesplayer Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 So the new 2013 SG Standards are spec'd out the way I always wanted. Yummy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krock Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I was looking at this guitar a few weeks ago and found this old thread from last year about it http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/94212-2013-gibson-sg-standards/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 From the front it looks like they used the '61 neck joint uh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Looking at the link by krock I see the neck joint concern has been discussed. I have a 50th anniversary 24-fret SG, same thing, small guard, '57s but it has the beefier neck joint. I love the guitar and it sound but the slim neck is rounded rather then the flatter profile find on other slim neckd SGs, not too crazy about the neck profile but it is not too bad either.

pippy Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Another vote for the small-guard look. The bevels look pretty sharp, too! All-in-all I think this will be a winner. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoreyT Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 There is a good thread by Charlie on these in the SG section. Basically the same as my 2012 Reissue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 wut If they release these in pelham blue or tv yellow I'll start saving. So these are going to be the normal standard now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreyT Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yep, these are the 2013 Standard, and I think they are cheaper in price for what I paid for my '61 Reissue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I've said it before.... It's about TIME! Been waiting for Gibson, to get back to "Real" SG's, for decades! Just look at those lovely, wide, body and deep "scoup" bevels (between the horns and neck) and...that lovely horn tapering, too. FINALLY! Now, if they'll just continue that trend, throughout the entire SG line, all will be good, again! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy60 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 So the new 2013 SG Standards are spec'd out the way I always wanted. Yummy!! new sg standard looks good. if only gibson put an armrest bevel like that on the axcess.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 If they release these in pelham blue or tv yellow I'll start saving. Thisssss. $600 just for the addition of a lyre though? (Talking Standard vs "Original") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thisssss. $600 just for the addition of a lyre though? (Talking Standard vs "Original") Is THAT what they want, for adding a Lyre/Maestro? Good Lord! It used to be only 10-15 percent, additional charge, regardless of what model guitar you wanted one on. IF that's true, it's ridiculous=insane!! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub, the "Jeff Tweedy" model is in Pelham Blue...it's basically the same, except they left the back of the neck "natural." http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/SG/Gibson-USA/Jeff-Tweedy-Signature-SG.aspx CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
