if they sell out quickly, means that they will eventually turn up on ebay for more than wat it initially sold for

Was checking American Musical, these SG Specials go for $1150 I think it was.

 

[Everdying]

that SG special just says SG for its neck profile...
now if it had a 60s slim taper neck, i'll find a way to get it

 

[co2.5i]

I think the SG profile neck is the same one the standard has.

I agree... some excellent "new" models here from Gibson.

it's also an ingenious way of test marketing appeal and demand. If they sell out quickly, they might even be tempted to do a bigger production run at some later date, perhaps?

I'd imagine that the people who bought the original run of whatever would be repeated would be a bit pissed off with that though.

The Special looks sweet but I wish they had gone with a compensated wraparound bridge instead of the tunematic to set it further apart from the SG Classic.

Seconded.

 

[co2.5i]

And white button tuners would have been nice, even though that would make it MORE like a classic.

That's what I don't understand about Gibson. I got a SG-3. The first 300 or 400(I can't remember) had a special serial #. An inked 'C with a 1 thru 300' meant it was a Cherry and the # represented the production #. Or it had a 'E with a 1 thru 300'. The 'E' meant it was ebony. AS far as I know the GOWs have no special serial# designated them as limited numbered. Go figure. :dontknow:

I think most people prefer the smaller pickguard on customs, that one did nothing for me.

I did however, already order #37. I have to call my dealer back on Tuesday to get a delivery date, but he already secured two from Gibson on Friday at my request.

I like the Custom too, Man I want one? roolin: Anybody willing to donate?

..... I gave at the office............ ;D

i think the full guard on the custom is just incredable. ESPECIALLY when its white, on a dark color. and also, ESPECIALLY with 2 pickups instead of 3
