Yeah saw the black and white and that one would be the choice if I was forced to buy one....mikeymike wrote:I saw that just recently and I would love to try one out. It is birch and it is all pressed together and I bet it would sound interesting. The colors are kind of another story. I think the least ugly is black and white and the black and natural.

Wow. I just picked up a new Martin OM-1, the neck is made of a birch laminate... I can't personally tell a tonal difference from a mahogany neck, and the stuff is probably more stable too. The whole body though... I dunno. The rainbow colored one looks like Clapton's Fool SG vomited on it.

the top one looks like some kinda weapon straight outta the movie Tron...Gibson has taken a sh*t in the last 20yrs or so...hell some of those Chinese copies on ioffer.com look and play better than the "real" deal...I quit supporting those money suckers a loooong time ago...Orville is rolling in his grave!!!!!

Well, we know what Gibson's R and D department has been doing lately huh...Drdos wrote:AhhhAhhAhaaaaaaaaa! WTF? Actually the pretty light colored rainbow one matches an LSD nightmare I had once!
Actually I just saw that these things have the 500T pickups. That's probably one of Gibson's only pickups I want to try.

Actually Gibson pickups are all pretty decent. The Burstbuckers are amoung my favs (a BB1 and 500T is one of my fav combos) and I still stand by the P94 as the best P90 humbucker sized replacement.CD9266 wrote:Well, we know what Gibson's R and D department has been doing lately huh...Drdos wrote:AhhhAhhAhaaaaaaaaa!

I actually really like the look of the black and red one, and even the rainbow one doesn't look awful. I'm not sure what to think of the laminate body, but like AndyC said it's probably actually more durable than normal. I'd have to play one to see if the sound and sustain felt right, but if I was looking to buy a new SG I'd be interested to try one out.
