I'm hesitant to post this, due to the excess Gibson hate present, but I believe this is a good Gibson release for Gibson fans to discuss.
I believe this is a beautiful SG with graceful appointments. Did I mention that I find it beautiful? I don't normally care for tortoise guards on guitars, but I find it very pleasing on this model. I'm also fine with the price for this brand new SG. I find it in many ways on the same level as the SG Standard. I even appreciate the use of the small block inlays. I realize that T-Tops are polarizing pickups, but enough people now covet them that it's probably a good move by Gibson to use them on some of the newer offerings. People on this board are likely to change the pickups in this guitar regardless; or in any guitar they purchase for that matter. I know that I do. So I don't usually complain about what stock pickups the manufacturer installs. I have a nice box for them to live in.
I like the direction Gibson has taken with the few new models we've seen the new management team release. There has not been adequate time nor sufficient models released for anyone to pronounce judgement regarding what direction Gibson will ultimately venture. However, if they continue to concentrate on their core model guitars and release updated or even re-issue some favorite USA guitar models, I believe most Gibson customers will be pleased.
It's perfectly acceptable that many of you believe Gibson products to be overpriced refuse, but I would prefer to keep that predilection absent in this thread. Those of us that appreciate Gibson may then have civilized discourse on the matter. Thank you in advance.
