Gibson 50th Anniversary SG 12-String

Re: Gibson 50th Anniversary SG 12-String

this might probably be a noob question

can u bend strings on a 12 string? *never played one b4
 
Re: Gibson 50th Anniversary SG 12-String

That looks awesome. I bet its insanely neck-heavy though.

You're completely right. SG's are practically balanced on their front strap button. Add a long headstock and twice as many tuners......the neck will likely drop when you let go of it.

Any guitar that has ever done this has been a flop......like the BC Rich Stealth.
 
Re: Gibson 50th Anniversary SG 12-String

i don't get it.
it's like putting a sports exhaust on a truck
 
Re: Gibson 50th Anniversary SG 12-String

I wouldn't go that far

Indeed... besides that I'm not sure if a floyd would even fit in an SG body, it's enough trouble keeping 12 strings in tune as it is.

Then again, I'm not a huge fan of floyds.

Im not sure the exact thickness of an SG, but my WM526 has one and its pretty thin like an SG.

Jollymeister, you score this yet??:naughty: Id love to have one. Always wanted a double neck..
 
Re: Gibson 50th Anniversary SG 12-String

looks cool - agree that their pickup choice is flawed ... have no idea what i'd ever need it for
 
Re: Gibson 50th Anniversary SG 12-String

I love SG's period next to the Firebird it's my second favorite Gibson (guitar wise anyway). And that it's a 12 string just won major flair and mojo points !
 
Re: Gibson 50th Anniversary SG 12-String

Ya know, my only issue with the 12 string SG is that the SG has one of the weakest neck joints ever on a Gibson...I just see a lot of those getting broken...

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I don't recall this being a problem on the 1275. Why would this be any different?:scratchch
 
Re: Gibson 50th Anniversary SG 12-String

It's lighter than this.

Re: Gibson 50th Anniversary SG 12-String

Ah, I forgot that the neck joint is much deeper, on the 1275.
