Members cbh5150 Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 Holy CRAP! No wonder Gibby done blowed out a bunch of stuff - they got a manure pile of new stuff coming in (oh, and robots are back...sorta...):http://www.sweetwater.com/store/sear...=s:gibson_2013etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cbh5150 Posted November 18, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 Yeah, the SG Standards were bumped up $100 to $1299, but they now have '57 Classics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaVenCAD Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 Looks a lot like "more of the same" to me. Gibson is either stuck with the tried and true, or they go ape-{censored} and make some weird, ridiculous thing no one would ever want. I guess "more of the same" is their best bet.

Members peskypesky Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 why the pickguard hate by Gibson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sk8centilli Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 Wow. Those are some interesting options. Granadillo is still coming on the Studio while the cheapie "J" models have rosewood. Steinberger tuners on the Future models and Min-ETune on Tributes (supposedly on forthcoming Epiphones, too).

Members billythegoat Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 Why proof reading is good.On the retro side, the 2013 Gibson SG Tribute Future starts off with a traditional 24-fret fingerboard, a lightweight mahogany body, and a set of '57 Classic pickups that give you timeless PAF humbucker tone. But that's where SG convention breaks off. For instance, the SG Tribute Future's bridge pickup is actually a '57 Classic Plus, which provides you with a much spicier, hot-rodded humbucker sound that's more suitable for modern aggressive playing styles. An asymmetrical '60s neck carve also bridges the gay between traditional high-speed slimness and modern versatility. And wait till you get a load of these funky 40:1 Steinberger Gearless Tuners. Are you ready for something different? Get your Gibson SG Tribute Future from Sweetwater! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jpnyc Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 I feel a lot better about the 70s Tribute Goldtop Studio I just bought for $509 seeing that the 2013 Goldtop Studio is 1549 and the 2013 70s Tribute Goldtop is $1349. Binding is pricey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mesa/Kramer Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 $1,399$699!Pickups look like EMG's but they are only black covers (498/490's)$1,199 (with auto tune)Looks like Gibson has a Peavey like auto tunning set up now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members w00dsy Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 i'm digging the gritty look of this one, the price is kinda nice too. Not sure the pickups would be great but a swap is easy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they are good pickups. It could have almost done with black bridge as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember seeing a decent pick guard on any Gibson. It shouldn't be hard to do but maybe they just figured it was best to leave it off and same a few bucks on each guitar.

At least they don't have the stupid giant pickguard Gibsons have had for years. Even the Epis had batwing guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ancient Mariner Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 How are these any different from everything that's been made for the last 50 years? I really must sell my last-years-finish Les Paul and SG so I can have this-years-finish? Nuts to that. As for the creosote-finish Lester, just astonishing.

If you NEED a pick guard, you haven't learned how to pick, and you should practice. If you don't, then pick guards are cosmetic, and ALWAYS ugly. If the pick guard can be removed, you're in luck. If it can't (because all the electronics are mounted to it), you have a poorly designed guitar and you should burn it immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, the "telecasters, stratocasters, les pauls, SGs, ES-335s and all other well known popular electric guitars, as well as D-28s and most known acoustic guitars, are terrible and you're an idiot of you like any of them" argument.

Members docjeffrey Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 The new SG does away with the stubby neck and baked maple fiasco. 57's are much better than the shouty 490 series, and the small guard looks killer. I'd say that those changes are significant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
