Ouch... forgot about that. Aren't they doing away with those? Didn't they get that cleared up? Ah, just checked: MF still has it listed as a Rosewood Board...

I have had two guitars (both LP's) with the baked maple board that I had to send back this past year. Apparently the fretboard was not baked long enough because it shrunk relative to the neck. In such a way that you could feel it as you ran your hand up and down the neck. It was BAAAAAAAD!!!!!!! I wish I were exaggerating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I were exaggerating. Could be the fret ends needed trimmed/dressed. I had that on a Faded Flying V that I had years ago and (stupidly) sold.

Members Guvnor Posted November 17, 2012 Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 SO, MF has it listed with Rosewood, Sam Ash says baked maple... Wonder if MF sent back all their baked maples when the injunction was lifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought an LTD Viper on a stupid deal of the day and the description said ebony fingerboard and bone nut on a $200 guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought, and later sold, an ebony one in maybe 8/10 condition for $750 about 3 years ago. And cherry is usually more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetwater shows the SG Standard as discontinued (?) and with a Rosewood board too. At any rate, it should result in an even deeper discount on the guitar.

Members Robson780 Posted November 17, 2012 Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 Mine is maple... but it looks so much like rosewood I don't even think of it as maple. It looks more like rosewood than some of my guitars that have actual rosewood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mesa/Kramer Posted November 17, 2012 Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 I want to buy the Silverburst and replace the mini-hums with black P90's. OMG and yeah SGs are great live guitars!! I thought you hated the P-90's in that cheap LTD guitar you bought a few months back.The mini hums actually sit somewhere in the middle between p-90's and full HB's.

It's all personal preference so my opinion doesn't mean all that much but to me mini hum are a bad compromise between P90s and full HBs. They seem thin compared to HBs and they seem to lack the bite of a true P90. They're like a lot of those noiseless P90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members greg apocalypse Posted November 17, 2012 Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 is it still dead? the 5150 is my dream amp at the moment. but i'm also living in an apartment. {censored} my life.

Members Guvnor Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 injunction lifted? has gibson started production with rosewood again? Yes, it was all resolved a couple of months ago actually. Hoping that Sam Ash just had some left over stock of the baked maple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Deconstruction Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 I wish all Gibbys came with a volute.I know it really doesn't change anything... i just like them. Doesn't it make the headstock more sturdy? less prone to snapping if you drop it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
