Members Help!I'maRock! Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 i wonder how the bakes maple changes the tone of the instrument, if at all, compared to rosewood and ebony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maess Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 I'm sure the baked maple is because of their issues with Rosewood. My fear is that 'baked maple' means maple chips that have been bound together with polymer and then baked, kind like MDF. Anyone have any idea how they make this 'baked maple'?

Members fw190 Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 Nice. Looks like Gibson has found something reasonable to do with that Raw Power idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hubert Stumblin Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 Beautiful! And I actually LIKE that the back is black. Cool contrast from front to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Frank555 Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 Bursts look sweet on SGs. I kinda prefer maple to rosewood for fingerboards-less fizz and sizzle w/ maple when using distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Fahrenheit Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 Dude, that would look SO slick with a white/cream pickguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I was told that they call it baked maple because of the process that is used to make the much lighter colored maple look closer to rosewood..... it should play and feel for all intensive purposes like a nice maple fretboard found on any other guitar.

Members Critical Ninja Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 Glad they brought the sunburst color back, it's definitely one of the nicer SG finishes...however, that "baked maple" fretboard just looks awful IMO. I'm still GAS-ing for the Pelham Blue SG Standard that's at samash.com and it will most likely be my next guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members victor2k Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 the baked maple thing, its not baked enough to look good,. but maple is also a very hard wood so its a good wood for necks,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Malcolm Ramone Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 I like it, though I am partial to any SG's with uncommon finishes!-Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Critical Ninja Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 Anyone else notice how the new Gibson Classic Custom looks a lot like all of those Chinese LP knock-offs you see all over eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
