Members BAXANDALL Posted April 21, 2009 Members Share Posted April 21, 2009 Its not a 'Real' guitar though is it? Hehehe. But, the poster only said Gibson's and not Gibson guitars... Touche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fusion1 Posted April 21, 2009 Members Share Posted April 21, 2009 Looks interesting. I like Maple fretboards, AND I like SGs, but not sure it would work as a winning combo on an SG. Not a big fan of the batwing pickguard, I like the classic '62 style small pickguard or the SG Jr style. As a side note, anyone have an idea of what's underneath a batwing pickguard? Could you just add mounting rings and call it a day or is there a huge gaping swimming pool under that pickguard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted April 21, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 21, 2009 Overall, maple isn't heavier than than mahogany. Mahogany varies much more depending on varieties and moisture. In some cases maple is actually lighter. You don't handle much mahogany or maple I guess? Even generously maple is about 150kg per cubic metre heavier than mahogany, and rock maple is nigh on 200kg per cubic metre heavier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alex9152 Posted April 21, 2009 Members Share Posted April 21, 2009 I like this one too. Is it me or is the pickguard translucent? I would rather have black dots over these inlays on all of the Raw Power models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fusion1 Posted April 21, 2009 Members Share Posted April 21, 2009 Is it me or is the pickguard translucent?I would rather have black dots over these inlays on all of the Raw Power models. Yes it IS translucent. I also found the answer to my question. The batwing SGs have that ugly ass routing between pickups and additional routing channel to the control cavity. Small SG pickguard would not completely cover these routings. DAMN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dimmypage Posted April 21, 2009 Members Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm sorry, Gibsons should not have maple fretboards. It's against the laws of nature. This is so very true:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members niceguy Posted April 21, 2009 Members Share Posted April 21, 2009 dumbass. try just a *little* bit harder. you're citing the info for the LES PAUL as your evidence for the SG. Come on, don't scratch your head too hard... you can do this, you can understand what I'm getting at here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, don't scratch your head too hard... you can do this, you can understand what I'm getting at here. I see now that you are correct. It is *I* who was misinformed. Consider the original dumbassing retracted and placed on my post instead. god dammit. EDIT: As an aside, the idea of a 100% maple SG is pretty awesome.

Come on, don't scratch your head too hard... you can do this, you can understand what I'm getting at here. Nope. I cited the general Raw Power page which refers to both the SG and the Les Paul. As was pointed out earlier, the Gibson site has posted conflicting info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
