Those SG Guitars are getting a bashing on a certain anti Gibson bass forum.
ffs, what a bunch of idiots (with some sane comments thrown in).
Gibson has been doing solidbody colors almost as long as Fender has, and the SG guitars are no exception. Just off the top of my head, the late 60s SG Melody Makers, the early 00s Platinum SG, the more recent army green Government SG, the red and blue SG Deluxe of the late 90s, etc., not to mention the special run of SG Basses for the Japanese market maybe 6 to 8 years ago. There's an original finish gray SG Firebrand on my local Craigslist, that's another one.
This special run isn't copying Fender colors. And it's just a special run for one dealership. Fender has also done special colors for CME.
