It's got a AAA Maple top, that's the reason I'm interested in adding yet another EB-3/SG-variation to my collection, other than the main attraction of course.....  :mrgreen:

Yeah that is beautiful.

But what I meant is: how thick is the maple?

On the Natural Supreme it is very thick. The body is half mahogany, half maple.
In this pic you can see it if you look closely at the sides

Yeah, I got that  :mrgreen: but it's hard to tell from the pics. From what I can make out I guess they're the same animal construction wise. Maybe Uwe knows for sure ? If not I'll get back to you once she's arrived .....

It's sandwich half/half and therefore not just cosmetic, but really a different sounding SG bass.

I see those are short scale, too - ought to be a nice playing bass!

I wouldn't have minded them in long scale, but horses for courses!

Thats what happens when you get a SG Supreme with onions & sour cream. Gibson should do a classy version called SG Brougham with a vinyl top.
