SG Zoot Suit

And be sure to read about the neck and body construction!

A true case of Gibson following Epiphone in instrument design. Plywood SG/EB's seem to be becoming the norm

They must be smoking "multiple birch wood laminate pieces (each one approximately .075" thick)"...

Plywood is stillplywood even when you make it out of Birch and stain it different colours.

I like how $2000 instruments come with gigbags now.

I think you guys are smoking something. That's probably their coolest looking new design they've released since the GOtM program started.

This is the negitive thread on them ?

I really like them. Yeah its very 60's and artsey, but thats the intention. Peter Max

Dave W · July 31, 2009, 06:57:26 AM

Not necessarily negative, my link up top was just an alert that there was already a thread down here.

But now that you mention it, if I built a guitar out of laminated used popsicle sticks stained with their artifical coloring, how much could i sell it for?

Eh... I think it's actually done well for what it is, but definitely NOT my cup of tea. I like the clear knobs. $:-\$

Barklessdog · July 31, 2009, 12:04:33 PM

At least Gibson dyed the wood after the trees were cut down!

Reminds me of Clapton's SG from Cream.

Does Alembic sell popsicle sticks in their cheap laminates?

Pilgrim · August 02, 2009, 05:36:08 PM

I think it's wonderful! I've been seeing the colored laminates on custom knives for years - why not on a guitar or bass?

I'm hoping bass versions scome out soon.
