That is so sick. I want one of these. Appears tehy are blowing out all the baked maple guitars. heard they were going back to rosewood for 13.

LOVE SG's. I'd have to own a Heritage Cherry one though, if it were me.

Grats on the awesome new guitar!

They have quite a few Heritage Cherries at Sam Ash for 799 with case...

The SG Standards all have Rosewood fretboards (for now)

I picked this one out, for the coil splitting and the finish.. it was a tough choice between SIlverburst and Cream...

Awesome deal. Anyone else looking for a great deal on SGs or a lot of Gibsons check out AMS they have a clearance sell and had new SG standards marked down to $799

Not just the baked maples, a lot of the 2012 models. I've seen various models of LP Traditionals from anywhere between $1149 and $1599. Shocked

Some great deals right now.

Happy NGD, good looking SG!

They're clearing out all the current 2012 stock to make way for the new 2013's Rosewood's back on the vast majority of models, there's a couple of new robot-type guitars with a built-in tuner and whatnot. Most exciting development, I think, is that the Traditionals are now fully-solid.

I'm watching the Les Paul Classics and Traditionals lately. They look awesome!

They're brilliant guitars! A Trad is on my hit-list as soon as the new 2013 stock hits the local stores. As far as I know, they've started coming out in the US already; Sweetwater has some pics of the new models if you're interested. I spied the cheeky little NGD you hooked as well, very impressed. Wink

How are you liking it so far?

So far, I dig it. It plays extremely well for a budget USA model. It needs some dire TLC. The frets need a polish, and it needs new strings.

Scary how much I like it, in the shape it's in.

It's almost minty, there are a few nicks in the finish, like pinhead size. I do wish it had a higher gloss finish on it, and binding. But thats why I'm looking at the Traditionals and Classics now.

Gotta say, I am really digging the BurstBucker pups on this thing, the coil split makes them sound all P90ish....

Nice grab man, about time they started selling SG's for what they are actually worth pricewise. In good conscience, I could never pay $1000+ for ANY newer SG

Yup I picked up the SG Standard with P90s a few weeks again. Just love it. I believe this is the best prices Gibson has ever advertised. They are finally selling their guitars at what the should have been for the last few years

Lovin the Silverburst. Trying not to drink the Hatorade because I'm a little jealous. Again congrats on the sweet guitar.
