New SGs for 2011, a 50th Anniversary 24 fret SG and a 60s tribute special (p90s and small pickguard)
The 50th Anniversary tribute 24 is at the far right.

Wonder what the coin on these will be?.... I'm guessing right around $850 like the LP Studio 50's gold top blah blah blah was.....The SG Classics with P90's are $1k but they have fret binding and these look like they do not......

Quite like that shit brindle turd muffin brown SG. P90s and a slim neck SG makes up for not getting in on the 50s goldtop limited LP run.
Wonder how much and if theres any other special features. Would be better with block inlays tho'.

that non-reverse thunderbird in flat black would be cool if the fucking knobs were in a straight line. i feel like such a bitch having feelings of hulkrage when i see stuff like that, but i simply cannot help it.

I really like the white one a lot! I was going to sell my SG to put it toward my Rickenbacker. But then I fell in love with it again, but now I'm thinking I might sell it toward the rickenbacker, and then get one of these later on! I have been thinking that I would like an SG with P90's better.

I am getting my SS.org mojo White SG tomorrow and it will be getting P90s unless the EMGs somehow wow me, which I highly doubt.....SGs with P90s rock.... if you ever make it to a guitar shop that has an SG Classic hook it up to a tube amp, CRANK IT, AND BANG THE SHIT OUT THAT B and you will fall in love....

"Gorsh this is style with block inlays."
Pete Townshend Gibson SG sold for £49,250.
"Oh these inlays really inspire me."
Also,
"Les Paul '60's Tribute: Just like the current '50's Tribute but with a '60's Neck, same colours if I remember.
Thunderbird Short Scale: Name says it all. 400 Worldwide"

I haven't played the classic but I have played a legit vintage SG special with the p90's and it is still to this day my favorite guitar that I have ever played! I loved it!
Are these SG's going to be limited edition or will it be a regular model?

SG's should come with the option of split paralleograms. I don't want to have wield a double neck because the coolness of the inlays is counter-acted by looking like a tit.

Touche'...... but I was referring to the ones he used live in the 60's....I have never seen live footage of him using one that was a
special with P90s and inlay, but hey I could still be wrong

toy statue thingy.... no inlays...toys are like TV they never lie...

He also likes naked kids.
If the white SG is one of those cheapo faded models I'd buy it.

It is faded. I saw a detailed listing of all the NAMM gibsons on some gibson forum. The SG comes in white faded, natural faded, and cherry faded. I'm definitely considering one, or a used classic with the p90's.

If that white one had a wraparound, I would definitely get one of those bad boys!
