LaughingDog Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Oh geez, you know what ruined my night? I think these are being finished in Blue Mist... not Pelham Blue. Who is the idiot that made that decision? )))): Gibson is always letting everyone down, it seems. I e-mailed American Musical to confirm that it is indeed blue mist and not pelham blue. This is such a deal breaker for me ))): Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 $1699 is not a bad price considering they charge that for a basic Les Paul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I wish they had done it more like JT's actural SG: black pickguard, pelham blue, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAK2112 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I actually think the white pickguard is beautiful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yeah, no matter what it's a beautiful guitar. I wonder if Jeff had a hand in the design? Maybe he picked the white pickguard and the color? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yellowmarmot Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Not that it matters one bit, but I'm pretty certain I've seen Jeff play one with a white pickguard as well, at the show in Snowmass last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LaughingDog Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Did you guys check out the Live on Letterman performance? Because he used this guitar for Art of Almost. Blew my mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott Gyrrr Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Or this colour would be cool Wilco Bike maker Todd Simeone;Color was my main contribution, and when thinking about Wilco and their music, I could not picture anything but “dust blue” (which also happened to be a 1950's Ford truck color).

calvino Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 That is a sweet looking guitar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 If I saw that and the black pickguard version next to each other in a store, I'd gravitate towards this new one. That thing looks really sharp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

choo-choo-charlie Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Well, now it's officially out there: http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/SG/Gibson-USA/Jeff-Tweedy-Signature-SG.aspx. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Would love to try one out, not sure if any of my local stores are gonna bring this one in though. Hope this one doesn't have tuning issues, I've found SGs to be pretty bad with that generally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I have tuning issues with my Les Paul (just a Studio) - perhaps it's a Gibson thing in general.I would love to play the SG. I am sure one of the stores in Chicago will get one in. I haven't been to a music store in quite a while, actually the last one was Rock N Roll Vintage Inc. up on the northside (in Chicago.) I think they filmed some of IATTBYH there. Beautiful store. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 FYI, these are now in stock on Amazon. I had been waiting since September for one on another site but canceled that and bought one on Amazon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glider Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 not a big fan of the blue sg or the unfinished neck but i love sgs.. just picked up a '81 sg standard that is the most amazing guitar i have played.. walnut finish big head stock and small pickguard.. the way to go for me!!

SarahC Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I want to buy one of these guitars so bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
julien_etc Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 i finally have one... =) more pics on my instagram : the_fragile_36 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Do most signature guitars have the name (Tweedy, for instance) on the headstock - it seems a bit cheesy? It is a great looking guitar.I just think I would want any signature/name on the back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosco Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Very nice The name is on the Truss Rod Cover, those can easliy be replaced, just remember to save the original. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Very nice The name is on the Truss Rod Cover, those can easliy be replaced, just remember to save the original. Good point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
julien_etc Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I agree (for the name on the back)... BUT without the tweedy, it's just a simple Gibson SG. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 so tell us about her. how does she play? how does she sound? what about that trem unit? I'm not crazy about the blue either, but neither would i refuse one if it fell outta the sky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
