Angus is my favorite, but I also like Tony a lot as well. Plus he's a leftie like me!

Gary Feder,
Please do not forgot about us lefties when it comes to the anniversary model. I already have several Gibson SG Stds along with a CS SG VOS. There is a market for left handed SGs beyond the SG Std. How about a SG Jr/Special with P90s? How about having the Lyre unit available in left hand?

We won't forgot about the lefties. Thx for the other suggestions.

AFAIK, the Gibson Sku was SGNTVSCH1. List around $3,600. As you can see from this link... a lot of these made it into production:

Thank you so much!!! I'm a lefty as well, but with the way the economy is right now, a lefty standard or 61 reissue (which is way more expensive than a righty 61 reissue i might add!!! Not cool! ) is just too far out of my price range.

I can't even find a faded special, or even a regular "special" that is left handed. Not one. No one carries them anymore. I want one so bad!

If I could get a left handed SG Jr, like the original 61 jr, i'd be so happy. And the price of a special would fit it just perfectly.

[J Hall (Jonny Rocker)]

I agree. The SG std has been the only left handed SG model available for several years.


I would also really like a left handed SG faded, SG Jr or SG Special aka Classic. Something with P90s or an SG that I can mod to fit P90s.

How did this discussion suddenly become all about lefties? While I agree there should be more lefty models, this was intended to be a discussion about the 50th anniversary SG.

what do you guys think of this:




i really like it, and if they made it i would buy it. how about you guys?

Wow we post a few comments about lefties and you jump our case? What the crap man. This thread has been off subject for a while now.

The first post that talked about lefties was about the Anniversery model to begin with.

I really like the model. The maple top is really nice. But it's a hard trade, maple top for bevels. I also think that it should have a bound fretboard and maybe even a bound headstock. Just my 2 cents.

I think for the 50th anniversary of the sg, Gibson should look to the future not in the past. The current standard can be as Les Paul renamed traditional. And the new 2011 standard could have new locking tuners Brand new pickups(make a partnership with Bare Knuckle Pickups and put in the warpig) Point markers on volume and tone control. Some new colors. maybe some new inlays. kahler or Floyd rose as an option. They should try make something for the next generation. It will maybe be a bit stiff price on this guitar, but we will have the old standard as the traditional to old prices.

As a Defender of the Faith for the old classic early/mid-60's SG to truly see a definitive "reissue" that lives up to its name, I have to also say that progress CAN be a good thing, like the LP "Traditional" thing. IN ADDITION TO THE "ULTIMATE SG STANDARD, CUSTOM and JR/SPECIAL REISSUES", along with the current USA '61 and Standard (which could be named the '61 Traditional and '67 Traditional respectively), you could also have a slightly tweaked version of either (or both, hey) with some of the upgrades like the LP Standard (Tonepros, Neutrik jack, neck options, whatever) for those "new generation" folks.

I mean, we see what has historically happened, much like "New Coke" people always come back to those classic designs ultimately, and not making the reissues (and not improving them what little they could use improving) would be a crime.

I've always said, as long as Gibson would really put some R&D into the SG reissues and really, truly make a breathtaking set of reissues for all tastes, there's no reason they can't "move forward" with some experimental designs or whatever. Just don't act shocked when people go back to the old-school standards.

NO, NO, NO!!! You've got it all wrong! The 50th anniversary SG is supposed to be a reissue of the original SG! An exact spec for spec copy of the original 1961 Gibson SG!!!!!

Why not have a Reissue model and a Celebration model?

Because I'm afraid of a celebration model. I'm afraid of it looking something like what is described here:

It totally goes against everything the SG has ever stood for. The idea of cheap pickups intended for "metal" in it instead of the Gibson pickups, or it having a Floyd Rose instead of the Maestro or Bigsby just disgusts me!
Next they'll end up with a robot SG with a Floyd Rose or some sh1t!

The SG was, and always will be, used for classic rock and blues. If you wanna play "metal" go buy an Ibanez!
