Might grab the ebony one. And not a bad price given the direction of Gibson's offerings these days.

Very cool of them. Love the green!

 

[lifeson1]

yum.

 

[Noise Under The Floor]

I love everything about it except that master volume on the pickguard. Apart from that, awesome guitar.

 

[bdm]

I really wish these had ebony fretboards.

 

[supersoldier71]

I want one. Not enough to buy one right now, but I'm making no guarantees about the future.

I assume strat players would love that.

 

[poppunk]

Super hot SG and a cool dude.

I'd even settle for Richlite. Guitars with Custom trim don't look right (to me) with rosewood fretboards.

Black Dye the fretboard and move on! But yes, does seem a bit off to my eyes as well.

Nice looking, both of them...

Funny enough, I think that's the best addition to these. Having a master volume after dialing in the sound of the individual pickups seems like such a lifesaver for these models.

Looks very cool. I'm a sucker for three pickup Gibsons, especially when they don't have the dopey original wiring. So that part is really cool. I agree with others that the fretboard really needed to be ebony to fit in with the Custom trim. Master volume doesn't bother me at all. I think it's a great feature. I like that they do it in black on the Ebony model. Blends in better with the pickguard and other knobs.

And yes, I admit to having to google who Captain Kirk was! I was wondering why they issued a guitar for a dead actor!

He would be very surprised too (he's not dead).

Look great. I just wish I could afford one.

For several seconds I was racking my brain trying to recall what episode of Star Trek it could've possibly been that saw Capt. James T Kirk playing a metallic light green SG for any reason at all...and why on earth would Gibson do such a thing.

 

[Matt L]

Loving both of those colors, such gorgeous guitars. Sadly, I’ve tried a couple of SG Customs and they just didn’t work for me.

[Wucan]

Wish the Green one had a different pickguard but looks great otherwise.

Not saying it’s a bad idea, I just dont care for it aesthetically. That’s just me though.

Ha!!! Me too.
My first thought was that James Tiberius Kirk played one after he banged this green space vixen!!!!
