One for the shredders, Gibson have created a Les Paul with features to lure the Metal fans including a Floyd Rose Trem, which some would say was sacrilege on a Les Paul but those people probably don’t play Metal. I’m not really up on my Gibby’s so wondered what Richlite was reading the stats: The 22-fret [...] An SG with a Floyd Rose Trem? Yes, this is a direct shot back at companies that offer similar SG style guitars for Metal guitarists and in my opinion probably should have been introduced a long time ago. Of course if you would prefer a Metal SG without the trem you can always go with [...] Way back in 1961 when the SG Standard temporarily replaced the Les Paul Standard in the Gibson lineup, few players were aware that a future icon of rock guitar was being introduced to the scene. The SG took root fast with players looking for a sharp and powerful alternative, however, and remained a heavy rock [...] If you’re seeking a full-bore Les Paul primed for the rock excesses of the 21st century, the new Shred Les Paul Studio With Floyd Rose from Gibson USA is that way to go. This guitar has all the ingredients that have helped to make the Les Paul a legendary rock axe since the 1950s—including the [...] A confirmed classic ever since its arrival in 1961, SGs of various types have been played by Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi, Frank Zappa, Robby Krieger, Angus Young, Derek Trucks, Jeff Tweedy, and countless other rock, blues and alternative artists.

This was the ultimate marriage of pop and heavy rock, driven to meteoric heights by the [...] For its superb marriage of tonal versatility and revolutionary style, the “Non-Reverse” Firebird of the mid to late 1960s has long been a favorite with rock, blues and fusion players looking for an alternative to the mighty triumvirate of Les Paul, SG and ES-335. Now Gibson USA introduces the Firebird Studio, a guitar with all [...] Gibson’s “thinline semi-hollow” ES models were an instant hit when they made the scene in 1958. The marriage of archtop and solidbody electric designs addressed the needs of countless players of the day, and created instant classics virtually overnight in the process. Gibson USA’s Midtown Custom takes all of the legendary ES properties a step [...] The Nighthawk made a major splash when it first hit the scene in 1993, and through its several evolutions this guitar continues to be popular with a wide range of players demanding a marriage of the best of Gibson tradition and clever modern design features.
