Gibson SG GT
Peter at i heart guitar has all the fun. He gets given stuff like this to review. But that's probably a good thing. I'd probably just write the following review...
drooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllll....................
I've never been a huge SG fan, but this thing is awesome. I love the racing stripe finish. I love the over te top "chunk-o-chrome" tail piece. I love how flexible the tones are with the advanced pickup options.
Damn you Gibson.... damn you.

Danger Will Robinson… Gibson’s “Robot Guitar” Attack Of The Colour Palette
Gibson have finally realised that the Robot series needed some new colours (we won't mention that it needs a new name, but anyways...). And my have they done a good job.
The new Gibson Robot Range
If you want a better look, head over to the Gibson site. Don't go into the Robot area. Head to either the Les Paul Robot Ltd page or the SG Robot Limited page to see them up close.
What do you all think of the new colours and what is your favourite? I can't go past the Wine Red. That thing is beautiful.
Thanks to EGR for the heads up.
New Gibson Robot LTD Guitars
As seen all over the interweb lately, Gibson have announced the release of the "production model" Robot guitars that feature the automatic tuning system. Now these guitar have supposedly come down into the "affordable" bracket. There are two models to choose from the Gibson Robot Les Paul Studio Ltd. and the Gibson Robot SG Special Ltd. As for choice of colours, well there is bright metallic purple or .... nothing else.
One day, Gibson will realise that technical innovation can live hand in hand with classic appearance. I just couldn't see myself playing one of these no matter how good that tuning system is. The finish just looks so wanky it's not funny.
The "affordable" pricing is as follows:
- Gibson Robot Les Paul Studio LTD $3,999
- Bibson Robot SG Special LTD $3,599.
Rushing to your cheque book already. Nah, me neither.
