I always fancied one of these when they first came out, but they only made 148 of them until Jeff Tweedy pulled the plug.

 Low output BB1s, lyre, whats not to like?

 Its not Pelham Blue, but Blue Mist which changes a lot in different light! Lovely neck, similar to Firebird V one, but a shade thinner. Im looking forward to gigging at the weekend with this and Last weeks NGD

    Gorgeous. I really like these, even though there are elements of the design that *shouldn't* work (cream plastics mainly)... I'd love to add one to the collection, as I don't have an SG with a trem...

    Ive had a few lyre trem SGs before and and they arent great trems, but usable for nice shimmers.

    thats beautiful mate. That is definitely Gibsons best colour.
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    There's a few owners of bursts, black/white Customs, and cherry SGs/335s that would disagree...

    I remember seeing The Black Crowes 2 years or so ago, and the image of Jackie Greenes 60s PB SG is still burnt into my mind. That was also a swinging factor in my mind.

    Nice. I really like the contrast between the blue and and mahogany neck.

    Also want to try one if those trems I think for sensible use they can't be that bad.

    Enjoy!

    I don't really like SGs, and I don't really like blue guitars....but somehow that looks fantastic.

    Happy NGD.

    That is beautiful.

    My Christmas present this year is was going to be the similar Epiphone version of this guitar although that one is Pelham blue and has a Meastro Tremolo but now Epiphone have discontinued it and no one has any in stock anymore.

    Cream plastics are surpisingly nice too. Well done man.

    Happy New Guitar Day
