That is really nice indeedy

ICBM

I had a different Kirk Douglas in mind...

Showing my age no doubt, but it might have been more interesting to see what they could have come up with .

After all, Keifer Sutherland has a signature model, although I seem to remember it being rather ordinary.

It was under constant tension.

At £1149 it doesn't seem overly expensive either....

I was hoping it would have "I AM SPARTICUS" inlaid down the fretboard.

I was thinking that, or blue and white horizontal stripes like in 20,000 leagues under the sea ! )

The KS336 was awesome. Just a goldtop CS336 with different inlays. I'd love one.

This SG would be lovely with a black guard

A Norse metal version called Ragnar.

I've just noticed that he's got exactly the same Souldier strap as I have in the YouTube video. It must be a sign [-O<

ah yes, he had an ear for music,  unfortunately it wasnt the one he kept

Like ICBM I had a different Kirk Douglas in mind.

I wouldn't want the vibrato thing though. They can take that off.

Looks great, i'd love one. Specs say ebony board which is strange as the custom shop Les Paul custom has richlite.

Wow want. That fade bit on the tip of the switch has given me wood.

The spec says rosewood board & the photos look like rosewood to me.

The only thing that puts me off is the gold hardware - bling is not my thing. Still at least it means I'm not tempted to buy one..

what a beauty!

Or just a black finish

Doesn't do much for me at all I'm afraid.  Why are most guitarists mired in the past ?  I don't get this lust for legacy designs at all.

@Emp_Fab some designs are just timeless :-)

The SG has a really distinctive and recognizable tone that's probably more about it's construction short comings than its virtues. I've never got on with a LesPaul but love the SG.
