Gibson SG Supreme - 2001




I have been gassing for an SG for a while now and I have never owned one so it was a challange to figure out exactly what I was looking for. I really liked the Epiphone SG Prophecy GX but couldn't find one anywhere to try out. I didn't want to spend the money for a gibson but found this one on craigslist and it kept coming back to my mind. I have always loved the SG Supreme but didn't want to spend that kind of money for one. This one was owned and played a lot.. a bit beat but still very worth it to me. So here it is and as you can tell I am always a sucker for cool tops and ebony fingerboards.

Specs:
The SG Supreme sports the Flame Maple top that for decades has distinguished the most valuable and desirable Gibson Les Paul models. Rich translucent finishes enhance the figuration of the wood grain, giving the SG Supreme a unique and memorable look.
