Les Pauls, SGs, T-birds.

Jimmy has photos posted and specs on Facebook.

Lots of finish options.

Could this be true?

The SGs and T birds are already in stock across the web...considering one of the T birds in the $800 range. Not bad. But I hadn't heard about LP bass. I MUST HAVE.

Where did you see them?

Just did a quick Web search and I could find lefty FIREBIRDS stocked, but not T-birds or SG basses.

My bad guys, sorry to get your hopes up. The firebirds are all out there, not seeing the t birds yet. I've already set aside money toward an LP and a T bird! We won't get this chance again for some time...

And they're the Firebird Studio model, with a set neck and with a flat body :(

You think they will only do it for 2013?

I've not been able to find anything on Gibson's site about this... Other than the models mentioned, are they going to be making any SG's? If so, any ideas on possible pricing?

Better be, I put a deposit on an SG Bass last week, Jimmy said I'd get the first one.

LOL... touche. I'd understand if you'd rather not say, but can you give a ballpark of how much you paid for it?

I just put down my deposit for the first worn cherry SG they get. Ronn's got the first glossy one. :-)

Unless there's an overwhelming demand (and sales) for these lefties, then yes they're not likely to continue producing these after 2013. This has been their pattern recently - do a limited run of lefties per model until they run out or sell out at lower overstock prices.

Jimmy is technology adverse. The best way to get any business done with them is over the phone.

I was concerned about the lack of into on any of this, even with gibson. I called them today, they confirmed that it is all true.

I sent them a note thru their "Contact" page on FB, Jimmy phoned me in less than 5 minutes.

Does anybody knows when will be possible to buy one in Europe?
I wonder if the only option for the SG will be the faded one... Or maybe the glossy standard SG too?
