Gibson's stylish and toneful SG has been a classic ever since its arrival on the scene in 1961. Its status as the replacement for the Les Paul was only temporary (it was referred to the Les Paul/SG until 1963, when it became merely the SG), but its position as a rock icon was permanent. By the mid '60s, the SG Special (a variant with no-nonsense styling and gnarly P-90 pickups) was the favorite of countless rock and blues artists, and was seen in the hands of Pete Townshend, Carlos Santana, and Robby Krieger, to name but a few. To celebrate this rock classic, Gibson USA introduces the SG Classic Faded, exclusive to Musician's Friend. With a grain-textured satin nitrocellulose finish in Worn Cherry that makes the SG Classic Faded feel like an old friend right out of the bag, this guitar has all the ingredients that made the '60s SG Special legendary, at a price any hard-gigging guitarist can afford.
Released midway through 2010, the Les Paul Studio ’50s Tribute packed the stripped-down appeal of the long-running Studio line in a great ’50s-themed model with P-90 pickups that was a major hit with players everywhere, and sold out quickly as a result. Now the Les Paul Studio ’50s Tribute with Humbuckers from Gibson USA captures the same popular look and feel, updated with the PAF-style humbucking pickups that hit the Les Paul model later that decade. This is sure to be one of the most desirable formats introduced to the Les Paul Studio series since its inception in 1983. Available in great played-in-looking, grain-textured satin nitrocellulose finishes—Satin Ebony, Satin Gold Top with dark back and Satin Vintage Sunburst and Satin Honeyburst with dark back—the Les Paul Studio ’50s Tribute with Humbuckers marries the features of the legendary original Les Paul Standard to the no-nonsense styling of the Studio range. It spares elements like body and fingerboard binding and inlaid logo to bring you significant savings, and has an extremely broad appeal as a result.

The Warwick Corvette $$ Double Buck bass guitar is similar to the other Corvette models, but distinguishes itself with unique electronics. It features 2 powerful MEC humbuckers nestled closely in the center position, completely covering the legendary sweet-spot that so many basses miss completely. This configuration gives it a powerful, solid tone with depth and clarity. To make it versatile, 2 mini 3-way switches let you choose humbucker, single-coil, and parallel or series operation. The passive pickups are matched to the MEC 2-band active preamp, making it a true passive/active hybrid. The Double Buck features a select swamp ash body, an ovangkol neck, bell brass frets, high-quality hardware, and natural or transparent color oil finishes. Note: Though the youtube-video has a 5-string bass in it, this is the 4-string edition.
Als de gehele lijn van Warwick bassen als een familiefeestje is, dan is de Corvette $$ de schoonzoon die al het eten en drinken heeft opgemaakt en nu in de kast is gedoken met de bediening! Je kent het type vast - een beest dat slechts luistert naar één persoon. Yeah...de Double $$ is enorm wild. Hoewel hij qua uiterlijk lijkt op andere Corvette modellen, dankt de Double $$ zijn uitbundige houding en krachtige identiteit aan de unieke pickups en electronica. Er zijn twee passieve MEC humbuckers geplaatst in het midden van de body, waardoor de legendarische sweet-spot perfect wordt gedekt, welke zoveel andere bassen compleet missen. Maar dit beest heeft ook een gevoelige kant, welke je kan vinden via de twee mini 3-weg schakelaars waarmee je coil tap kan toepassen op elke humbucker (hum canceling parallel/series, single coil). Om de Double $$ meer flexibiliteit te geven, zijn de passieve pickups gecombineerd met een MEC 2-band preamp, waardoor dit een echte passive/active hybride basgitaar is. Als je verder kijkt dan de wilde electronica, zal je zien dar de Double $$ verschillende van Warwick´s meest gewaardeerde componenten bezit. Een select swamp ash body voor warmte en snap, een ovangkol hals voor kracht en grom, koperen frets voor resonantie en longevity. Al deze elementen mengen perfect samen waardoor het ideale performance palate wordt gecreert voor jouw passie! Inclusief premium RockBag.
