That guitar was from a limited run Gibson is putting out called the double diamond series. It actually has two diamonds set into the headstock. I guess Gibson wants to test the waters for making jewelery because they've run out of ideas for guitars!

If you go to the Fender store, there's jewelry for sale, so if what you said is true, it wasn't Gibson that ran out of ideas first.

Anyhow, that SG is a gorgeous guitar, if it didn't have those fake diamonds.
I'm thinking of buying another Gibson, but will likely wait until next year to avoid the anniversary 12th fret that is on most of the models this year. That piece of mother-of-toilet-seat looks tacky.
Hopefully, 2015 will have more class.

Gibson is raising all of their prices so I'd get one now if I were you.

Or get it secondhand.

Correct me if I'm wrong please, but didn't Fender already inlay diamonds into the headstock fronts on the 60th Anniversary of Fender commemorative instruments about 8 years ago?
