i like the look of them. might not sound like a gibson with all that maple, but i like the looks of the sgs with a maple neck
sadly thats as original as they get, changing a wood...
Gibson Raw Power Series 2009:Maple LPs and SG's

No more cramped than a Z.Vex pedal, I reckon, but I'll bet it took a mess of soldering from the company grunts.
The concentric pot is a volume/tone stack followed by neck/bridge blend, a 3-band EQ, and a passive/active switch with battery in a rear cavity. I'm honestly impressed, it's a great sounding bass with nicely vintage voicing (read: decent-wound low output pickups) and transparently "woody" tone very reminiscent of my '78 Jazz bass...The other ash deadweight in our posession. The Fender Jaguar bass I traded it for lacked tonal personality in passive mode and simply sounded too stuffy for practical use and recording. For originally a hair under $1k(now about $550 with the Won/Dollar exchange doing what it does), the thing is an excellently made Korean unknown, as they don't export their stuff despite an endorsement from Korea's top session cat Taeyoon Lee, who has this very model with tacky gold hardware and twin pickup guards.
Everything feeds into the secretly-concealed P90-shaped BLACK BOX, haven't tried to figure out what the blue trimpot is for.

I actually agree with this... I think the maple would still look weird on them but they would look a lot less weird if they didn't have black headstocks.Malik wrote:Wide, flat boards and black headstocks makes them look ridiculous. Everyone knows matching stock only works on light colours, so a black stock on every colour is stupid.
