Anyone have or seen more info on this? Curious if the neck is slim or chunky. Gibson site just says rounded. Looks like sweet guitar. Almost a grand more than the regular SG special.

Very cool. Neck will be on the chunkier side vs. flat / thin. Should be similar to the Custom Shop "Monkey" signature version that came out last year.Anyone have or seen more info on this?

I just bought one as well. I literally got a custom strat which I love a few weeks ago, no buyers remorse, but wow. The p90s on this growl like nothing I’ve ever played. I have a 72 Princeton reverb i plugged it in to and I can’t stop playing this SG. Even over the new strat. I have never played p90s before. Curious if all Gibson stock 90s sound like these. If so, apparently I’m a p90 guy. My tech measured the output on them at .81. So not overly hot but maybe the magnet used on them? I legit bought this to try out and return. I am not sure I can return now.
I am not in a position to A/B this with a regular sg special, as no shops here carry lefties in it but I’m curious to see if anyone has done so. Bout $800 cheaper. But damn. This iommi screams.

I have a P-90 SG, but that bridge is what's seducing me...

Man I want a Tony Iommi SG. If I start playing it though, I might have to play left handed and play Paranoid like Iommi.
And if not Paranoid, I think I wanna teach myself to play Rat Salad.
