I love Pelham but I gotta say that the Blue Mist of the Tweedy looks even better to me side by side. Darker and deeper but still sports a nice metallic sheen. I love the visible grain in that finish too, looks bad ass.Jeff-7 wrote:I wish, but let's play a game.HorseyBoy wrote:^ Jesus H. Christ. Dudes at Gibson must've been following this thread…
PELHAM BLUE SGs, no min-e-tune, Lyre vibratos. Fuck it just make the Elliot Easton and Jeff Tweedy SGs again. I don't care if ebony or curacao de negreo boards are used but they need to be super dark boards (and not counter top material).

The blue mist was stellar looking as well, I would go for either in a heartbeat. Pretty unfortunate about the price of those Tweedy's, the whole point of buying a used Gibson is to avoid the insane cost of new Gibsons. Let alone paying way more than their original retail.Holy Schnikes wrote:I love Pelham but I gotta say that the Blue Mist of the Tweedy looks even better to me side by side.

The Tweedy's pop up pretty regular on ebay and reverb but usually go around $1600+ which blows. I found one locally for $1400 and considered it a steal relatively speaking. There's one at Merillon Guitars currently described as "like new" condition for $1950. I imagine they'd move on that price a bit. Fretboard on this one is real dark.

No, I think your right. My bass is actually a honeyburst as well. I'm just going off the Gibson site description. Probably a bad move.Psyre wrote:BitchPudding wrote:I really like that Iced Tea finish. It looks lovely.Jeff-7 wrote:And released just yesterday (for a nice chunk of change...)

I by no means am trying to be a dick, but I think that's Honey Burst, Ice Tea has a slight red color, like a very soft cherry burst. Just ant to make sure you pick the right color when you go to buy![]()
Honey Burst was my favorite Gibson color as a kid.
