А что это за гитара?
Gibson Billy Gibbons Ultimate SG
The Billy Gibbons guitar
Designed by ZZ Top legend Billy Gibbons
In 2015, Billy Gibbons teamed up with the experts at Gibson once again to create yet another unique guitar spectacle to release out into the world. This time, it was a Gibson SG—sort of.
The Gibson BGSG (Billy Gibbons SG), has an SG body with a Flying V neck and headstock. It has two Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pickups connected to two volume knobs and one master tone knob. It also features the old-school sideways vibrato tailpiece, just like the “Lil Red” model. Just because it’s Billy Gibbons, the back panel is also reflective gold and in the shape of Texas for a little extra touch of cool.
While all the hardware features are certainly impressive, the real draw to this piece is its finish. The top two-thirds of the guitar’s top is actually raised with a curve right above the tailpiece. On the standard model, one side is painted a light green, and the other is pink. The gold edges and hardware finish out the full-on hotrod look. No matter how hard you search, you won’t find a six-string that looks as good as this one.
The story behind it is as odd as this piece itself. Only 10 of these guitars were made, with Gibbons receiving the very first issue of it of course, the rest of them were marketed and sold solely by Neyman Marcus, as odd as this may sound, it was all part of a Texas team initiative that featured state born legends. To get one of these unique guitars, one would have to pay the staggering price of $30.000, then Neyman Marcus would write a $5.000 check in your name appointed to the Heart of Neyman Marcus Foundation, and subsequently, you’d receive two tickets to a ZZ Top concert. In this gig, Billy would play on stage the guitar before handing it over to you, making it one of the most beautiful guitar acquisitions of your life.
A mahogany neck was chosen for excellent resonance with a rosewood fingerboard and a rounded Gibson Flying V-style headstock
