Gibson Announces Billy Gibbons Ultimate SG
The girls go crazy for a sharp dressed guitar.
Gibson has announced a brand new collaboration with ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, the Ultimate SG. Crafted in the Gibson Custom Shop, the Ultimate SG takes inspiration from class car design and features a two-tier top, gold hardware and a '61-style vibrato unit. The two Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbuckers, dual volume and single tone control deliver characteristically raw tone.
The included hard case is hand painted by artist James Willis, and every guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Billy Gibbons himself.

Speaking at Baselworld 2015, an event that usually showcases luxury watches, Gibson CEO Henry Juszkiewicz described the Eden Of Coronet as a step towards the brand's expansion into the luxury market: “The creativity comes from the process of blending ideas and cultures from different industries, which further solidifies Gibson beyond just a guitar brand. All along we’ve been striving to expand our business to different sectors of the consumer market and ‘Eden of Coronet’ is definitely an important milestone for what we target to achieve.”
