This Model Should Be Discontinued... the SG Standard '61 Faded Maestro Vibrola that was introduced in late 2022. It shouldn't be discontinued because it is a bad guitar... it just doesn't make much sense in the current line up now that Gibson has so many BETTER options for a new SG. The "faded" series is a cult classic... but I feel it needs its own identity similar to how they did when first introduced in 2002. I'd suggest an unbound ebony fretboard and ditching the vibrola as a way to bring interest into this Faded SG model as well as a price correction to the 1499-1799 range. The unbound ebony fretboard would be worth paying a little extra for while still getting the player's "satin" finish.
