Gibson Releases Jeff Tweedy Edition Guitar
Earlier this year, Gibson USA released a new Jeff Tweedy Signature SG electric guitar. Modeled after the 1961 SG, the guitar features a solid mahogany "double horn" body and neck, a decorative "lyre" vibrato tailpiece cover and two BurstBucker pickups. The body is finished in a misty "Pelham blue" with a cream pickguard, a satin-finished neck and acrylic inlays in the rosewood fingerboard; full specs here. Suggested retail price is $2,599.
This isn't the only special edition Tweedy guitar released this year. Martin also released the 00-DB Jeff Tweedy acoustic guitar, built with wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. It'll run you $2,999.
Back in 2008 Breedlove created a 25-piece edition of Jeff Tweedy signature acoustic guitars. Neither Gibson's no Martin's guitars won't be nearly as limited.
