What kind of neck profile has the Supreme had traditionally?
 
These things were $$$$ even back in the day.....I'm guessing they will be like $10K or something wild

That's insane . Gibson's out of their dang minds but they priced their Korina Explorer reissues at 10K so nothing would surprise me.
 
I think this is a good idea, but these will not be cheap.
Love those “super 400” inlays.
 
Lets wait for the finished product before we decide if it looks horrible or not. That being said I'm also not a fan of three humbucker guitars , I'm not even a fan of two humbuckers guitars as the neck pickup is useless to me.
 
Man , that's a lot of wood removed . Gibson did say that the new ones would not have highly figured tops so that will help keep costs down but still expensive as hell imo.

I had one for a bit, flipped it pretty quick. I love lighter Les Pauls but the one I had was kind of a dog. Pretty tho.
 
Three pickups with a simple toggle switch is just stupid imo. They have less useable tones than a two-pickup guitar with a toggle.
 
I have a 2004. After going thru 4 sets of pups it finally sounded the way it should. Pain in the ass having to go thru the output jack to wire them. At extremely loud volumes you do have to watch how the bass resonates thru the guitar cause it can feedback, but overall its not really a problem.
Neck is definitely rounder than my 2020 custom, and just feels good as a rock guitar. I wouldnt call it a shredder, but it is pretty versatile.

They kinda went a little nuts with the F holes and then whatever else they changed and thats when the prices went crazy. The originals are really nice guitars though, and the tops are beautiful. They were actually considered a value compared to the customs in the early days. Just a bitch with those damn pups!
 
I always liked the Supremes, but not a fan of 3 hum bucker guitars. Im curious to see these when they are announced.
