So, I've got a bit of a hankerin' for the 2014 SG Special... Check out all the 2014's, some REALLY good models out there:

But I think the "120 Anniversary" banners look pretty cheese-ball. While I would never fault someone else for liking them, I am curious to see if anyone knows whether I'll be waiting until 2015 to get one sans banner, or if the production year will also have non-banner models. Also, am I alone with my dislike of the banner?

So I played these two today at my local shop, and was absolutely blown away. Am I just getting old and deaf, or are foreign manufactured modeling amps and Korean guitars reaching a new level... Cause what I experienced today was sound and power way beyond what I thought modeling amps were capable of. As good as a proper American/British amp/guitar, no.. But I'll be damned if the cheap "little brother" amps/guitars aren't creeping up. What am I missing here of this is not the case?

Chappers and the Cap'n get two guitars that are identical (other than wood), and test them out against eachother.
