Members Hand Amputation Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 So, I've got a fella locally that has a 1995 SG Special that he wants to sell me. It's in 'player's condition', which I like, and it comes with a hardshell case. He's asking $525. I think he'd take $500 even. I'm curious about the fretboard.. Is this one from back when they were a little better than the 'faded' series? What's the haps on this one? Can anyone help me out? Is it worth it?

Members Help!I'maRock! Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 i had a '98, but it's basically the same guitar. rosewood fretboard, 490r & t pups, those tuners look non-original though. mine had tulips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PigWings_v2.0 Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 rosewood. i sold mine years ago for $450 with an SKB case. $500 isn't bad today. mine was the heaviest SG i've ever played. thing must have been 9 pounds. just never got along with it.Really? That kind of weight is approaching Les Paul status!! Did it still neck dive like a mother{censored}er? Every SG I've picked up has been feather light. One that heavy would be awesome!

Members JTEES4 Posted July 1, 2018 Members Share Posted July 1, 2018 Yeah...I get it....this is an old thread. The OP picture is an ebony board. I am looking at one myself, it's also a 95 with ebony board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cleans are beautiful & can get to near acoustic transparency and sustain. I don’t need drive, distortion or growl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
