Members rog951 Posted December 22, 2007 Members Share Posted December 22, 2007 Anyone ever seen a Gibson SG with three pickups, gold hardware, batwing pickguard, and all the "Custom" accoutrements (block fingerboard inlays, bound fingerboard and bound headstock with diamond inlay)???

Members bigconig Posted December 22, 2007 Members Share Posted December 22, 2007 BBreaker has one that I believe is a reissue. I'm not sure when they came out. Early 90s maybe? I remember because it looks just like my Classic Custom but with an extra PU. BBreakers- Mine- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rog951 Posted December 22, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 22, 2007 AHHH! THAT'S where I saw it before. BBreaker's collection! Whew! Okay, thanks for that info. I was beginning to wonder if I'd dreamed it! Any idea of the value of one of those reissues? BBreaker, if you're listening, would you mind sharing some $$$ info? BTW, bigconig...was your Classic Custom one of the GOTWs? Really gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hadn't seen/played it in person at a local shop I probably never would have had any interest- good thing though, the local shop saved me $500 of standard internet price Looks like they definitely made the 3PU in 92 (not sure why I knew that). Here's, one I found on Gbase. Not sure if that's the going rate or not but all the early 90s Gibsons I've had were great guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. just peeked at your guitar pix page and you've really got some nice stuff! Great find on that '92 Custom on gbase. I googled like hell and came up with nothing. They must've only made 'em for a few years. $2K seems a bit steep but who knows with Gibson prices these days? I'm hoping BBreaker will chime in with what he paid. He always gets great deals.

Members tiltsta Posted December 22, 2007 Members Share Posted December 22, 2007 Does a 2 pickup SG have routing for 3 pickups under the guard? I've never opened up an SG. Just curious what is under there. Might make it possible to make your own 3 pickup model without a router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious what is under there. Might make it possible to make your own 3 pickup model without a router. Pretty sure there is no routing for a middle pickup on a regular SG. Sombody posted a pic a while back of theirs with the pickguard removed. IIRC, there were channels routed for the wiring, but not for the middle p/u.
