Members superflyinmonke Posted June 22, 2012 Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 Nice. I love my SG and those look bad-ass. I wonder how they did the neck joint, since it isn't visible on the top, which is why they have that little pick-guard above the neck pickup in the first place on most SGs. I'd leave the PG off. If that's an ebony board, you have come out well, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarbilly74 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 Yeah, Id do no pickguard, but mirror if you ARE going to do one. Id even probably change the hardward to black and put an EMG in it, so it looks like my soul What kind of tone and noise difference do you get from wax potted v. epoxy pups? yeah black hardware is definitely a good idea... I have no idea what the difference between wax and epoxy is lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarbilly74 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 Your Morphing into Iommi. I know SG+Laney = sex I think the Iommi pickup would sound great with my rig, since it was voiced for the Laney GH tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarbilly74 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 I am considering the chrome EMG, but I did not like the X series when I tried it. I would probably go with a chrome 81 TW so I can still use the coil tap switch that's already in the guitar. The stock 500T is a GREAT pickup though, I am really liking it and I was surprised with how good the split tone is. So I may just keep it there, no sense in fixing what's not broken.

Members superflyinmonke Posted June 22, 2012 Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 Wat what? Glad your getting a Gibson...... :love: :love: Your grammatical error, that's what. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling Billy, I agree with the 500T. I have one in my V and it's excellent. It's too bad Gibson pickups don't come standard with 4-wire configs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members this is paul Posted June 22, 2012 Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 Yeah, those melody makers suck.. No pickguard with chrome pickup looks great too.. If you do get the Iommi, I'd like to hear some thoughts on it.. One of few pickups I've never tried but definitely wanted to check out.. Seems like it should be unique sounding from its description.. It has a ceramic and alnico 2 magnet, and potted in epoxy like EMG and bill Lawrence pickups.. I love that pickup in SG's. Something about it is just sweet. Very dynamic, I think We recorded a lot of our album leads with it. I want to try one in my Toronado but it seems like an odd combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this is a 4-wire 500T since the guitar came with a split switch, so that's really cool. The split tone is really awesome, it sucks that most 500Ts can't do it, because it's an amazing clean tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soundgardener75 Posted June 22, 2012 Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 Congrats! I like the look as is, but chromed Iommi pickup looks better than mirrored pickguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wookieslayer Posted June 22, 2012 Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 Bad ass dude. I'd skip the pick guard, chrome pickup would be cool tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 Yeah I decided to skip the pickguard for now and just bought a chrome pickup ring. Can't wait til it gets here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members this is paul Posted June 23, 2012 Members Share Posted June 23, 2012 Nice! There is one of those on the Chicago CL today that I was eyeing up...
