Members hangwire Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 so since I had my pickguard cutting set up together, I decided to cut this one from a record and see how it looks on my refinished late 90s SG Jr. I have already changed the knobs while the pics were loaded to some old black witch hate amp knobs It was fairly hard to get a pic that works, and the flash on my iphone was all "blushy" for some reason, so I kept switching between flash off and on The pickguard still needs a hand sanding around the edges to even out the curves and get the bevel more consistent all the way around. pics: thoughts?

Members hangwire Posted September 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 Damn thats awesomeI have a deep love for SGs when I was a broke warehouse worker going to college in 96-98, a local music store had these Epi Sg Jr. p90 guitars for $99 on clearance and I wanted the yellow one but missed out... that stock p90 is surprisingly decent and growly, and a fun guitar for standard tuning rocking out.

Members mr_cheef Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 That looks awesome, I have one of those guitars too, I haven't played it for years, after seeing your pictures, maybe a re-vamp is in order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hangwire Posted September 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 That looks awesome, I have one of those guitars too, I haven't played it for years, after seeing your pictures, maybe a re-vamp is in order if it is from the late 90s, go for it. I have played a few and they seem to be decent like this one. I think the paint was $5 and the record was .10 cents [damaged, at goodwill] best $55.10 guitar I have seen in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mhuxtable Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 Well if you're going to be that precise, I'd estimate about 75% of pit bulls are mutts. But they still get labeled as pit bulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
