Members orourke Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 What pick-ups do you have in that SG? They look like SD Phat Cats, but as I type this I know I'm making an arse of myself....GFS? I still have the original Humbuckers (chorme covers with Gibson logo pressed into them), but the pickups in it now are Kent Armstrong P-90's. There has been a lot of pickups in that SG over the last 30 years but those cheap Kent Armstrong's are the best sounding for this guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jay3265E Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 Please tell me you're NOT joking. :D Indeed I am not. I STILL own this guitar and actually had it tuned up and fixed up a few years back. It actually sounds really good.For starters, I can't imagine a scenario where someone would want to buy the guitar so I held onto it. But then it became a sentimental thing.I'm pretty sure that if I went back in time and knew what I know now I would still purchase the same guitar.

Members Mackin Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 Mine is a Samick strat copy. I got it when I decided to start playing around november 2004. It's beaten up and has deep marks on the fretboard (as well as on the body, but can't be seen on picture). I play it through a 15watt Marshall or my Rockman X100 (powered by an old Peavey PA). I better heat up my soldering iron 'cause the electronics are falling apart ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members erksin Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 I was lucky - my first guitar was a 1986 Gibson SG I bought in 1987 from my buddy I was in the Air Force with. It wasn't a walnut The SG was it? I sold mine to a buddy in the Air Force in '87... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DelDavis56 Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 A mid 90's Red Fender Mexi Strat. Got it at GC for 200 because of a big scratch on the back of it. Didn't effect the playability at all and was a great guitar, sold it to my friend awhile back and I now play a PRS CE24 and am in love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fast Frets Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 A cheap Kay acoustic. I don't remember, but it may have been particle board.Bought it for $10, sold it for $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mel Cooley Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 The first was a loaner from my older brother: a two pickup red Kingston that looked sorta like a shrunken Jazzmaster. I played that for about 8 months. I then purchased from the same brother a four pickup greenburst St. George (basically a renamed low-end Teisco) for $9.00 that I played for about 4 months. The Kingston sounded cool, the Teisco sounded like crap. The awful vibrato bars kept both from ever being in tune for more than a few seconds. Four months later I spent $160.00 of my paper route money for a used 6 year old competition orange Fender Mustang. I still have that one, but it's beat to hell 29 years later.

Members Gearhunter Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 Finally got around to climbing up in the attic to dig out my first guitar. I bought it new around 83-84 in the Navy Exchange on base when I lived in the Philippines. I paid $180 for it. It's a Kawai Aquarius which was made in Japan.Stayed stock till early 90's when I tricked it out with the usual EMG 81/85 with pre-amp switch and Kahler with locking clamp which was popular at the time. Few years ago gutted the EMG's out and sold them,then to make room for the Gibsons and Fender coming around,I cased it up and put it in the attic.Now I'm dying to put some hb sized P-90's in an bring her back to life. Here it is in it's nicotine,THC,and time encrusted state,naturally relic'd by me.Thanks for giving me the urge to dig her out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dragoneyes Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 Mine was a Vox Hurricane. I bought it at a yard sale for $ 30.00 US in "73". I eventually sold it and lost track of it. But about 2 yrs. ago I found it hanging in a used CD store.I knew it was mine cause the plastic rollers on the whammy bar were broke off and I replaced them with a spring of all things. The guy can't remember where he got it from but he's had it on the wall displayed with a couple of old Gibson Birdlands. All of them are now unplayable but I asked him if he would sell it to me and he said no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CicadaSilence Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I had a neighbor who had a piece of crap acoustic that he let me borrow. I think it was actually a prop, not a real instrument. The body wood was nearly three times as thick as a real acoustic guitar, the tuners were {censored}, and the action was unplayable above the fifth fret. Worst guitar I've ever seen in my life. I borrowed that thing for a few months before my dad found out that I was playing it. He played bass with the neighbors band, and let me borrow his bass when he wasn't using it. I saved enough to buy my own bass not long after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
