Members Sunshine86 Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 Much love for the SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thom Posted September 21, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 My personal favorite sg's:-Standard with P90-24 fret anniversary standard-Junior, all versions. Finish: The really dark aged "vintage' cherry, walnut, black. Anyway: The one in the pic got snagged by someone else. I mailed the guy within the hour the add was online, but the price was so damn low it's no surprise someone beat me to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chimi Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 I played a 70s tribute sg at GC a few weeks ago and fell in love! For some reason i only like the looks of the sg's with the small block inlays. When i save up some cash i might grab one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Angry Tele Posted September 21, 2012 Members Share Posted September 21, 2012 i have the same case. its really nice with the contrasting white interior, of course I keep a Tele in it. SGs sans hardcase=ticking fail bomb.

Members orourke Posted September 22, 2012 Members Share Posted September 22, 2012 I've been playing my white 1988 SG Special II a bit lately, it's really got a great feel. It has an ebony fretboard, I changed out a lot of the hardware cause it was kind of crumby but the body, neck and frets are top notch:I also have my first good guitar, bought it new back around 1972, it's also been modded over the years:with the volute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I did put a DiMarzio SD in the bridge and removed the cover from the neck pup.Was a great axe to learn on for a little kid that couldn't really shoulder something big and heavy.

Members cratz2 Posted September 22, 2012 Members Share Posted September 22, 2012 I've had two Gibson SGs but flipped both of them for a profit. I have a nice upgraded Jr that I recently refinished and an LTD that I Junior-ized.I also like to sort of split the difference with LP DCs. I've had two Gibsons and have three Ibanez of that ilk.

Members craigny Posted September 24, 2012 Members Share Posted September 24, 2012 I've never owned an sg. But my gas has been slowly building. Couldn't stand them at first. Much like teles. I've owned like 3 teles and now I've been giving sgs a hard look. I'd have to score one that was not neck heavy though. Total deal breaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thom Posted September 25, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 25, 2012 Damn...You mahfakkas aren't halpen my gas here:lolI just got a second chance for that SG I was talking about. REALLY close to pulling the trigger, I'll -probably- report back with a NGD thread soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
