Members Angry Tele Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 i bet these will go up in value in 10-20 years. They only made them for 1 year, and the pickups are pretty kick ass, and not sold seperately afaik... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members esphil Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 Do the humbuckers mostly produce classic rock tones? I play heavier rock so I don't know if this will be able to get enough gain. I have 2 pricematched at 505 shipped at music123 and 1 for 620 and zzsounds.

Jazz cleans to ROAARRRRRRRR. It is a balanced vintage sounding range with a little sparkle up top. It Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ajympt Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 SG is supposed to be arriving today - couldn't get happy with the Firebird so I think its going back - hope the SG's fretboard is finished a little smoother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fusion1 Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 Did anyone in this thread get one of the SGs yet? Not really sure about the ugly block inlays. I would have been happier with trapezoids or even plain jane dot inlays. The block inlays look cheap and look like they are made out of corian from the pics online. Anyone ever try staining inlays? I would think a dark ebony stain to make them fade into the neck a bit might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chimi Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 I played one of the SG's about two months ago. Fell absolutely in LOVE with the thing. Couldn't afford it at the price but have been gassing for one ever since. On sunday i stopped at a local GC and played another one and was very much underwhelmed. The fretboard was extremely dry and pale looking and frets were not dressed that well. I'm now gassing for the Goldtop Lp though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUst got mine- inlays are pearloid, look fine- plays great- fretboard is WAY better then the firebird I got at first- fret ends are just the slightest bit less smooth than the firebird but thats an easy fix- pretty happy.

Members Fusion1 Posted November 21, 2012 Members Share Posted November 21, 2012 Also can soapbar p-90s be substituted for the mini humbuckers as a drop in replacement? Looks like the same route dimension wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the same route dimension wise. Yes they can from what I am being told. I am actually debating on swapping the cream P-90's from my 60's tribute into the Vintage Burst 70's tribute and then putting the Mini's in my black 60's and adding black plastics...this pic made me think of this Not mine & it's a VB 60's tribute.
