Members naz420 Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 Finally got my SG Faded special with cresent moon inlays back together after its been in pieces for over a year. I stained it red then went over it with black stain then a couple coats of laquer. I ve had this guitar for 8-9 years but never played it much cause it never sounded quite right. I think the intonation was a little off since the day i bought it. Thanks to youtube i figured out out to set it and it sounds awesome! I set the neck and action and it plays like butter. It has some EMG 81/85 PUPS with chrome trim, a bigsby, roller bridge and some pearl topped chrome knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thegamestop Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 I just bought an sg faded the other day, what video on youtube did you use to help you set it up? Looks good by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members undergod12 Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 Never would have thought that EMG's and chrome pickup rings would look good on an SG but damn, that's hot. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
