Members Burstbucker Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 I'm pretty stoked, I was looking through Kijiji the other night and saw that I guy just up the road from me was selling his near mint, two year old SG Standard with hardshell case for $750.00 Canadian (appx.$703.00 USD) I wasn't planning on buying another guitar but this seemed like a deal too good to pass up, so I scrambled over to the banking machine and got over to his place in a hurry, I knew that it wouldn't last long at that price. The guitar is near mint and is a real looker in that beautiful Heritage Cherry finish. It plays great and sounds just as good too. I already had a Les Paul Standard and never dreamed that I'd ever get to add an SG to my collection but I lucked out this time. I'm so happy with my new axe that I thought that I'd share my good fortune with you guys.Anybody else here a fan of the SG Standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cbh5150 Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 Nice score at a good price I've realized by this point that I am just not a Gibby guy, but having owned a SG Std., it would be the only Gibby I would consider in the future. Of course you realize, though, that your story has absolutely no credibility until you post pics :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members treedroppings Posted December 21, 2009 Members Share Posted December 21, 2009 Damn that's nice! great guitar too! I saw one at GC san jose for 1400. A 1975 one with black-anodized mini-buckers. Yours is good-looking, but I love old wood, and thick necks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dangordan Posted December 21, 2009 Members Share Posted December 21, 2009 Nice score! I just happened to put an SG back in the case that I've been playing the past couple hours. Gibson SG=great guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burstbucker Posted December 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2009 The guy who sold me this guitar had a new set of .009s on it which is too slinky for my tastes, I put on a set of .010s last night and torqued up the truss rod a bit to straighten the neck a bit more, the guitar plays a lot better IMHO. I actually like the stock 490R and 498T pickups but I've got a '57 Classic and '57 Classic + on my Epiphone Dot Deluxe, I'm kind of half toying with the idea of putting those pickups on my SG, what do you guys think?
