been a while since i saw the proper 'nailbomb' engravings :)

Eric, thats blasphemy! Get something on the aggressive side of vintage, like a BD or RR!
More seriously, what colour is it? 72-74 means you are still talking mahogany neck doesn't it?
Do you know if its a heavy one yet?

I seriously though of a black dog or riff raff, maybe a wcr godwood, but then I realized that I can't live without a big sounding pup
when I get rich enough to own two, I may move the nailbombs and install hot PAFs in this one :lol:
yeah, the neck seems to be mahogany, 3 piece and has the volute
the guy said he bought it new in 1975, but the guy who sent me it from USA said the pots look like 1970 ones, só I'm not sure about the year, but it has one of those huge schaller harmonica tune-o-matic bridges that came in all SG models and some weird les paul models (like the acoustic les paul signature, the les paul recording, the L6)
I'm not sure if the bridge is original, but Norlin production used to be very messy, so they might have used SG bridges in other guitars, or maybe the original store that sold it had the bridge swapped

it arrived FREE OF TAXES! (import tax in brazil is 60%!) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

You F*ck-knocker!!! Looks suberb! :o
PS: You forgot the ICMS: [it's (VALUE x 0.6)x 0.18] (the 18% is in SP state, BH shall be smaller)
-
If you are dropping Nailbombs in it then ditch the vintage look and treat that baby to some new hardware too!
-
Aw man you should cold sweat that mother! Im curouis to hear how they compare to the sweats detail review coming soon?

new hardware wouldn't match the pickup covers
I'm even thinking of salting and burning the bridge :lol: :lol: :lol:

the cold sweat set is already pretty good ion my mij les paul
I wanted something diferent, more like the holy diver, but with a bit more grind
I'm still unable to play it
I need arched pickup rings, since I had to break the cream ones that came in it to take them out :(
also, the pots look pretty bad (but only the tone pots and caps are original)
I tried to fit the rings of my MIJ LP, but they're 2mm wider, and that would require unnecessary drilling

I bought some flat slant pickup rings for her, but I couldn't sand them enough, they're a bit off the top
I already bought some arched ones on ebay, but they'll probably take 3+ weeks to arrive

couldn't record clips yet
the guitar sounds very focused and dense for a les paul
the biggest surprise is that the bridge pup reminded more of the cold sweat than of the holy diver
it does sound like an alnico pup, but it's VERY tight and "snappy", with more mid crunch than the holy diver
if the diver was "Dirt" tone, that would be "Facelift" :D
I'd also say that it has less midrange than the diver, but that may be part of the guitar tone
the neck pup sounds like an underwound version of the bridge model, loud as frak, with less mids and a lot of treble, a bit spikey sometimes (well, it's a frakkin' nailbomb :lol:)
it's as clear as the cold sweat neck, but hotter and less smooth sounding

You don't really know me, then :P
Looks suberb Eric!! Going to keep the chrome screws on the new rings or change for black??
