i really really like this.
Thanks, I like the look of the black.

i like that too, and i generally prefer cherry-coloured sgs
-
Very good! I liked the inlay! Though about doing it sometimes, but with pearl.

I'm doing one in red but like a SG standard in my shape. :D

The person the guitar was made for asked for that inlay so it's a one off and not standard on that model. :D

The inlays are the same as what I've been planning for the guitar that I'll evenually get round to building....... I was also thinking about inlaying a precious stone in the headstock.
Have you been hacking into my computer? :lol:

Yeah that idea might work ok but I'll let you do that one :P :)

Love it! :D
I think the black stain was a very good idea, walnut's a nice looking wood but its actual colour is rather dreary. Combined with the satin finish and the ebony, it makes a very "unified" overall look, I think.
I also like the silver ring inlays, I've got a guitar with inlays like that.

Wow - really love it! Hope my son doesn't see it - he's a big black SG fan - could end up on his Christmas list :euuuh:
-
i like it soo much i just requested to get a quote on a baritone version of this beauty
-
Oh yes, that's one very tasty looking guitar. I like SGs anyway, and I do like your SGR take on them.
Added to that, the look of it is fabulous. I don't usually head towards black SGs myself, but I do seem to have acquired quite a few black guitars (tele, dano, archtop accoustic, les paul) and my last one, a Gibson ES335 has a satin translucent black finish. I'm very fond of the look of that one and how it feels when ever I pick it up... and the pics of this SGR give off the same vibe for me.
Lovely stuff :D
-
I'd like to see the same guitar with gold hardware, I think it would really suit it. Although you'd have to do something a bit different with the inlays and headstock logo then.
-
I'd never been a fan of SGs at all until I saw your SGRs. Had to wrestle with my credit card a few times over the padauk models and this one's another beauty. I can see it being an ideal guitar for grown ups to play downtuned heavy metal on. Very sleek and refined, but also just a little bit evil.
Is this one for stock, for yourself or for a customer?
-
looks nice, how's the weight?
just had a read up on walnut, would be interested to hear how you would describe the tone
-
not a fan of sg's - that shape... however the wood grain is great!; so for me-nice finish, wrong guitar lol
-

Your son's big and black? I'd take it up with the wife :lol:
(Given the assumption that most people on here seem to be white dudes)

Go for it! You will not be disappointed.
This guitar is beautiful. Sounds great and with the master volume/tone/3 way rotary and buffer blend/balance, there is a wide variety.
Paul Richardson: Genius!

Thanks Dave :D it's really good that a lot of people have said that.

Thanks Andy, I use some other really nice coloured woods which give off that old Gibson vibe :D

The head logo is real silver and for gold guitars it will be real gold, found a good price for real gold and as you may know gold is at a silly price now! lol

Brilliant :D I'm making one for a review at the moment which will have the new head (same as that one) which all my Gibson style guitars will have now. It will be made out of Padauk which I have some nice red pieces and it will be in the style of a SG standard. So that's credit card at the ready lol. Should be a smart looking guitar. :D

The weight was just a little bit heavier than a Gibson SG, nothing in it really, there again some Mahogany would be the same weight. African Mahogany weights more.
The sound was very good, the guitar really rings and you can feel it resonate through the body, has a bright sound. Never made a bad sounding guitar yet and anyone that says it doesn't matter what wood you use it's the pick-ups that make the sound are taking total cr@p. The pick-ups colour the sound of a guitar not make it. I've been making guitars for over 30 years, used all sorts of woods and it does make a difference.
A review in 1992 that Dave Burrluck did on my guitars..and when he interviewed me he was amazed at how I could make a guitar for someone and get it to sound the way the customer wanted it to by choice of woods and pick-ups, He said the review guitars sounded as I said they would. :D

if you need that guitar road-tested I'll happily oblige Paul :lol:
