Im a bit late with posting a pic of my new guitar i bought a couple of weeks ago, allthough i can now add a pic.
I have allways been a huge fan of Gibson's SG model, still i always had great difficulty finding a really exeptional one. With LP's it seems so much easier..... :)
Anyway i found this very nice user SG, NO its not entirely original, it has a refinished neck, humbucker (not the original mini humbuckers) and it has been altered from a Bigsby model to normal stoptail. It still has the old style tune-o-matic bridge though.
It now has a couple of Dimarzio PAF Pro's in it, the bridge Pup is bad and i still want the repair from the Bigsby refinished. The repairs/refinsh have been done professionally by someone who is building for many years, the neck feels so much better now. Thats the one downside to old guitars, the neck finish wears and becomes less smooth.
Its a 1974 SG, but is made late 1973 (potdate september '73), has .33 caps which work great IMO.
I select a guitar on their acoustic clarity and sustain which must be perfect IMO, the strange thing about this guitar is that it has a ebony fretboard instead of the usual rosewood one, which happens sometimes when they ran low on stock.
And thats it about this one, wonderfull clear and smoothly sustained acoustic tone, does fit well with the Paf's but you can imagine i have another line of pickups in mind for this baby
. Its hard to figure out which BKP's should get a place in there, im thinking Blackdogs or VHII's but im still not sure.
On the background of the pic you can see my Marshal late 60's cab "the Queen" with original greenbacks and my '85 JCM800 (2205 model) which is called "the king" obviously.
Anyway thanks for reading and please excuse the poor english and bad photo.
