NGD - NOT what I expected...

[FernandoDuarte]

Fernando and I are in total agreement! Great catch!

Yeah, almost... :lol: I don't like the look of that guitar, but it's useally said as having good quality and, as I've already messed the "blank to guitar" topic of Mr Bump, I decided to not say a word about it...
But I think that if it came cheap and if it's good guitar, it's a goddamn good catch :D

[MrBump]

Fernando, you could never upset me!  It's all down to taste, innit?

[badgermark]

How the hell did you get that for £180? I want one!

Funny thing this model would pop up because my friend has one too.......it was REALLY banged up with stickers on it and stuff ............ so he sanded the paint of, gave it a red stain colour, new mashine heads, and I
finished it of with a Riff Raff bridge, we play together in a band that plays alot of AC/DC songs and it sound really good.

Now thats a nice story isn't it? ;)

I think that's about right - I've seen them go on Ebay for £150, but then I've seen them for +£300 too...

Just noticed that mine has "Made In Japan" on the headstock - some were made in Taiwan.  Apparently the MIJ models are more desirable.  Not that it makes a difference to me.  But it's nice to know.

Yes :D But you know, not trying to be a bugger :lol:

that guitar looks totally awesome, i just love that shape.  SOOO 70's and fvckin slick as hell.  And a steal.  Go out and get a hooker with the extra money to celebrate! :P

Not a cheap one, obviously, as you had a fair bit of change. 

Ahem....

Anyway, nice guitar!  :)

Well, of course Philly, why skimp on the goods?

I got an SG800 of ebay last year for about £180 they really are great guitars; really really resonant.   I was thinking of putting some abraxas in mine for the whole santana thing.

Its def worth pickup up one of these beauties while they're still cheap; you'll struggle to find a better LP style guitar without shelling out a fortune.

Welcome to the Yamaha SG Club.

Nice guitar for a bargain. That leaves room for a set of BKP's.

I'd put Riff Raffs in that one, it's practically begging for those.

[MrBump]

Really?  My heart is telling me Mules...

[gingataff]

Nice axe. It looks like it had a Roland GR synth pickup on it at one point.

I'd be tempted to go with Catalyst77 here - Abraxas all the way for a slightly hotter Mule tone.  I'm waiting for a used Abraxas bridge to come up on the used market so I can try one out (too skint to be buying 'em brand new at the minute, AND xmas is nearly upon us, argh!)
