Calling all Yamaha SG owners

[Catalyst77]

Ok I bit the bullet and got a second hand set of VH2's of ebay for a decent price, they sound so good in my esp i just had to find out how they'd thicken up with a fixed bridge mahogany  guitar. (drool)

I guess if they are not quite right (which i'm sure they will be) i can prob flog them without losing to much.

Now all ive got to do is wait for the new pick up rings to turn up :(


On a different note i was wondering whether mine is 100% stock as the pick ups are black (def stock) the bridge is chrome and the knobs are gold!

Seems like an odd combination :? especially considering the body is red.

Not sure. Mine has gold knobs and chrome bridge, but it's a goldtop so I'm not too sure.

I had a 1976 SG1500.  I swapped the original pups for Mules - sounded nice, but.... it actually sounded better with the originals, so I swapped them back in again after 6 months of Mule action. Great guitars, including their pickups.

update on the Yam SG.

Finally got it back from the luthier after a re-fret, went for the VH2's in the end.

All my agonising was for nought, its sounds trully awesome.  Taking the pickups down in terms of the mid to high output of the stocks to the vh2s has opened the guitar right up a brought out a much better personality.

The natural sustain that these guitars have makes the neck woodly and sumptous, almost creeping into A2 territory but with a bit of kick.  Great for articulate and emotive solo's.

The bridge is really pokey now- not so mid high focused any more; but with really complexity and grunt without being a little muddy and well stock as it was before.
