Swap offer - now with NGD
« on: September 10, 2010, 06:41:05 AM »
Hey guys,
Ive got the chance to get a guitar ive been gassing for for ages, but in trade the dude wants a guitar i got a few years back that i had been gassing over for ages.
I have a silverburst gibson SG, trading for a 20th Ann RG550 in Desert Yellow
Both are hard to value due to limited availability.
you reckon its a fair trade.

i hardly use the SG anymore so im leaning towards trading for something new
my other option is try and trade it for cash

for


Edit:So I made a decision and have a new guitar day, first for a while.
See page 4 for more

I'd say keep the SG, but then I like SGs and have no interest at all in RGs.

The SG does look great in silverburst, and once you've sold it you probably won't see another.  On the other hand I think those RGs were only produced in small numbers too, weren't they?

Depending on condition, and if it's been messed with or not, the RG550 is worth around £650.

I would say your SG is worth more than that...

i agree with Dave, i'd say the SG is worth quite a bit more than the Ibanez.

If you do trade it I'd ask for some cash from him

I hate SGs. With a passion. Ask for cash because your guitar is worth more, but do the trade. When the magic is gone, you can't do much. I owned an SG for the better part of my life and thought it was great. Then I realized it didn't do anything for me. I sold it and bought a seven string + my 6er's Warpigs. I'm much happier for it.

No, Philly, that's far too composed a 'hatred'. I don't see any of my own all-consuming telecaster rage behind those words ;) God I hate telecasters almost as much as I hate Macca, the Beatles and traffic wardens. Mashed potatoes are evil, but really do pale in comparison to the above monstrosities. :/

Damn you Philly, you got me started again!


I never got on with the SGs I tried (neck heavy... wtf?), but preferred them to the les pauls - I couldn't get on with this bridge floating about 14 inches from my body. I do, however, love the look of SGs - and the Viper's take on the symmetric SG shape is really good. Of course, my design with Wez far exceeds either of these 'generic' models :D
