Check it out!

What does everybody think?

Ceramic warpig and whole new scratch plate fitted to make it look like a junior!

Just what i've always wanted, and blue!

Looks like something the guy from Fall Out Boy would play :)

How does it sound?

Nice colour! Who did the refinish?

AdamB · « **Reply #4 on:** September 07, 2007, 12:34:49 PM »

It's not a refinish, just one of the colours that the 61 reissues come in, there were a limited number though and america only sold

It sounds amazing!

It really sings, ceramic warpigs all the way

They were over here in the UK too - Peter Cooks had them, as did Guitar Village and a couple of other places...

That's fighting talk where I come from :lol:

Bet you get more 'spring' from the guitar with only having the one pickup now (less string pull). I've just been getting a LP jr and I noticed it had that same 'kerrang' as my old SG jr when you bash out some open chords - I attribute that to the single pickup.

:twisted:

How easy was it to fit the pickup mounting ring?
I've been comtemplating fitting one to my SG Standard. With the pups being mounted to the scratch plate the strings are at an angle over the polepieces of the neck pup. I've tried padding with foam under the scratch plate but can't get the angle right.
Would also make it easier for swapping out pups (no removing of scratchplate, tune-o-matic bridge...)

Cheers!

Nah, because by having a BKP in it, it shows that the user knows something about guitar tone :twisted:

I really like that shade of Blue :)

looks really cool for an SG

what are all the controls doing with one pickup - i suppose the most obvious answer is to wire the humucker like two single coils with seperate volume and tone controls

AdamB · « **Reply #12 on:** September 07, 2007, 01:12:01 PM »

Thanks guys!

BM - The 61 reissues come with pickup rings so i can't really answer your question, sorry

Brow - i love that shade of blue too :D

WezV - They are not doing anything really, except the other volume control still works, so if i put the pickup selector in the middle position, i can set a rhythm volume :) Strange eh?!

That guitar looks amazing!

I really like it. I'd really like to pimp my SG though, but my decisiveness has went out the window recently. Can't make up my mind about what I want to do with my guitars
