SG appreciation thread

Why not P90s man? :mrgreen:

I'm just awaiting the email from Ishibashi to see if they still have the SG classic!

 

[niteblade]

ahaha i love the fat humbucker tone. the bridge roars and the neck has a nice jazzy vibe

 

[Plastic]

Hopefully incoming.

 

[Godspeed64]

Wth!!! How come you got the limited edition Sahasrara!!!
Wah I want one man..
Oh and P90s are fat sounding also mah.. Almost as fat as a humbucker, and as clear as a single coil.. Wah shiok..

And Plastic, that sure is beautiful!

 

[Plastic]

Hell yeah, I was almost considering the Edwards semi-hollow guitars, till I saw this earlier today ! Damn, I hope they still have it in stock.

Everdying: any idea how to shave the neck heel of SGs?

Everdying: any idea how to shave the neck heel of SGs?

with sandpaper

 

[bin4christ]

really? man that must take a lot of effort n time. n then after that must repaint? what side effects does this bring?

ps: i think from this question u know my username at everythingsg liao

 

[Everdying]

yea repaint.
no side effects.
original '61's had very nice neck body joints, then right after that they changed it to that slight block/step that u see nowadays at the back.
the '61 VOS has the same old style neck joint.

of cos u can sand the heel then also sand it all over and give it a oiled finish like this one.

[bin4christ]

ah i see, so tt's the work of sandpaper. really no side effects? like weaken the joint n hence the neck n such?

 

[Everdying]

well ur going to do it on ur stagg rite?
if the neck falls off then buy another stagg

 

[bin4christ]

yeah i was thinking of doing on the stagg. the neck joint reaches like the 17th fret? but still considering lah. i working on my strat copy now. if u shave off the neck heel i gotta repaint the whole guitar? is it possible to just paint that part?

Guys.. Should I get a Bigsby for my Epiphone?

http://www.guitarcenter.com/Bigsby-B5-Flat-Top-Solid-Body-Bridge---Gibson-Style-300203-i1322868.gc

If yes, is this the model I should consider?
I've been GASsing for far too long for any kind of movable bridge, be it a simple tremolo or whammy madness.. Instead of getting a new guitar like an RG or something (sadly, I'm attracted to them despite the uncomfortable necks imo, must get used to it), I thought "Hey! Why not do something to my SG?"

Plus Everdying's SG with that floyd induced more GASSSSSSSSSSS! :mrgreen:

 

[Plastic]

Go for it man, I'll want to do that too, sometime in the near future.

 

[Everdying]

dont get a bigsby.
they are a pain in the ass to restring, floyds are much easier in comparison.
actually floyds ARE easy to restring.

get a maestro / lyre instead.

or just rout it for a floyd
