[Sunrisenblues]

i am getting tired of the whole metal sound from my emg...
any recommandations for my sg?
i am looking for that agnus young..70 rocks kind of sound??
i was thinking of getting the seth lover set...whats the best combo and stuff?
please advice

 

[Plastic]

^ Not too hard to achieve Angus Young's sound, just get a huge ass cranked up Marshall, all his guitars are stock.

New thought, thought of installing a trem on the SG, any to recommend? I'm leaning towards bigsby.

 

[Everdying]

bigsby is a pain in the ass to restring.
maestro - i got one with it, but it lacks abit of body / sustain...but looks nicer

 

[Plastic]

Bigsby got more mojo :mrgreen:

 

[KeDraiv]

any idea how a SG with a bigsby trem will sound like?

the only demo i can find off a bigsby trem on youtube is by this wacky guy, lol.

plastic bro...lol how easy is it to order stuff from ishibashi store online??
i cant seem to find the sg classic

 

[Dime]

somehow im only able to find sg specials.

 

[Everdying]

the SG classics i seen are usually in the u-box section...but not often as since they are US domestic models...

 

[Plastic]

Yep, keep a lookout on the ubox, once you see it, email them. Then it is still there, then they'll reply you with instructions. Or you could go through musicians friend, but that I'm not sure how.
Good luck on your search.

 

[Rhizopus]

so many SG being put up in buy/sell section. No love for SG anymore?

 

[Plastic]

Maybe it's the seasonal period of SGs.

Is this guitar nice looking?

Looks cool to me

 

[niteblade]

all you sg owners!

what string gauges are your babies using?

 

[Godspeed64]

Something by Minarik? I think it is hideous.. Lol.. Sorry..
Just ain't my cup of tea.. And this is kinda an SG Appreciation thread.. :mrgreen:

Anyways, gauge 10's for all my babies! Lol

 

[niteblade]

ahah cool. im thinking of swapping from 9 to 10

have you tired 9s?

 

[Godspeed64]

My Gibbie came in 9's.. Kinda shiok to bend..
But the attack dynamics.. Kinda had less "feeling"..
So I've been using 10's since then! My other guitarist kinda followed using 10s after he tried em..

 

[Phanto]

10s. they feel the best for me.

 

[Plastic]

I'm using .9 slinkies, but probably changing them soon when I get a proper set up to .10s.
