SG appreciation thread

[Godspeed64]

I realized.. There ain't any Edwards eh?
Too many Gibsons in this thread.. That I wouldn't wanna show my Epi..

 

[niteblade]

lol duuuuuuuude! theres a epi custom and a epi iommi!

dont worry. we all love sgs. no discrimination

 

[Godspeed64]

Maybe soon.. Just maybe!

 

[niteblade]

aiyoh, here we go again...but i dont mind

heh just wondering. which baby gets the most attention and playing-time from you?

 

[Godspeed64]

Mine!

Its an Epiphone Faded G-400.. Modded to Mighty Mite Vintage Buckers (coil tapped) and Gotoh hardware, skillfully set up and prepared by Beez!

The finish is not that bright actually.. Its much much darker, just that the camera flash makes it stand out more..

 

[DjThugs]

i used to have 1 of these...but sold it off.

its a tie between the SG Classic w/ P-90s and the SG in the lower right with floyd rose.

 

[Godspeed64]

I feel like getting an SG with P-90s too!
Either that or an Edwards LP or an Ibanez PGM..

 

[niteblade]

how does the p90's sound? say compared to a single coil

i HEARD that it generates alot of hum like single coils; is that true?

 

[Dime]

it is supposed to sound like single coil.i think.

 

[lightice]

a P90 is a single coil pickup.

 

[Everdying]

a P-90 is a pissed off single coil...think SRV.

i posted this b4, but here it is again.
a vintage SG special w/ P-90s played by one of the everythingsg.com admins.
YouTube - Slow Blues

 

[niteblade]

lol amazing

he was using his bridge pickups all along or what?

 

[Godspeed64]

Thread revival! Anyone with an SG Classic?
Still wondering if I should get one of these..
The fact that it's discontinued is causing me to think deeper!

 

[Godspeed64]

Thread revival part 2!

My SGs!

New stuff (Gibson SG Standard)

And the old Spartan (Epiphone G-400 Faded, modded to MightyMite Vintage Buckers)

 

[Everdying]

the one on the left...
a epi faded? good thing u got one b4 they lost the fretboard binding.

oh yea, i got a SG Classic

 

[Godspeed64]

Yeah.. The Epi faded is still a pleasure to play nowadays.. Fatter sounding and loves fuzz!
The Gibbie is more of an OD/mild fuzz kinda guy, better for blues..

I was GASsing for a Classic up until I got the Standard! Thanks for all your help dood! (I PMed you a lot regarding this).. Tried a few Standards, but I settled for this one.. A pre-2000 piece which feels worlds apart from the other Standards I've tried!

And bro Everdying, you should try the Gibson-of-the-week SG Standard with 3 single coils.. Nice tone; not very SG, but a good tone in itself (definitely not Fender sound as well).. Almost bought that one! :mrgreen:

actually another one that i want is the SG-3, the one with 3 humbuckers.
'57 classic+ and dual '57 classics...how much better can it get...
plus has a 60s slim taper neck...
its more '61 reissue than standard...and at the same price as the standard...such a good value.

only drawback to me is the weird chicken knob selector...but that can be replaced with a trad toggle anyway.

 

[Godspeed64]

Yeah.. Like the SG version of a Black Beauty..
Edwards has something similar to that as well, as in 3 hums..

The chickenhead knob is on the single coil SG.. You're referring to it being on the SG-3 too?

And for more info, I tried the single coil SG at Blackwood Guitars in Singapore.. The pickup wiring was changed to give wicked combinations, sometimes sounding even fatter than humbuckers, and at other configs almost a perceptive twang was heard.. :mrgreen:

 

[Everdying]

im also still contemplating ordering a stewmac neck-thru and mahogany body blanks...total cost USD350.
the neck-thru is maple 25.1" scale with ebony board.
then i worry about the body routing later

i wanna do something like this.

i've also gotten someone here who brings in those fake gibson guitars to contact the factory to get me a quote on making that...it better be cheaper than the stewmac option

here are my requests to them.
1. maple neck-thru (very important).
2. 24-fret ebony fretboard.
3. mahogany body.
4. flame maple top.
5. 24.75" scale length.
6. side input jack les paul style.
7. see-thru black finish so can see wood grain.
8. all black hardware.
9. 2 holes for 1 volume / 1 tone.
10. put no electronics or pickup...i will use my own.

the serial number i will put my birthday...pretty demanding rite
