SG Players Come In!!

[Lifehouse]

Same. I thought I was the only one who feels that way. Still cannot get over the neck heavy feeling.

 

[DarknessFury]

Yeah Darkness, he switched out the bridge.

Is it me, or did you add even more stickers to your axe. I see Osiris, of which I am a fan of.

Yea, I added even more stickers, haha...

 

[tinted]

just curious, do you guys prefer the small pickguard version or the bigger one?

 

[DarknessFury]

I think the bigger pickguard version would be the Standard? I would most certainly choose the one with the bigger pickguard...

 

[AlexLee]

Cause I have a LP now. Thinking of upgrading.
Wonder if I should get a SG Custom or the LP Black Beauty.

Wah. I was stunned for a moment. I don't have good impression with Epis (less MIJs). I believe you will do better getting the upcoming PRS Singlecut SE or any MIJ LPs. Make sure the maple is cap, not veneer.

I dun understand the part about the maple being cap or veneer. What does it mean?

 

[tinted]

If im not wrong, veneer is just a thin layer? Whereas real maple cap is about 15mm?

 

[Lifehouse]

Depends on maker. Veneer has not much effect on tone. Cap on the other hand will affect the tone by a good margin.

 

[deathblaze]

ooo i love the SG
mine's a silvertone copy though haha
i prefer the 61' reissue to the Standard
anyone seen an SG with an LP pickguard?

Lifehouse: How much would the PRS Singlecut SE cost?

And what are the Ibanez models within $800?

 

[Hydesg]

any idea where to get the cheapest gibson les paul standard nowadays?


heard the newer models arent as good as those in the 90s

 

[baobaojon]

im an Sg user toO!! haha epiphone tony iommi signature...love the weight and ease to aacess higer frets!~!

 

[subversion]

Thinking of getting another Epiphone or maybe switching to Ibanez. But I kow nothing about Ibanez.

between these to brands, it's not quite a 'switch'. if it's within your means, it's good to own both.

PRS singlecut SE isn't here yet- delayed shipment. as mentioned in GEAR NEWS, it'd be very close to $1K.

$800-$900+ range Ibanez: RG320/ 350/ 370/ SZ320/ 520/ S370/ 470

PRS singlecut SE isn't here yet- delayed shipment. as mentioned in GEAR NEWS, it'd be very close to $1K.

I think should be closer to 1.2K than 1K. But judging solely on specs alone, this will be the best in the whole SE range.

I think should be closer to 1.2K than 1K. But judging solely on specs alone, this will be the best in the whole SE range.

i'm quoting $1K because the dealer said so, in any case, it'll be $900++ unless there's something inflating the price when these finally reach our shores.

best looks doesn't equal best tone. i was really skeptical with the Tremonti SE with its endorser affiliation & much hyped reputation but having tried the guitar, the tone & playability just prove worthy. see if the singlecut SE can pip the former.

 

[Lifehouse]

Hopefully so. Sub 1k price tag would really be a deal sweetener.

 

[imsuchajoker]

Its going to davis am i right?
Yeah man 1K and below would diefinetly do it for me

 

[subversion]

$800-$900+ range Ibanez: RG320/ 350/ 370/ SZ320/ 520/ S370/ 470

forgot to add SAS36/ 32 to the list... 8)

yes- Davis.

i was taken aback by the sub-$1K quote also, but there's very little technical difference between the Tremonti SE & the Singlecut SE, just some cosmetics, hence the affordable price tag. hope this initial quote isn't about to change...

 

[DarknessIsComfort]

sorry to hijack but since ur talkin bout davis...do u guys noe the price range for LTD deluxe models...?man the m-1000 is major gas.... :smt055
