I really, really love those ones! I hop my girlfriend buys this one once, or the SG-3. faded white and three pick ups.

Even Paul Weller has one, but he never uses it live. I guess he finds it too much over the top:)

I like it.  They had a version of that with a Vibrola that really made me drool:

Those MIK Epis ain't too shabby.  I wouldn't mind one of their Sheraton IIs someday, for a 335-ish type of voice.

Of course I also wouldn't mind being able to play guitar better first!  Working on that.  :)

Is that different from the tone sucking vibrola I'm familiar with?  ;D

That's him.  Otherwise, it would be Michael Bruce, but I think he used a standard SG.
