-
Cool! Congratulations! Yep, a +1 on the chrome covers.
-
Bee-yoo-tee-ful!
I've been a Fender guy all my life, but I just LOVE the look of the SG series. Dunno why, it's just that way.
-
the SG is my all time favorite guitar. though i would prefer a standard or custom.i love binding and blocks.
-
Congratulations Bryan!
See Uwe's Surprise! thread here in the Guitar Section.

I like 'em better just like that--black!
Tho I admit the silver ones look great on the Elliot Easton Sig SG.
Sure would LOVE to get this one:

Dang, that Ebay SG have everything I love - chrome, the right color of blue, and lotsa "stuff"!!

Decided I like black on black with black pickups best when I found this lefty:

Just offered 7 hun & asked if I can pick it up & skip shipping tooo
-
thats a sweet southpaw. a friend of mine has a righty just like it. 7 bills is reasonable.
-
Might have to go 7 something or even the full 850.
Whatever~ I've always wanted that Tony Iommi Heavy Metal vibe.
Glad he's got it up there for a good long while.
I'm not broke...I'm just in between money. :D
Should get some in time to get this!
How do you like yours by now, Skate Rat?
You playin' thru a good amp or what?
-
man mine rules. i've been using a Bogner twin(with the G blacked out so it says boner.) its my bandmates but it rules.

I'm a little late to this conversation I guess. But I reacted much the same way when:
1) I saw Avril Lavigne's tele... black with a checker pg. I quickly took the checker pg off of my black melody maker. I didn't even want a similar vibe to that.
and
2) When I saw the squire signature tele of that guy from Sum 41. It looks almost exactly like my '72 reissue deluxe. I'll just make sure not to put big red x's on it.

Nice score! I had a similar SG Special. I liked those 490s, so I kept 'em and soldered on some nickel covers. I had also polished mine out with Butchers bowling alley wax to give the faded finish some lustre:

The Yamaha SG's have binding & are damn good axes, I'm told.

I've never seen one southpaw tho.
-
mines not a faded. its got a nice finish. 8)
-
those Yammys are yummy.i love the white one! but what i love about SG's is the body bevel.same reason the Ripper's my favorite bass
-
Our guitarist Leo has a Yammy SG 3000 anniversary model in Sunburst. Lovely guitar and sounds excellent IMHO.
-
Yamaha SGs don't even look like Gibson SGs. They're more like double cutaway LPs.
-
They sound and feel like a LP as opposed to an SG as well.
-
Looks like I'm gettin' the SG from up the road for 8 hun.
May be gettin' a Washburn acoustic with Florentine cutaway too.
Florentine cutaways are VERY rare in lefty!
I love axes!! Somebody STOP me! hahaa
-
The seller of the Washburn told me he just took it to an Open Mic & some fool knocked it over & broke the neck off! Alas
The seller of the SG just relisted it for $799.
He may go lower in a week or 2.
Just made up some new lyrics:
Don't count your money til you get paid
Don't count your chicks until they're laid
& Don't count your axes til they've been played!
