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.

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:

Title: Re: new Gibson SG for me! oh yeah.
Post by: Rhythm N. Bliss on August 23, 2009, 03:48:40 AM: 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!

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 SG is my all time favorite guitar. though i would prefer a standard or custom.i love binding and blocks.

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

Post by: SKATE RAT on August 24, 2009, 12:11:30 AM: mines not a faded. its got a nice finish. 8)

Post by: SKATE RAT on August 24, 2009, 12:13:22 AM: 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
Title: Re: new Gibson SG for me! oh yeah.
Post by: Freuds_Cat on August 24, 2009, 03:25:10 AM: Our guitarist Leo has a Yammy SG 3000 anniversary model in Sunburst. Lovely guitar and sounds excellent IMHO.
Title: Re: new Gibson SG for me! oh yeah.
Post by: Dave W on August 24, 2009, 07:40:37 AM: Yamaha SGs don't even look like Gibson SGs. They're more like double cutaway LPs.
Title: Re: new Gibson SG for me! oh yeah.
Post by: Freuds_Cat on August 24, 2009, 03:44:43 PM: They sound and feel like a LP as opposed to an SG as well.
Title: Re: new Gibson SG for me! oh yeah.
Post by: Rhythm N. Bliss on August 31, 2009, 07:09:24 AM: 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
Title: Re: new Gibson SG for me! oh yeah.
Post by: Rhythm N. Bliss on September 04, 2009, 11:02:18 PM: 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!
