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.

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:

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?

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:
