Getting Started


Since I had one SG Special already (faded brown), I decided to get another SG Special, this time in worn cherry.  To me the SG Special faded series are a good value (ie, lot of guitar for the money), quite playable, and sound good - at least with the Gibson 490 humbuckers.  Time would tell for the conversion's sound.

P90 pickups are available from many companies.  Gibson of course, started the design, so I decided to use the honest-to-Pete Gibson's.

Look at that bent thing!  This was a brand new sealed Gibson pickup... AND it was the least bent of the two I got!  Some surgery was in order.  Sorry folks, I didn't take pictures during the surgery.
