interesting offer... but i would have to offload my SG-90 first... currently my budget stretches only to a Yamaha 311H... which is only around $325.

ya this is cool... but its like the only SG in existence from factory like this... also msrp in 2014 was $1.1k? tho i cant remember what i was doing in 2014...i do know i wouldn't have spent so much... instead getting a SGJ the yr before for only around $575 new.

just wondering why... but over the years and decades...Gibson has released quite a few LPs with that combo... was apparently a popular mod too back then too... even other brands have something similar... so ya i have GAS for a similar SG... ya i know u can put in a humbucker sized p90... but...

yes those I'm aware of.. after that iirc around 06-08..the MIC models had veneers that almost matched the body grain...

i don't have either... but I've always liked the dirty fingers version... anyway the emg81... tighter low end...so not really boomy... which i guess is more dirty fingers territory...

get the ebony. the veneers wouldn't bug me that much if the grain was more honduran...kinda like the actual epi body which i believe is probably still Lauan... i remember at one point the epi sg vintage had a batch with veneers that almost matched the simpler body grain... instead of the...

my SGs all have the original pickups that came with them... tarbacks and '57 classics... another has EMGs in them cos it didn't come fully original and had some dimarzio in them.

ya, Schaller made in Germany...more commonly known as a Floyd Rose 2. and well i got it refinished, factory color is Alpine White... but i got this used sometime mid-00s and it smelt of beer and ciggies... turned a deep inconsistent yellow with exposed wood here and there especially over the...
