Oh wow! Thats thick, well Im not super obssessed over neck shapes, Im mostly only familiar with slim tapers and Strat necks. Its just the neck felt thicker than a slim taper and felt nothing like my SGs at home, I have small hands so it was noticeably different in feel for me.
The Pearloid Dots on the neck edges impressed me much. Great feel, didnt feel fragile at all, I didnt mind the baseball bat C shape neck either, definitely had a much more reinforced headstock/neck feel. Action was superb most certainly so. I didn’t like the nylon saddles much but it played very...
I own a 2019 SG Standard ‘61, and absolutely love it, no complaints at all, and have to say its the better sounding SG I own. Fortunately I’ve had the pleasure to play the Gibson Custom Shop ‘61 Les Paul SG Stopbar Reissue back at Gibson Garage and Chicago Music Exchange with the exact curiosity...
Enjoy! I know I did! SG, SG, SG, SG, and more SG's.....and one great lookin' Barney Kessel!

the headliner reads "Ethnic Minority" what does a picure of a "Child", "Disabled", "Blind", "Police", "Elderly" have to do with ethnicity? I am asking, because I am a minority and am curious to that assessment.
no one still has answered my question of how any minority is considered a protected class as the OP headlined it or have I been misinformed all my years on this planet?
Here is my SG with Telecaster knobs. Theyre heavier than regular plastic, believe theyre some kinda bakelite/resin material, they feel sturdy, and not cheap with real metal inserts thats cold to the touch and closer to the original Gibson witch hats sans the missing 0 and the screw parts.
Exactly this what Cerebral Gasket posted:

A descriptive difference is, the two fonts of the vol./tone text and the numbers which were narrower, numbers were white colored not silver and the brim of the knobs had...
