Thanks Smitty. Its a lefty SG set up with a standard righty tuning. I just play that upside down.

Dear SG friends One more of my special ghostnotes solo guitar style.

I hope its ok to post one selfs playing on an SG once in a while: I wanted for so long to record my solo guitar version on this song. "Love for Sale" is a song by Cole Porter introduced by Kathryn Crawford in the musical The New Yorkers, which opened on Broadway on December 8, 1930 and closed...

Yes, I hear that the 490´s are more mid and narrow sounding (less bass and less crystal highs - good for drive) and 57 more open sounding with more bass and high freq for pleasant cleans. With a good eq tweaking on a drive pedal the 57 can get nearly the same mid, anyhow. It´s harder to tweak...

You don´t write your style, but for me, that need a full, clean and sweet sound, it helped to switch to 57 both PU´s. They work for drive chrunch up to blues lead as well. I use this POLE PIECE height setup: https://hazeguitars.com/blog/how-to-set-pickup-pole-piece-height

Thanks a lot Smitty and DrBGood :-)

I would like to present the flip side of my blues/jazz playing. A standard tunes. "I Remember You". There is some room ambience from the Iphone, but in a way I like that better than recording to PC so all the ghost notes and finger sounds can be heard..

Yes, if you are experienced. Still I know a lot of players who don´t do that, and change this and that for a lot of money and to no avail. But then again most likely, it might not be the case for DC Guitars..

Before spending so much money, have you tried to make your "cheap SG" sound and play better checking the SG specs ? If not, I recommend you learn the way to do it (you tube) or make a luthier do it. I mean, no matter which price and year built it matters the same: Truss rod adjustement , string...

...and my last post : Here its obvious that Les Paul plays the LP. Very tight and deep sounding.

One more where Les Paul shows with an SG. Don´t know if he actually plays it, though. I might be getting very old and sentimental . I just love Marys singing..

Thanks for that moving story !

Here is the picture showing the SG. I guess a lot of the lead playing belongs to Mary. Bless Paul and Mary

Here is a track where I think I hear the mid switch sound of SG. Very strat-like but more open. The overall sound is a little more "loose" than a LP would sound. Im more and more sure that he is using the SG on this album..

Maybe he made a whole album with it ? If you do a search you´ll find all tracks. Absolute fantastic !

:lol:

Thanks for all the fine answers. Please keep them coming !

Hi SG friends Im a new SG player, new to the forum here, and works a lot with the mid PU position. It might have been up here , but I would love to hear your experience with it. Where and how do you use it ?

My shoulders are not the broadest, so the guitar just slide down, so it is more awkward for me. BUT , Yes, I have stashed it now and bought another with 2 straps.

Hi Abaiding: I played that way before I even knew that A. King had played lefty upside down years before me.
