    JS Moore pickups - Eureka!

    I just replaced the stock 490R/498T pickups in my new SG Standard with custom wound humbuckers from JS Moore in Ontario and my guitar sounds spectacular. Background: I confess, I'm a Fender/Gretsch guy at heart. I love teles and have 4 of them, along with a Gretsch Black Phoenix. My recently...

    Old vs New 57 Classics

    Thanks for the input folks. I solved my Old vs New 57s problem by buying something else entirely. I contacted Jon Moore, pickup winder extraordinaire in Ontario, and asked him to spin me up a set of vintage paf's. I have one of Jon's humbuckers in my tele and it sounds glorious so I'm looking...

    Old vs New 57 Classics

    Hello All. I'm eyeballing some used 57 Classics which are being described by the seller as "the first 57 Classics put out by Gibson". I seem to recall reading somewhere that the earliest versions of this pickup are to be avoided, or are subpar compared to the later models. Is there any truth...

    NGD - Cherry Standard

    Tweedy vs. Standard Actually, I wasn't specifically or exclusively concerned about resale value, although it certainly isn't lost on me that red Standards are all over ebay whereas if I were to buy the Tweedy it will certainly be more of a rarity. Complicating matters is that I absolutely love...

    NGD - Cherry Standard

    Standard vs Tweedy The more I play my new red Standard the more certain I am that I made the right choice. I think I ultimately prefer the Standard because the neck is a little chunkier. The Tweedy's neck is also unfinished which didn't work for me. I always have this problem. I bought a...

    NGD - Cherry Standard

    Honestly, I'm still second guessing leaving that Tweedy behind and its not too late to return my Standard for it, so let me know your thoughts. Ultimately,l the Standard just felt right, even if the Tweedy looked right.

    Quintessential SG-Amp combo

    Ah, but it's all about the discussion, ain't it? For 90% of the content on forums such as this there is no RIGHT answer, just opinions. And it's from discussions such as this one that I start having insane thoughts like..."A Hiwatt? Of course I need a Hiwatt!".

    Quintessential... Ha ha! Awesome pic! Maybe this thread should evolve into "pics of me with my SG through a Marshall".

    Quintessential SG-Amp combo

    Hello All. I'm new to the forum and although I don't currently own a SG I hope that will change this weekend. I've got a couple of my guitars up for sale and intend to spend the cash on a SG Standard. Once upon a time I owned a SG Special (Pewter, which looked more like battle ship grey). I...
