It is one of those I am strung with 10s but I play like I have 9s guitars.

In terms of sound it has the same pickups as my ML R9 (Custombucker Alnico 3 unpotted) so I compared the two. The Les Paul has more beef but the SG has some angry upper mids to highs that bite. Pretty much exactly what I expect and what I frankly wanted.

You know that some of that difference is dur to pickups position ?

Nice color! Haven't seen one like that before, and it's a beauty.

Um, you weren't screwing around. Fantastic.

I love my goldtop LP but frankly, the SGs get more play.

Very cool. That looks like a '61 neck. Custom shop I trust, looks like heavy aging. If not too intrusive, did you buy new or find a deal on a used one?
