lets see your guts!!! I have a Gibson SG 400 i just picked up and when i took off the back plate i saw this id just like to see if anyone else has nice clean wireing like this in there SG! I realy dont think this is from the factory! but who knows it is a mid 80's Gibson!
HEY why did this get moved its suposed to be SG related right??? the double cut is cool but i want to see the guts of SG's!!!! whats up TNT???? that desert heat gettin to ya! all love my man make it back safe!
He moved it cause this is a good reference for people wondering what their control cavity is supposed to look like. Hence the reference section.
mine was of a 65 melody maker that I thought had neat looking guts. I edited the original post to include what it was. If I have a shot of the guts on my sg standard I'll post later.

I know a Melody Maker can look like an SG, or a slab LP, or a DC. I think it eventually became more like a stripped down flat LP.

[/quote] The MM began life as a sort of cheaper thinner version of the LP Junior, went to double cutaway around 1962 and then to the SG shape in 1966. I'm sure Axmaker can fill in all the details. :)
SG-200 guts: Thought I may as well post this as I was getting the six digit code from the pots, to find out when it was made.

[/quote] ORF, I too have a 65 MM. however, the previous owner had done the following mods: 2x humbuckers [unknown brand, but they sound GREAT!] changed 1 pc wrap bringe, instead installed a TOM/STOP combination [much better playability/intonation made custom pickguard to accomodate all the above changes. collectability= zilch PLAYability= a ZILLION! I have a pic of it somewhere but don't know how to post pics on the forum..
Lakehaus What do you think about the Shepton? I've ordered a Tribute set after recommendations from my repairguy.
[quote author=8-ball link=topic=17277.msg238129#msg238129 date=1250624457] Lakehaus What do you think about the Shepton? I've ordered a Tribute set after recommendations from my repairguy. [/quote] That's exactly what these are. The bridge is a BK Trib PAF (zebra), the neck is a regular ol' Trib. I had stock BBs, 57s, Seth Lovers and WCRs in my other Gibsons and the Sheptones are on par with the WCRs (I had goodwood / darkburst). I have to admit, the BBs sound pretty damn good in my ES175 - I pulled those pups and the elex from my LPR8 (they're coupled with a set of PIO Bumble Bees). Back to the Sheps - woody, articulate, clarity across the spectrum... a top notch set of pups... those, the pots and Russian PIOs really brought the SG to life after 33 years of laying around playing 2nd fiddle. Now I play it all the time. Good luck with yours. I think you'll agree with my assessment once you install and plug in.
