Looking to buy a Custom Shop 69 RI SG

[Rolandc]

Hi!
I'm new on the forum, so firstly I will introduce myself:
My name is Roland and I live in The Netherlands.

I'm currently in the market for a second hand guitar and stumbled on a 2004 SG (Yamano) '67 Reissue Historic Custom Shop.
I've already tested the guitar and it plays & sounds phenomenal.

The only thing I want to check is if the price is right, seller is asking €2500,-
Do you guys think this is a reasonable price for a second hand CS?

Thank you in advance.

Welcome to da zoo Roland.

I don't have a clue of it's value, but that's a real beauty. If you buy it, we'll expect a full report with tons of pictures and a sound clip if possible

Welcome! I'd say that's along the lines of the prices people ask for 2nd hand CS reissues. Of course, I'd try to talk the price down a bit Looks like the Maestro vibrola has a good angle too.

Interesting enough, for being a 1969 reissue it does not have the same neck joint as my 1969 SG.

Nice! It's already in your avatar. You need it.

I have to be honest, I have never heard of the 69 historic reissue, at least not like that!! Only ones I recall were the ones in the early 90’s with 3 pick ups; looked like the Kirk Douglas without the maestro


How do you like it?

I made a typo in the title (and I don’t know how to change that, it’s a ‘67 Historic RI. (As I described in my first post)
And the guitar is in my avatar because I bought it!! I did need an SG, the only thing I regret is not buying one sooner xD.

Here’s another picture of the guitar in my living room. I had some issues with the Vibrola (as I mentioned in my other post)
luckily those have been solved for now.
I will try to record some audio clips in the coming weeks so you guys can hear this beast!

2500 Euros = $3066 U.S. dollars... I say: "HELL YEAH"
CONGRATS...

Whoa that's a great looking SG. Whats the neck profile like? I prefer batwing SGs, and fat necks. This could tick all the boxes for my next SG...

Cheers, Scott.

Thanks!
Neck profile isn't particularly slim, but also not as thick as my Les Paul with 50's neck profile or my '51 Nocaster 'u' neck profile. I would say just about right! I alway's thought that I only want thick necks as on my other guitars, but I was kinda surprised that I really like this neck shape for an SG. In any case it's a very comfortable neck.

Thanks mate, it looks great.

Couldn’t help myself playing some AC/DC on my new axe. Playing isn’t perfect but what the heck, I had fun doing this cover!
