NGD: Classic

[rockerbilly58]

I saw a Greco version of this recently and I really liked it. Seeing these pics has got me thinking I might go and have another peek at it.

Amazing finish is right!!! Congratulations on a fine NGD!!!!
--I am 1/2 Welsh -- nothing to do with yer fine guitar, but I thought it might be germane to the conversation in regards to the locale of your lovely axe.

Nice guitar. I bought one of those a few years back and really enjoy the P-90 tones you can get out of that beast. The neck is a 60's slim taper, very fast. Another thing I've noticed is that the finish, color, and quality is VERY high for a Gibson in that price range. I changed the tuners to single ring keystones and it never goes out of tune. Just a great guitar that I paid $475 for. The more you play it the more it will grow on you. Good luck, have fun.

Congrats Ivan. Sweet geet!

'Mayhem' in the neck position, 'Anarchy' in the bridge position.

what a good idea... we had a whole thread on this topic a few years ago
and got lots of interesting and not so interesting dichotomies. Yours is one
of the best. My other favorite was Bite/Sting. I also liked the simple Neck/Bridge.

But Anarchy/Mayhem seems particularly appropriate for an SG.
Who made it?

Lovely, congrats!

Sweet guitar Ivan. you'll love the P 90"s tone. Got mine last june.Mine has the perfect fit for my hands. Enjoy your self...

I think I might be missing out on the P-90 experience. I have three SGs now, all with humbuckers (Burstbuckers, 57s, and 490/498). But seeing that I'm at NGD+2, I'll have to wait a little while longer. But not too long...

You are! P90s are a must have. NGD #3 pronto!

Agree 100% with Hammer... jrmullin, You SERIOUSLY NEED P90S!



I have PAFs, 490s and P90s... If I want loud raucous rock n' f***ing roll, the P90s are the shizzle!

Y'know I can't remember Col, it was someone on MLP from Texas but that's all I can recall I'm afraid. It's my age y'know....

Yeah, I've had a few guitars with P90's in the past just never had an SG with P90's. Now I've had the opportunity to mess around with it a little, the SG certainly suits them. It sounds different to all the other P90 guitars I've had; not 'night and day' different but, how can I say this, more controllable. I seem to have found a sweet spot where I can play clean and when I dig in, it dirties up real nice. It's hard to explain but it puts a smile on my face!
