I remember that Tommy in Throwdown used to play one. Check out the website I found today www.everythingsg.com for some info on it.

Those specs are all me!! It sounds as though it has the `59 neck and it has a 500T, that thing has to be loud and smokin with just that pickup in it. Jack.

This one is an SG 1, but I'm told it's the same specs as the X.

24 frets, one hum (500T, I believe), nice chunky SG neck. She's a screamer.

Na, i dunno why it has the I designation on the truss-rod cover, but thats an X.

and it just so happens, i've been diggin these X's as well!

Re: Gibson SG-X ??

I think you're right. On that "everythingSG" site, the pic they have of the SGX is this very guitar. If you look close, the photo there also says "I" on the truss rod cover.

Re: Gibson SG-X ??

i own an SG-X and it's one hell of a kick ass guitar!! the neck is fatter than a typical SG (similar to a 50s LP but not 100% the same). it fits your hand real well and is one of the most comfortable gibson necks i've found. plus they tend to sound a little thicker/darker than a typical SG...some say it's due to the extra wood left from no neck pickup and the fatter neck, which i guess makes some sence. anyway, i love mine. i modded it a bit as you can see...



oh and all the SG-Xs heve the "I" (roman numeral 1) on the truss rod cover. a bit silly IMO so i replaced mine with a blank cover.

Re: Gibson SG-X ??

hey yeah! nice guitar!

Hey tom, its a thing to know, they also made another SG-X model run in '99, which had a pickguard and a cover that said "SG-X", so thats maybe why people think yours is different, when in fact, its the 1st SG-X.

man, what a mouthful, i spat out, sorry!

Re: Gibson SG-X ??

Big Black on the Seymour Duncan forum has an SG-X for sale or trade. Let him know it looks like a nice one!

Re: Gibson SG-X ??

Is the Tommy Hilfiger model the same thing? it just looks like a logo? Thanks-Jack.

Re: Gibson SG-X ??

yeah that tommy one on ebay is the same as mine just with an ugly ass HUGE Tommy logo on it. a refin or some big stickers would fix that LOL.

Re: Gibson SG-X ??

As funny as this sounds, the Tommy Hilfiger logo would cheapen the SG-X to me, instead of making it more "collectable". [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
