Snowed in with the new SG

Re: Snowed in with the new SG

I noticed some SG's have the fret board going all the way up to the neck pickup. Would that be a 24 fret SG?
I have my eye on a double neck white SG...someday.. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Next to the pots, what are the little holes for? One of the pots on a guitar of mine has a hole there and I always wondered why.

Man my jaws dropped when I saw that. Sweet guitar.

Did you get that on EBAY? I saw an ad for one last week. The dweebs were bidding low and then someone with smarts BINned it. I knew it wouldn't last.

1986? isn't that from when gibbo were going bust and producing the lowest quality guitars they ever made?

[/ QUOTE ] Actually, it's the Norlin era of Gibson that's thought to have struggled quality wise. That era ended in January 1986, then they built my guitar [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Companies always raise the quality of the product as high as they can when they're looking to sell the factory. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Looks like you got it at the perfect time! Once again, she's absolutely gorgeous!

Not all the Norlin-era Gibsons are bad. I have a bitchin'
1977 Les Paul Standard that I bought new in February 1978 as a self-birthday present. It's a beautiful axe, plays like a dream and sounds great too.

BTW, AWESOME SG Custom you've got there, man!

Re: Snowed in with the new SG

I bought a Cherry colored one back in about 76.

I think it was a '69 or something. It came with one of those big honk'n whammy bars which I took off. I also took off the pick up covers because they color the sound.

After that the guitar was great - my favorite of all the Gibsons. Great necks.

Frank Marino played one and so did Zappa.

Sweet axe man!
I had one and ran into some money problems, so I wound up selling it, I kick my sell all the time for it.
