  • (Almost) NGD

    Well, having found this as pretty much a 'wood only' guitar about 2 months ago, I'm at a stage now where I've finally got everything ready, wired up, assembled, installed etc ready for a professional setup.

    Its a '99 SG.....complete with all the 'playing' marks and yellowed binding you'd expect from an 11 year old guitar - perhaps a few too many marks, but all tiny so no damage to the vulnerable parts of a gibson.

    The finish on these things is thin++. Its certainly no thick poly.... the clear is rippled from sinking into the wood pores. I don't remember the '94 LP standard I used to own being this light on with the finish, but I'm sure it will let the wood breathe.

    I wanted to be a bit different to most other SG's, hence the zebra pups. A C8 and PG as recommended by the SD forum.

    Hope you all like

    Nice!!! I love SG`s and yours looks great! Awesome and under-rated guitars imo.
    Changing power tubes really doesn’t change the tone of the amp as much as people think-John Suhr
    And anyway, the real tonal differences in amps come from the circuit design, not the tubes-John Phillips

      Beauty of a guitar, man. Enjoy it.

            Awesome! Maybe you could put some nickel covers on it for that classy look. And maybe some strings too .
            There seem to be a lot of people buying SG's lately!

                I'll see whether I like the look 100% after playing it a bit (and of course looking at myself in the mirror at the same time!!!).
                The nickel covers muffle tone too, so it will happen only if the tone is too bright
