This is my "holy grail": 74 Gibson SG Standard. I like these guitars so much I have two of them. Still relatively affordable. Cherry or walnut stain, mahogany, ebony fingerboard, tarback pickups, harmonica bridge and the fastest, most comfortable neck I've ever played on. Here's one in cherry for about $2K USD -

+1 - I have a 74 as well...At least I think it is...My pots are dated 73 so it could be a 73 or 74...Looks exactly like the one in your link....


Another one of my Holy Grails is a Silverburst Les Paul Custom......Could not believe it one day when I saw one in the store...I had to try it out...But what blew me away....It just did not sound good compared to other Pauls in the store..I swear...Also price was not so nice either......

Jackson will make you a Custom Shop for a better price. They've also started a "semi-custom" setup where you can tweak production model specs without going full-on custom.

Oooooooh… They're getting closer and closer to building that SweeTone for me, then.
