Something Cool
[PENDING]
The following guitar and I have decided to see other people.
Me and SGs are just not going to happen.
(disclaimer: I do more than amateur photography. The following
pictures have been adjusted for true color representation and have
been shot in good light. No editing to hide dings or other details
has been done. The guitar will look like this is you open my package
in good light, but it will not look like this in a gloomy cellar.
Unedited photos available or I can bring out the Powershot if you like)
1997 black SG standard
Currently has WCR darkbursts mounted. These are PAF-style boutique
pickup and pretty hard-hitting, thicker than most. I think they suit
the SG very well.

Fresh fret level/dress/polish done early 2009 and beautiful fingerboard:

Thingies has the ABR bridge, that means narrow bridge and the posts go
directly into the wood, it doesn't use the metal anchors in the
guitar's top:

I have a total of 4 pickguards:
- black Gibson original 4-ply
- black allparts 3-ply
- one creme WD music currently mounted
- one creme WD music sealed
To change pickups in this thing you have to take the TOM off. My plan
always was to cut up one of the spare pickguard so that you can put it
on and off without messing with the bridge. It's probably worth it.
Also in this pictures is an aluminium tailpiece, the one that Stew-mac
sells.
Pricing:
- $800 no pickups, one pickguard, with case
- $750 no pickups, one pickguard, no case
- $1000 with the WCR darkbursts, one pickguard + case
- if you buy the guitar any additional pickguard is $15
- if you buy the guitar the light tailpiece is $20
- $1050 package with WCRs, case, all pickguards and both tailpieces
Other pickups available:
- pair of covered 490R/498T
- pair of double black 490R/490T
- newish DC double black no logo
