New ROUND guitar day..... Of all the things to type....

Re: New ROUND guitar day..... Of all the things to type....

That looks and sounds great, right in front of those Marshalls, where it should be!

I was expecting a 6 string banjo

Awesome

Classic pointy axe

Played it a lot more tonight. It needs a better pickup.
I am finding the 490 a bit shrill.... maybe underpowered.
I ordered a tb6 from mastaC can't wait to solder that into this. It does play very well btw. I found a lot of good notes at my concert tonight...in the garage... I figured about 5k ppl showed up, sounded pretty good once I dialed the amp in to fit this guitars profile.
Good night indeed.

SGs are probably my favorite guitars overall. I have two of them and most of my other guitars are really similar, like Les Pauls or ES's or my new V. When I'm at a local show seeing bands I've never heard of and somebody steps on stage with an SG I pretty much expect them to be good. If I'm in a similar situation and they take the stage with thinline Telecasters or bad 90s metal axes I get apprehensive.

Swapped the tuners out with new Grovers today.

I think it looks so much better, and it will certainly stay in tune better.

I should have put this here instead of OT.

Spa-upgrade day for the Gibsons.
The faded V got new tuners....

Installed TB-6 into my SG. Added some red/black speed knobs, turned the main Volume into Dime styled traction knob with the help of my soldering iron.

I happened to get a real quick raw track recorded before and after the pickup swap for S and G's

See if you can hear the subtle differences in this short, completely unedited clip.

So, how's it sound with the Distortion through the stacks?
