I picked up a used Orville Sg a while back. From what I can tell this is a made in Japan 62 reissue. I just dropped a JB and Jazz set in it, needless to say it sounds great! Image1461373538.221991.jpg

Nice trio! I've always kept an eye out for Orvilles on CL. They seem like good "upgrade" platforms. Enjoy.

Great guitar, great pickups............enjoy!
 
Re: NGD Orville by Gibson Sg

Congratulations. Those are outstanding ****ing guitars. In terms of craftsmanship, better built than anything Gibson has churned out of their standard production factory since the '60's. I used to have a Japanese Epi like yours. I had it for over 10 years, but I eventually sold it to my bandmate due to redundancy and having too many damned guitars in general. I regret it every time he plays it in from of me. Point being, realize what a score you've probably got there, and don't let it go easily. I know I've posted this shot a dozen times, but here it is again, because it's one of the only photos I have of the thing. It's the one on the left obviously:

That Orville looks fantastic. I'd rock that anytime. Also, I think nickel covers on the pickups would really make it pop and stand out. It would be classy and mean. You don't have nickel on the others, so it would be a great contrast.

ItsaBass.....that piece of mahogany on your Epi is just sick. It looks so amazing. I hope it sounds as good as it looks.

I've got nickel covers on order, i just got impatient and put the pickups in for now

That looks damn sweet, I've nearly pulled the trigger several times over the years. It makes a for a nice threesome.
