Why so many threads? Nice guitars though. I'm also a fan of covering all the bases, then settling into them.

Re: The kids...
Tell us more about the SG's please!
Pickups? Birthdate?
Old enough to carry aluminum tailpieces stock?

Indeed. Just delete the other ones and post the pics here again.
You do have nice collection there.

For some reason, the site was only letting me upload 5 at a time. It's probably user error on my part.

The wine red SG is a '79 Standard and totally stock. I've had the frets replaced, but that's the only thing that she's had done to her. The white SG is a '76 (I think) Standard which was originally a tobacco, but looked like a truck had run over her. She was missing part of the top horn, the jack area was destroyed and she had a broken Bigsby tailpiece. I had them put the stop tailpiece a little further back so I could bend the strings behind the bridge a little better and refinished it in white. She's got Dunlop 6100s on the fretboard, the rest of the hardware is stock, but the bridge pickup is an Invader and the neck is a Dirty Fingers. She sustains better than almost any other guitar that I've got.

Re: The kids...
The Washburn Falcon is from the Wing Series back in the late 70s and early 80s. Originally she had a brass nut and Dimarzio pickups which were wired to give a tapped coil effect when you pull up on the volume knobs. Those electronics wore out, so I replaced the pups with a '59 in front and a JB in back. The coil tap option still works, but it's for real now. The pickups are also placed out of phase, so if I tap both the front and the back, I can get a Strat effect. It is a neck through design and it's a HEAVY piece!
