humbucko Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Hi all, I've been searching the internet for a few weeks looking to see if my dream SG exists. It's a pretty simple ask but I think the answer is no... I thought I'd check with the experts here to see if I'm missing any rare models. I'm essentially after a SG Standard with P90s - but with the small pickguard. That's it. The recent SG P90 Standard has everything I want, I just can't stand the big batwing guard. I thought about modding a 2016/2018 Special to have P90s instead of minihumbuckers, but it misses the bound neck, headstock detail etc. The closest I've found is the Gary Clark Jr yellow three P90 SG - this might be what I end up going for https://www.andertons.co.uk/p/SGGCJ17GYNH1/solid-body-electric-guitars/gibson-usa-2018-gary-clark-jr-signature-sg-gloss-yellow Thanks!

Megafrog Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I would go with the Gary Clark model. It looks pretty amazing. I have a 2016 with the p90s and it is a great guitar but it has the big pickguard. If you want to mod a SG to have P90s, take either a 2016 SG 70s Tribute with the mini humbuckers or the new 2018 SG Special model and use that. P90s would fit either nicely.

tx-ogre Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 How about this one? Not a particularly good photo. It has dot inlays instead of trapezoid, but I really like it. And before you ask, I have no intention of selling her. http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=21433 Here is the link to the archive file at Gibson.com.

sellen Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 You get NOS 2013 SG 50 tribute for 600$ at https://www.musicstore.de/en_US/EUR/Gibson-SG-Tribute-50-s-MET-EB-Ebony-Min-ETune/art-GIT0026176-000#reviewBar It's satin finish and no pickguard, and with robot tuneres, but 600 for a new gibson is cheap I got an 70 tribute on the way, with Dirty fingers pickups and robot tuners. Always been curious about those dirty fingers and robot tuners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
