AS90 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I saw one on ebay a few weeks ago, it went for the same price as a faded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Gibsons Typically retain a Decent Value some moreso than others.But an SG with P90's just sounds Sweet! Dont worry about the value to much....just enjoy the tone! Congrats on your SG acquisition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean[/quote'] I agree with the previous poster. These seem to go for about the same as a Faded Special these days, but you never know what may happen in the future. I sure don't. I didn't think that Norlin-era Gibsons and CBS-era Strats from the 70s and 80s would go for the prices they're going for now! That being said the SG-90 is a much better guitar (in my big fat opinion) than the Norlin Era SG's. I think the collectors are a bit freaked out by the looks, but the SG-90 is a versatile guitar.

Guitarooster52 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Now that is a cool SG 90! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Martin Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 That SG is the culmination of every cool element on an SG. Awesome inlays, awesome pickguard, awesome pickup configuration, awesome string-through body, awesome color. CARCASS, got any pics of yours? I am very interested!!!

RStabe Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Other than the type of pickups and body string hole locations, this is just like the sg-z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merkaba22 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I have two SG-90's Singles -- both are blue/green ... one with white pickguard and one with the darker shade. I have read that the white pickguard were only on the first 100. I had one earlier but it had issues with the neck that I was not willing to spend the money on to see if it could be fixed -- but man, did that one have a special resonance that inherently made each note bloom. That and the one with the darker pickguard are extremely light, weighing in about 5.5 lbs! The one with the darker pickguard had the finish on back of the neck removed when I bought it, the neck is great and has nearly the same bloom going for it -- I swapped all the black hardware for gold (except for the top string ferrules -- which I cannot find) and its gorgeous. Also, I moved the volume control to the middle and had a toggle switch in its original place for the coil tap (which now includes a tone by-pass) since I was always turning the guitar down by mistake when playing and I think the coil tap knob sticks up too much .... The other is pristine and looks like its has never been played -- its heavier has a more traditional tone, ideal for rock, somewhere between a regular SG and a Les Paul for want of a better description. I love these and have played SG's forever ... I am looking for a good condition Single or Double with a Floyd on it -- I saw one at the NYC Gibson office in the early 90's and that's when it all started:) I see these running for about $7-900 in great condition -- I think they are way way undervalued.

tbonesullivan Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 hmm... this thread has done one thing for me: reignited my urge to have an elitist sheraton or maybe even the USA Version, if I can track one down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwness Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 There are 2 different SG 90's. The Single and the Double. The single has one Humbucking and the Double has a Humbucker and a single coil. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5CES Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 SG90 Double for Sale...If anyone's interested....it's an early-1988 Alpine White, Black Hardware, White Pearloid, with strings-thru. (I first had one with the Steinberger trem --- what a joke!! Sold it and found this one.) Original "single-coil" (well, it's not really a single-coil...) plus a replacement humbucker. I installed a brand-new Gibson 498T (when I got it, the original HB had already been replaced with a cheap HB of some kind; I threw it away). The finish, of course, is no longer "Alpine White" --- it's undergone that aged-white-thing. Regards, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
