DuaLeaD Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I miss the SG Supreme! I remember when I started playing guitar about 12 years ago and seeing one of these on the rack.... Some of the best flame work I've ever seen!! I love how it was incorporated with the wood patterns!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtim Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Yea I was a big fan too real good looking guitars. I almost traded my les paul custom for one at a guitar show about 10 years ago or something, It was the orange flame model and it had p-90's in it instead of the standard humbucker. That was the only reason I did not trade for it. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's about chrome I am with you, regardless of finish colour. Anyway, I guess I have a special like for SGs featuring a 23rd and 24th fret instead of a plastic cover and coming without pickguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny V Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 RevDavidLee, That is the most beautiful SG I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevDavidLee Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Thanks Kenny! Back when I bought it - I was in Kansas City with Robert Keeley (of Keeley Electronics) and a mutual friend and we decided we were going to go visit the Musician's Friend warehouse along with a number of other music gear stores while we were there. We were there to see Rob Balducci and Dave Weiner in concert at the Emporium there. Great concert!!! Killer guitarists! Those SG Supremes were selling for $2000 at that time so I never imagined I would ever own one but when we got to the MF warehouse I spotted one hanging up on the wall. There was no price on it and there didn't appear to be anything wrong with it at all so I asked a guy that worked there how much? He said $1350 including the case. I'm like - what's wrong with it? He turns it over and shows me on the back on the headstock that one of the tuner screws is missing. I'm like - that's it??? He says yeah it's a return and it's got that screw missing so we can't sell it as new. I whipped out my debit card so fast I almost hurt myself..lol. Robert comes walking around the corner and sees what I have and says "man, if you hadn't grabbed that first I would have".. When I got home I ordered some tuner screws & took care of that minor issue. I still have it and Robert still is my friend so it's win win all the way around. That warehouse was amazing by the way. While we were there I also spotted like a half a dozen Gibson Goldtone amp heads with broken logos but didn't grab any of them because I already owned a couple Gibson Goldtone combos. I didn't know that would discontinue those later or I would have grabbed them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buliwyf Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I was trying to find a way to afford one for a few months seeing as they were well over $2000.00 but when MF posted one for $1300.00 it def got my interest.It was a return but for that price why not try it.It has the P90's that didnt make a difference to me and although the photo isnt the greatest the guitar top was amazing i think it was called Firemist.It was a great guitar totally beautiful and sounded killer but there was one problem.It was the first guitar I had owned with 24 frets and being only 5ft 7in i must have short arms as I had to strech to reach the E and G tuning keys.Heres the best picture I took of it. I put it out for sale and got an email from some who wanted to trade for his Peavey Wolfgang hardtail and he was in the area so I went and checked it out.Well we both were very happy with the transaction even if I did miss my SG take a look at the Wolfgang top and it's pickups are just over the top amazing.But I'm still a huge Gibson fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar God Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I remember these SG Supremes. I've always loved them, too! They were beautiful SG's! Always wanted one. Would love to finally get my hands on one! Of course, would have to find one used, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 There's a few around on ebay though, I was looking at a mint Blue earlier.
