  1. Rockin around the Christmas tree and Queens get Down Make Love and We Will Rock You.
  2. Hey, It's a junior, right? LOL...couldn't resist.
  3. Was wondering the same thing. 2 grand for a studio when $1800 to $2000 can buy a used Standard or Traditional?? Pushed us toward other guitar manufacturers last year, and with prices like that, they gonna push us into the used market this year. lol.
  4. 2013 and 2014 SG Standards did come with a hard case....
  5. I like it with the pick guard on.......but that's how I like my LP's....
  6. Beautiful! Those Peace LP's have awesome tops, your's is a great example of that! Congrats and enjoy.
  7. That is 100% rosewood. Can see the grain and the color variations (light and dark).
  8. So many nice standards.
  9. My 2012 LP Studio 50's Tribute. Love it!
  10. This case here: https://www.long-mcquade.com/11973/Guitars/Cases_Gig_Bags/Yorkville_Sound/Deluxe_Hardshell_Les_Paul_Case.htm Fit my 2014 LP melody maker like a glove. Nice looking MM. I had the yellow, but like the look of the cherry too.
  11. "I just want an SG, with a thicker body, a beefier neck, and more ooomph." You should try to find a 50th anniversary standard 24......50's neck with 57 classics....haven't weighed them, but, its much heavier than my 1977 sg standard. I call her my Les G....... beefy feel and tone for sure....
  12. Rolling back the tone mellows out the highs, but doesn't do anything for the compression.....will loading the pu's down help with that u think cap? I may just spring for some original "Super Humbuckers". These would do I think... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-Gibson-Tarback-Pickups-SG-Explorer-ES-335-1972-1973-1974-1975-1976-/331049179788?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item4d14119a8c
  13. So....has anyone tried to change the tone pot's to 100K with 57 classics? Could i expect a subtle or dramatic change in the overall tone and how, if at all, would it affect the "compression" aspect of the 57's?
  14. After a couple of weeks of jamming on my new to me 1977 SG standard, I am really loving the tone of it. The mids are smooth and creamy and the highs sparkle and cut through without sounding shrill. Now, by comparison, the 57 classics in my 2011 standard 24 sound treble heavy and almost a little too "open" and crisp. Am I crazy for liking the tarbacks better? I know people switch out the 100 K treble pots in the older SG's for the 500k's but has anyone ever switched the 500's for 100's with the 57's? Would it smooth out the highs and tighten up compression wise in the 57 classics if i did? Or am i barking up the wrong tree and the 57's aren't tonally capable of what I am after? I've seen the tarbacks on ebay, and they are pricey. Are there any current production pu's that share simillar specs to the tarbacks....gibson or otherwise? I have tried rolling back the treble on the guitar, but it just doesn't have the same tonal effect....it does cut the highs, but compression wise, it does nothing.....This damn '77 has ruined all other guitars for me! LOL..... I am playing both through my Marshall jcm 800 4212.
  15. Glad to join the club fellows. Here's my 2012 Ebony Traditional.
