Hey, It's a junior, right? LOL...couldn't resist.
-
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.

I thought everyone wanted everything to return to the 2013 2014 specs..? Guess not.
2013 and 2014 SG Standards did come with a hard case....
-
I like it with the pick guard on.......but that's how I like my LP's....
-
I'd like to join the Standards if I can through ownership of this Les Paul Standard PEACE guitar that has been hand-wired and thoroughly de-Hippyfied.
Beautiful! Those Peace LP's have awesome tops, your's is a great example of that! Congrats and enjoy.

That is 100% rosewood. Can see the grain and the color variations (light and dark).

So many nice standards.

My 2012 LP Studio 50's Tribute. Love it!

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.

"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....

Turning your 500 kOhms audio taper tone pots down to about 4...6, depending on the tolerances which always are higher with audio tapered pots, will give you the same tone like 100 kOhms pots cranked up. 100 kOhms tone pots will just load the pickups down, regardless if tarbacks or '57s.
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

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?
-
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.

Glad to join the club fellows. Here's my 2012 Ebony Traditional.

Hey, I topwrapped a studio and liked it!
I'm wondering whether winding the tuners up and down while the string is in tune will get the nut slot comfortable?
(just don't break the string!) seems like a lot of twisting, but use a string winder.
If I lived in an ideal world i'd get a luthier to install a bone nut and everything would be wonderful. but ...
so the studios are having tuning instability at the nut when they're new. they're all new at some point ... play the *** off of the thing, use it, abuse it, play it hard! get some wear on that new nut. the breakin period is troublesome somewhat. the new guitar goes out of tune when i play it ... ??? how do i fix it???
i wonder: Do older model Studios go out of tune as often?
I have a 1993 Studio that I pound the piss out of and she holds her tuning solidly......
