Tim Plains Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Sweet! I used to have the same thing in cherry...I had to sell her. Do you regret selling it? I sold my first SG Special (Wine Red) for this Standard and I'm glad I did. I may very well be the only person on the forum that doesn't regret selling a guitar. I'm all about guitar pictures. I love seeing other peoples gear! Guitarandfeather' date=' did she look like this?

rafaelh Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I know it's a terrible picture but it's the only one I got, and I want to play too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matiac Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Yes, I do regret selling it, but kinda had to, it was a sweet playing, sounding, feeling guitar. Anyway, here's what she was, along with my most beloved and trusted Blue Bomber...that I will never part with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewie Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Mine is an original 1968 that I have had since 1969. It was a year old when I got it. Luckily I listened to a guitar tech and did not change the pickups to hummbuckers. So I have a completley original SG. Baseball bat neck but has never moved in 40 years. Lowest action of any guitar I own and sounds really amazing. Glad to have her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewie Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 They are really nice sounding pickups and you have to realize that they are 40 years old. When I got it a band had used it for 1 years and it had it's share of 60s "pirate" buckle rash but it hasn't had a scratch on it for 40 years. I paid 250 dollars Can. for it back then and I played it through my Super Reverb amp. What a combo. I rarely play it but I really do like the tone. It is like a Strat on Steriods. I also have a 335 and I really like the playing position. It puts the 12 fret a lot higher. I really don't know why I never sold it. I guess it is just my guitar and that is is.

JimeJ Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'm new to this forum and I'm going to start with a big request. Does anyone have a photo of a '63 SG with the Gibson Maestro Vibrola Tailpiece?? I used to have one and can't remember if it had the full pickguard going above the 6th string or not. Appreciate your help. You guys have got some beauties here.........J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The large guard didn't appear 'til a few years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaii Islander Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 The Iommi SG is killer. I'm a fan of both Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftyjay Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 here is my recently aquired 63 Les Paul Custom. this is completely original and unmodded. i havent seen a cleaner one of these on the internet yet. the original case is in "like new" condition and the original strap is still in case and has never been used. still have the hang tags and case candy too as well as the unused warranty tag.
