wheelman Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi all first post here. I was wondering is the neck carve on a 62 reissue the same as a standard? Also did they do the long neck tenon thing back then? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS90 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I have a 1988 SG Showcase, its basically a blue '62 RI with EMGs. Does this help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dragyn Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hey, AS90- How many did Gibson make of those? I saw one on eBay that looked a bit beat up a couple weeks back and I'm wondering how hard it'd be to find another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 AS90 thanks i'm not sure what to look for without taking the neck pickup out. I remember from a bit of research that if the tenon goes to about the middle of the pickup route or further then it's a long one. I am not sure this is totally correct. I heard they are better for greater sustain. Another thing is the spec sheet says the pickups in the 62' reissue are 59 reissues. I never heard of those pickups. Have any of you? Do we need a photo host to post a picture here? Maybe I can post the link to the spec sheet I seen nothing about the Tenon or neck carve. I heard the 61's are thinner than the standard neck carves I never had the pleasure to try one yet is why ask. I also seen someone selling a reissue on ebay claiming it had a long neck tenon which is more desirable I would think. OH just figured out how to post a link photo anyways. Still don't know how to post a photo of saved photos without a host. I guess I will have to sign back up with imagehost for that. I plan on getting an SG-62 soon. Just curious about it I guess and excited at the same time. By the way shweeet looking axe dig the blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do pop up every now and then so keep an eye out on ebay. wheelman: Only the VOS and Historic SG's have long tenons, I had an Orville by Gibson LP with a long tenon and there was no noticable difference. The neck joint on my '61 was thinner than my '62. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Thanks I thought so on the long neck tenons. Just another ebay scammer I see. Interesting to see the 59 humbucker reissue in the specs don't you think? I assume they are what is now called the 57 classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see I got to see how much crap they want to invade first on my computer. I got my 62 and it's a smoker! I love it I think it's the one. It needs a bit of care though a tad bit of fret buzz on every string on the 17th fret. Seems wierd it's nowhere else. That neck just rips I love it. It's so comfortable to play and it being so light I just never want to stop playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
