sbpark Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 After picking up a vintage white SG yesterday and having issues with setting it up, I returned it today for another 2013 standard in heritage Cherry. Here's she is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Nice! Hope it's "issue free," and will give you many years of great playing! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbpark Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Nice! Hope it's "issue free," and will give you many years of great playing! CB So far this one is night and day difference. Better feel, a little heavier than the other one, and surprisingly a totally different sound. This one just sounds much bigger and more open. It even twangs!

Johnny Seven Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Man, that is nice! I was tempted to get one of these myself when I saw that Guitar Center is blowing out the 2013 Standards now for $850... (No affiliation with GC - just noticed that they had this sale on 2013 Standards going on.. I'm sure some other sites are doing this as well..)

I could never afford $1299 for a new one, and didn't really like the look of the older standard with the big pick guard. But I got a flyer int he mail that showed these were on sale. I actually even got it for a touch less than the blowout price! I guess they really wanted to get rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're really tempting me now... Maybe I should go back to GC and start dealing on one of these Standards then.. I've got a Faded (which I love), but still...

JM2112 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Congratulations!!! Looks very cool, and it no doubt sounds killer through those amps, too!!! HNGD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darling67 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Congrats! I tend to shy away from "Heritage Cherry" finishes, myself. But, I confess... every time I see an SG in that finish, I swoon. It's the classic SG finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hello Sbpark, congrats on your great purchase! HNGD! There's so much depending on the actual guitar, and so catching the right one always has something of a lucky strike. Glad you finally found the SG with your name on it. Rock on, mate!

philskiathod Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Lucky you. Had my first ever SG delivered on Monday. £999 here in the UK, & that's a good price. Mine goes alongside my Strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swilliam Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Lucky you. Had my first ever SG delivered on Monday. £999 here in the UK, & that's a good price. Mine goes alongside my Strat. That's quite a lot for post xmas sales in the UK. I paid £850 for my 2013 SG within a few days of you. Coda were taking a further 20% off their Gibson sale price, and if you contacted many of the Gibson dealers they were only to happy to reduce further in order to make way for 2014 stock.

Versatile Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Great guitar...!! IMO SG's are terrific VFM...with great sounds and playability... I had a Gibson SG some years ago which got sold for some reason or other Currently using a superb hand made 'SG Copy' by Gordon Smith Many of the greats have used SG's Jimi Hendrix George Harrison Angus Young Eric Clapton et al V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Blokes sure pay a lot for your American guitars. I bought the same model here in the States in November for $779 or £472. But they were having a 40% blowout. Best time of the year to purchase. Great guitar! I also bought my Marshall stack, 2203, 1982 A&B in Bletchley in 1982 for £565. At the time that was $1028 and they cost about $2000 here in the States then. Now days they run $4000+ here with 1960s. What is a 2203 stack going for over there now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevDavidLee Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Congrats! There's nothing quite like an SG Standard in my favorite finish on that guitar - Heritage Cherry!
