Thanks guys. It sounds good, feels good. Fret ends need a touch of file, nothing major. The pups were too high and a little brightish sounding till I backed them down some which gave it a fuller thicker tone. The pups respond well to pick attack for me and once I got the tone and volumes dialed in on the amp ( Egnater Tourmaster 4212) they sounded darn good to me. I've found it fairly easy to go from clean country leads to a breakup bite/growel with just tweaking the volume pot. Havent had a pedal on it yet at all. All in all I have to say definitely worth the bucks and the Zebra 61's I think will work well for me and what I play.

Told you there was no downside to the SGJ!

 

Surprised the fret ends were rough...mine was set up perfectly (smooth frets, great action, intonation already dialed in, etc.). I DID drop the bridge pic up a hair though.

 

Yep, that slightly driven tone is where the '61s shine. You WILL find lots of other highly usable sounds over the next few days, but that's the one I keep coming back to.

 

They do a really credible Angus Young too (probably no real surprise being an SG), but there's a boat-load of tones on the SGJ's pallette.

 

ENJOY!

Frets were really good...I have a habit of hooking my thumb over the fretboard on some chords, its me not the neck. Heckuava deal I think! The more I play it the better I like it.

 

Thanks all, I'm like a kid with a new toy lol.
