freddairy Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Beautiful guitars both of you! I think used 61 SG RI are the best bang for the buck guitar right now. I wish the 06 I won on ebay a few weeks ago came with the older pink and brown case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sok66 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I didn't particularly care for the new black w/white hard cases when I saw them in photos, but in person it looks great. ZThe SG really is hard to beat price wise right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sok66 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Having played it for a couple days and gotten a feel for it, tonight was "big setup night". Gibson had it playable, but all the adjustments had been made to compensate for nut slots that weren't cut anywhere near deep enough. With the thin neck profile it made the guitar feel rather nuts. To try & get the string height they had virtually no relief in the neck at all, and the bridge & pickups were sitting way high. Got out the nut files & brought every slot down to .005" - .006" above the first fret height. Put some relief in the neck, about .008" then adj'd the string & pickup height. Before putting the strings back on we polished the frets with some crocus cloth and oiled the fretboard. I then remembered in my parts stash there was a taller bridge pickup surround, so for a bit of that vintage SG vibe I swapped out the stock one. Still feels new, but plays much, much better. I forgot how killer an SG through a Marshall head is. Lotsa wankin' on that old Cream stuff afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
