Revolution Six Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hi, I need your help guys. I want a white contrôle plate on my SG Std. I made a test with 2 layers of Adhesive Vinyl Film. The result is not bad but I prefer a custom plate made with wkite material. I can send the original plate as master, I am in France near Paris. Thank you !

Guest Farnsbarns Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm confused. Just buy some white plastic and cut it out? Or Google for someone to make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Yes, it should be easy enough to make. I'd use a junior hacksaw, a 2nd cut file, drill and chamfer bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Not many have heard the recordings of Pete explaining exactly why he smashed them up, but I can tell you it had a whole lot to do with the neck dive that Gibson SGs are well known for. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 and boys and girls, this is why Les Pauls are indeed the only safe, reliable, sane choice....... but I digress... I traded my SG last summer. Not neck dive, just not the right neck after 6 years of trying to make it work. It was the very first SG I ever owned, since 1971. I don't miss it. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I have two actually, a 2012 standard with 49x(t/r) and a 2005 classic w/p90s they are fun to play, Light, fret access for days.. Not quite the snarl of my LP Standards, but - close enough for hand grenades.. I use brushed leather straps, there is no such thing as neck dive with the proper strap. Seat Belt straps of for yuckle heads... (Kidding,, I'm a kidder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will just end up with my shirt in a ball on my left shoulder if I don't have gloved leather on the body side. I don't really notice neck dive in any guitar because I'm pushing, pulling, lifting, dropping, back and forthing the neck all over the place anyway so whatIcare? rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like em to move around unless it's 100% with me........... except for the mosh pits, but I'm too old to dive into those anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all do. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 This one from JAT Custom Parts should work. Shipping to France might be a bit costly though. https://reverb.com/item/3094129-jat-custom-guitar-parts-usa-gibson-sg-control-cover-back-plate-cream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjsinla Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 THE solution for SG neck dive: That was nuts. I like my SG’s light. I would rather put up with some neck-dive than add weight or move the strap button YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megafrog Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I thought that the neck dive on an Epiphone was caused by the extra letters on the headstock that are not on a Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
