sellen Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 So i bought this one back in 2012 Payed 1200$ for a beat up '69 Sg. A bit much considering it was not in good shape. Tuners was a joke, electronic and pickups (dimrzio) needed to be replaced. Frets was worn down. So i decided to be patience, and take it bit by bit. So it did't feel so expensive Now i'm finally at the end, it's and awesome guitar. Things i'm done over the years Kluson Deluxe tuners New frets -D.allan powerage T-Top pickups Crazy parts Maestro Vibrola(long version) Switchcraft and CTS electronic witch hat knobs Faber Wraparound bridge So i know a lot of money, but over the years it don't feel so bad. And i always wanted a vintage guitar Got a few sg's and a Les paul a Gretsch and a strat. And hands down, in the coach unplugged the '69 sg beat 'em all. Sounds great plugged to, but the difference really shines unplugged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for a good pair. I've got an 1994 SG special and love it. Keep rocking. Alco Flower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Six Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Is it a 1969 SG Special with a wraparound bridge ? Funny AC/DC drawing on the headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alco Flower About same output as a 57 classic, crisp and clear with a bite Vintage feel and it sounds a bit different than the 57 classic, sounds cool. Yea man Special's are cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Scales Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Nice guitar mate. I have a 69 Epi - basically the SG line with a different body and headstock shape - it has an extremely thin (measured across the nut) neck and board - is your the same? I quite like it but it takes a bit of getting used to the close string spacing. Superb taper though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking to take out the 490's in my SG Special and want to try something I have never had before. I've tried Lindy Fralin's, which are great. Rio Grande's, which I also like. DiMarzio's not a fan. Seymours, also not a fan. A few different Gibson pups, 490's 57's, Angus, Iommi or what ever came with the Gibson I bought. Sounds open with great string separation, sounds just right. Chech it out http://www.dallenpickups.com/category_s/51.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
