BR1B3R Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Well, lets talk years best... worst? And I love pics so post them if you got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS90 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 There were no real good or bad years, just eras. 60s where great, 70s were so-so, 80s were strange, 90 were straight forward, 00s were full of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymisterk Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 My '05 Standard - Bad! My '06 Classic - Good! Still, there was a quality control issue on my classic, with a little blemish on the headstock. My '97 Guild S-100 was better than both in terms of build quality...but this isn't the right forum for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swmcv2007 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I love my 04' SG Standard. It's all I need. Want some pics? I have some before's and afters. Here's before, I would've taken more pictures but we all know what a modern ebony SG Standard looks like: Here's what it looks like after some personal modifications: The only problems I've experienced with this baby are my fault. It plays like a dream, a baby could shred on mine. I wasn;t a fan of the pickups but pickups are replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG_Mike Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 My favorite sg year has to be a 1968. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG dude Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I'm with SG_Mike on the '68 standard, vibrato or no vibrato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmiJAMM Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 The '68's sweet but the '67's lighter with a thinner neck joint which I prefer. I'm also a big fan of the 1967 Corvette Stingray but that's another forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T50 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 For me, my 2007 SG Std was the worst. The neck was set in such an angle that the saddle had to sit up way high off the body. Long gone. My 2001 SG RI was... good. Gone. 2008 Diablo is the one to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Dang man, i had the same trouble when i was looking for my 07 sg, had to look at about 90 (no joke) before i found the right one, but when i did (1 solid piece heritage cherry body, a small blemish on the back, no biggie) it was awesome...

LPDEN Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I can get along quite easily with most SG's from the 60's. I've already shared my opinion elsewhere that I think the '61RI is probably a must own SG (for me anyway). But if money were no object, I'd have one from each year from '61 through '68 with a variety of options on some. I can also be fickle and some of these SG variance offerings can be appealing at times too. But I am purist at heart and will always revert to the original or near-original specs when push comes to shove... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 My all time favorite would have to be a 1964 with Maestro. Loved the look, the beveling (outside in inner horns), and the feel and tone. I'll never have one...now, though...can't afford it! LOL! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MI_Canuck Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'm biased... '98 SG Standard is my fave... (still ABR-1 bridge in those years) although honestly, i'd say '61-'65 SG Standard if money was no object... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddairy Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 My 2006 SG '61 RI was good. Then I got a 2001 '61 RI. Much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
