Soulman75 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hi there, My favourite SG was built in Nashville in 1992 and has 2 pick-ups with what looks like the Custom style neck. I am trying to find out more about this model (someone suggested its a 2 pickup Custom, which i didn't know existed). Not sure how to add a pic to the forum, sorry. Black, full white pickguard (both sides of pickups) Block inlays, Custom headstock ( SG stamped on truss rod cover) Any advice welcome Cheers Soulman (Scotland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPDEN Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Yes, post up some pics when you can. In the meantime, see if you can locate your model here: Everything SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulman75 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Cheers Guys, Everything SG has only come up with the 2 pickup Custom answer so far, which is great if it's true but i have seen very few of these models and struggling to get any info on it, all help appreciated.

LPDEN Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I can't say I recall an early 90's 2 p/u Custom (that doesn't mean it didn't exist, I just don't recall one).. I am curious if you pulled off the PG to make sure it was never routed for 3 pickups? Some people don't get along with playing with that middle pickup in there and maybe it was pulled and another p/g was fitted? Not saying that is the case, just guessing. Maybe someone will chime in and give more info about your SG... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulman75 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hi Denny, Thanks for the update, I have never taken the pg off to check, always assumed it was some kind of hybrid between std and custom. There is very little info or evidence of such a model, so still looking for answers. If I hadn't just put on the best strings available i'd have the PG off tonight !!!!! It will be going in for a set-up soon, so may find out then...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickey Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 This guitar was a Guitar of the Month Special Edition. The Guitar Center in Lakeland, Florida has one exactly like yours in a display case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulman75 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Cheers Dickey, That's great to hear, hard to believe, should i be buying a display case to show it here in Coatbridge, near Glasgow in Scotland ???? Please keep the suggestions coming (thankfully no bad commenst about mu USA tele either at this stage !!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dred31 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 It reminds of this custom done by Swmcv2007 I love my 04' SG Standard. It's all I need. Want some pics? I have some before's and afters. Here's before' date=' I would've taken more pictures but we all know what a modern ebony SG Standard looks like: [img']http://i544.photobucket.com/albums/hh360/swmcv2007/OldSG-1.jpg[/img] 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. Could just be a one of custom job done by someone. but who knows what will turn up, see what the tech says when you take it in for a set up!

Was in GC a couple weeks ago trying out a VOS to go with my '61, when I saw your guitar. I asked what it was, and the salesman told me about it being the Guitar of the Month. I forget for when, though. Nice axe! BTW I was in Scotland a few years ago. Beautiful country & really friendly people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulman75 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Thanks Dickey, We try our best to be friendly in Scotland, we love to party and make friends, not enemies !!!! This really is bizarre, very little info on this SG available and there is no routing for a 3rd pickup so it's always been 2. I love this guitar and can't believe i've waited so long to find out more about it, It sounds amazing and I still believe the SG is th nicest guitar I've ever owned. Anyone with more ideas please post them, Gibosn have asked for more detail from me (pics/lables/serial/inlays etc) and hopefully they will be able to tell the scoop on my amazing SG !!!!
