Best SG, I ever owned was a used $600 SG Special I no longer have. Edited November 16, 2020 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scarecrow1120 2 Report post Posted November 20, 2020 When my son was 14, a freshman in high school and playing trombone in the concert band, he discovered the guitar. What a journey that has sent us on but that's another story. He played his band teachers acoustic for a while then asked for his own electric guitar. I asked which one he liked and he showed me a web page with an Epiphone SG Special. I asked why that one and he said he really like Angus Young. For $159.00 dollars what could it hurt. Spent another $150.00 on a used amp and away he went. That boy would play AC/DC non stop. Later I discovered that Gibson had done several Angus Young signature model runs. The run that caught my eye, started in 2010 and was dubbed the Thunderstruck. That started a search that lasted 1 1/2 years. Every morning, 7 days a week while drinking my coffee, I would search every used guitar listing I could find. You name that sight, dealer, social media and I was searching it, everyday! Then, low and behold, a 2010 Angus Young Thunderstruck in Ebony (tough to find) popped up on CL in up state NY. That was a mere 750 miles from me. The price was right. In fact, it was about $800.00 dollars low. I called, we talked, I got all the info I could. Emailed Gibson and they verified. Called Sweetwater and they verified. I hit the road! Come to find out, this guy is selling off his deceased fathers estate. Man I felt like a opportunistic piece of crap. That was never my intent. I offered to pay him market value for the guitar without hesitation. He refused my offer telling me he knew it's market value but he also knew how long I had been searching for that specific guitar and what my intentions were for the guitar. The guitar was to be a gift to my son on his 18th birthday. He then proceeded to give me free of charge, Fender Blues JR tube amp, picks, stings, tuners, stands and the list goes on forever. Every thing his dad had that was guitar related. I had to wait 10 months for his birthday to arrive but it was well worth it. This past Christmas is when we gave him the guitar and all the goodies. What a great memory for all. I cant thank that guy enough! I guess what I'm trying to tell you is, be patient and be vigil with your searches. The right guitar and deal will come along. Probably when you expect it the least. C 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also have an almost never played 2013 aged cherry with rosewood fretboard that I should sell if I could get 6K. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scarecrow1120 2 Report post Posted November 20, 2020 Yeah, he's not going to get 6K. He did say OBO. Guitar Chimp has them from time to time at about 3,200. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuestionMark218 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2020 I've got a 2008. Had to wait a year for a second version to arrive, as it fell off the van during transit and smashed to bits lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xvindicationx 1 Report post Posted November 30, 2020 What an awesome story, Scarecrow! Thanks for sharing. I got myself a second-handed, yet hardly played Gibson SG Vintage (walnut) from 2019 this weekend. The foil was still on the pickguard., I paid roughly the same what you did but couldn't be happier... The right guitar at the right time indeed.
