It wouldn't cost that much. 😈🎸 I do have a bag of CTS pots and Bumblebee's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Bumblebees....even better. And as all your guitars have P90-style pickups you only need to wire up one to try it. 😈😈😈🎸 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNJ Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Awesome collection of siblings for the girl in red up front. There's more flavors than Baskin-Robbins in that photo! Enjoy them all! Edited September 7, 2021 by CNJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I do have fun with my P90 collection, each having their own distinct personality, several didn't make the cut and had to find new homes along the way. The problem is that after filtering through so many the ones that are left are exceptional. I defiantly fell victim to the recent introduction of the Kalamazoo headstock and the reappearance of early Epiphone models that haven't been built for a long time. My first U.S. brand guitar was an Epiphone, so basically this old man got to heaven before he expired. I'm still waiting for the 56 Chevy Nomad to be reintroduced.

Mr. Natural Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 On 8/23/2021 at 6:06 PM, mihcmac said: I have been reading about this redesigned Epiphone SG Classic P90, the body is two pieces of mahogany with no veneer, a 60's SlimTaper neck, the 50's Headstock, cast Kluson style Epiphone Deluxe tuners with Threaded Bushings and Ivory Buttons, P90 Pro's, full size CTS pots no circuit board, ABR Bridge and Stopbar. Anyway I couldn't resist for $379 with free shipping from the MusicZoo. I am adjusting the trussrod a little and intonation. I may have to install a Les Trem II. A longer neck trunnion with the strap button moved much farther forward now, like current Gibson SG's and much improved Neck Dive. Epiphone finally fixed it on a few SG models. Very nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the biggest improvements is the SG Classics neck trunnion that allows the strap button to be moved farther forward, which helps improve the balance. Compared to the G400 on the right that are all based on the 61 SG design. Also the SG Classic on the left is 2 blocks of mahogany with no veneer, where the G400 is 3 blocks with veneer. Although all of the new SG's use the Kalamazoo headstock. The only other new Epiphone SG built this way is the SG Standard (with the large pickguard and Humbuckers), so far the rest use the older style of G400 body construction on the right. My SG Classic is a great player, I could be temped to get an Inverness Green one. Edited September 18, 2021 by mihcmac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Played the SG Classic at my jam yesterday, this long neck thing is amazing, it should have cost a lot more. The cast Kluson style Epiphone Deluxe tuners also with threaded bushings. Opps I just noticed they raised the price $50 to $429.. Still low I think for all that it gives you...
