Fuzzlord Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 How good would a White 63 SG with a Flyod Rose and P90s be? Just like his lord and savior Tony Iommi's I'd buy one for sure... Actually super keen to build oneĀ 9e9ad7bbfa301a38b95081c01049c8fe-1024-80.jpg.webp Quote
merciful-evans Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 wrong colour, wrong bridge, wrong pickups & wrong lord & saviour other than that, good luck with it.

Sgt. Pepper Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Mr. Iommi is a riff master, but certainly is not the lord or a savior, he plays guitar and very well might I add. Guitar god with a small "g" I can go along with. Quote
mihcmac Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Its all subject to personal taste, all of my guitars have P90's after years Ā of using humbuckings. Having a 60's style SG with P90's and a good Trem is like having a Strat on steroids. Quote

kidblast Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 A white SG, I'm good with that,Ā Ā A white SG with a floyd rose, I'd have to pass.Ā I used to have guitars with FRs, and Kahler's..Ā Ā "used to" is the thing...Ā Ā 1 Quote

My white SG with the StetsBar is pretty well got neck dive under control, but with the weight of a Floyd Rose, I think it would be even better. My SG Classic below, with the longer neck joint that moves the strap button much farther forward, has almost no neck dive even without the Trem. The biggest problem with installing a Floyd Rose in an SG would be making sure the SG has enough body thickness to install it. Ā Edited February 23, 2022 by mihcmac Quote

jdgm Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) The neck (and trc) is similar to a LP Custom. I'm always amazed by Iommi's fingers - https://patient-innovation.com/post/1662?language=en Edited February 23, 2022 by jdgm 1 Quote
sparquelito Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 I'm fond of my white 2011 Gibson Melody Maker SG. It's a hard-tail with a single humbucker and a volume knob.Ā But other than that, it's exactly like what the OP wants to build.Ā š¬ Ā Quote

jdgm Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) This LH index finger stuff is...not so uncommon. Me too.Ā I slammed mine in a car door when I was....very young.Ā My Mum picked up the end, bandaged it back on somehow and rushed me to the doctor who stitched it back on.Ā The nail and fingertip are a different shape to all the other fingers and there are visible scars either side of the cuticle.Ā I was very lucky. Anyway - one time in the late 80s a mate of mine asked me to go with him when he was going to look at 2 s/h Gibson SGs, so I could advise him.Ā We found out what was on offer was one of the natural brown 70s ones, very nice but....the other one was a genuine early 1960s white SG Special with P90s (may have been 1963) which when I picked it up, I knew was a very special guitar - incredibly resonant and responsive, even though it needed a refret.Ā To cut a long story short...he made the guy an offer and got both!Ā He had it refretted but eventually needed to sell, and I didn't buy it off him as I just didn't have the sort of money he got for it.Ā I still think about that guitar and we still talk about it.Ā Ā Ā Damn!

You are in good company.Ā Django and Iommi have done pretty well for themselves with some lopped off/busted up fingers.Ā I'm sure you have compensations that all of us with all of our fingers don't have and can't do! rct 1 Quote

Fortunately for me there was a hand surgeon in the emergency room when I went in, he constructed nice pad on the end of it. After 25 years it is still working good. Quote
