tom brown Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) I was finally able to make my purchase of this 2017 Gibson SG T and I have to say that this is a really finely constructed guitar . A friend of mine who is a master luthier looked it over really well and agreed with me . The neck is a slim taper so it seems just the right size and it has the 57 pickups in it which I happen to like . They do have a brightness to them but that’s where tone controls and equalization comes in on your guitar amp . Also I plan to put DR blues nickel strings on it which will turn the brightness down a little bit . And I usually drop the pick ups a little lower than the factory specs , that helps. It also has a locking Grover tuners which work really well . I think I got lucky because this guitar was never played, it was bought and put in a case and then listed for sale as being in excellent condition . Not any fret marks at all. It overdrives very well but I really like these pickups when they’re just on the cusp of being overdriven where if you digging you could get that little bit of overdrive . I really think this guitar is a custom shop quality when compared to some that I have played . I’m using a roland 40 watt cube and a fender blues junior 4 edition . I only have a Wawa pedal but I’m trying to figure out which would be the best pedal with this guitar and a fender tube amp for unsaturated overdrive ?? cheers !!

kidblast Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Hey Tom! Congrats on the purchase, sounds like you found a gem. Classic 57s are awesome pickups, personally among my favorite Gibson's Humbuckers and my 2nd love are SGs, I have 2 myself. (#1 choice for me is a Les Paul standard) Show us some photos sometime! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
