seabeesw Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) I just got this. 2021 SG Standard, heritage cherry. I ordered from Zzounds (I know they get some hate, but I’ve had nothing but good experiences with them) thinking I was getting a 2023, and I was a little indignant at discovering my “new” guitar was almost 2 years old. My disappointment turned to elation when I discovered that the SG arrived set up perfectly (intonation, action, even pickup poles!), and that it has a ONE PIECE BODY! I thought that single piece bodies were reserved for the higher end models. Has anyone else had any experience with this in the past few years, or did I just get a unicorn?

merciful-evans Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I thought I'd replied to this. You don't have a identical post elsewhere do you? Anyway, it looks terrific. I always liked the style of SGs and the classic Cherry finish is what I'd want too. One piece body is the icing on the cake. Congrats and enjoy that beauty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabeesw Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share Posted October 6, 2023 I ended up pulling the post or accidentally deleting it. Took me forever to figure out photos. Good now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seabeesw Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 Love that white finish! I’ve always been kind of partial to the traditional cherry, and more so since I got a cherry J45 a couple years back. I wanted a cherry LP Classic, but something about the SG just does it for me in a way that Les Pauls (however awesome they are) never did. I’m stoked to finally have one again. This one is definitely going on the “keeper” pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabeesw Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 I actually ordered a white pickguard for mine immediately after ordering the SG, because something about the white on red just screams cool to me. But…this thing came so well set up that I don’t want to pull the bridge in order to swap the black guard for the white. I’m afraid I’ll good my setup up, and while I know I can put I back to rights, I’m worried I won’t get it set back as well as it came. So I’m rolling with the black batwing for a while.

I was fortunate when I bought mine. It was 2004 and I wanted a black one. I was living in Tucson and I couldn’t believe my luck. Rainbow Guitars had one in stock so I ran down to “test drive” it. It took me very little time make my decision and buy it. The blue ones are also beautiful guitars. Good luck in your quest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
