MikeRom Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Hi There. New to the SG side of the Gibson house. Been a Les Paul man for years. It's funny. In '73 I bought and SG and sold it later for a Les Paul. In 2003 I bought a faded SG and sold it later for a Les Paul. Now I have a Les Paul and an SG I had no idea what it was going to sound like but wowwee, is it great. Better than my paul (don't tell anyone on the Les Paul side) Very clear tones. I love that the neck pup is back farther, gets it out of the mud zone. So without further ado -
MikeRom Posted April 24, 2009 Author Posted April 24, 2009 Oh and the G and B strings 'ting' like mad. I guess some things never change

GuitarJunkie Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Congrats. Played one of those today. Didn't get a chance to plug it in, but it felt (and looked) awesome. BTW, it was number 26 of 350. What number is yours?

MikeRom Posted April 25, 2009 Author Posted April 25, 2009 id throw some plain black top hat knobs on instead though :P After using top hats for so long these speed knobs will take some getting used to. I thought they were black?
