m1julien Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 hello ! i'm looking to buy a Gibson Sg Left-Handed. I've come accross this one, does it seem like a fair deal ?: http://cgi.ebay.com/Early-70s-Gibson-SG-Standard-Electric-Guitar-USA-MADE_W0QQitemZ250411863915QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item250411863915&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 i'm a student and i've saved a lot to buy an SG so i don't want to do something i'll regret ! thank you for answering me ! =)
jimmiJAMM Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 That looks like a very sweet ride. I say go for it. I have a '78 and I absolutely LOVE it!
jimmiJAMM Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 man' date=' southpaw SGs look weird. [/quote'] Better?
vagabond Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Yeah, much (although it'd look better in white + gold ). Southpaw SGs, I dunno... they just look unnatural. I'm so glad my strange pseudo-ambidexterity blessed me with right-handed guitar playing (I bat, write, and wank lefty for whatever reason).

m1julien Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 hehe alright so you guys think it's a good deal that's cool! i hope the price won't be too high... !
jimmiJAMM Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Look how much closer the bridge is to the pickup on mine. I wonder why?
80LPC Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I'm not anal about this sort of thing, but the shoulders and bevelling are slightly more 'traditional'. No binding also.

bloodspoint Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 The bridge is pretty far out on my '73, as well. This one was a Bigsby guitar originally. I wonder if that's why?
jimmiJAMM Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Hmmm. Interesting. Either way the ***** sounds awesome, that's for damn sure. Sumthin' 'bout those ol' Tarbacks that deliver a knockout punch! I read somewhere that EVH dipped his pickups in wax to get an extra-awesome tone out of them. Same principle (no ex wife jokes) must apply.
80LPC Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 The bridges are not out (if they were, the guitar wouldn't play in tune). It's the pickup position. For some reason the early ones are like this.
