sliptrip Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I have a 2003 SG Standard. It's not modified what so ever. It's been my backup guitar to my LP classic, and I think I want to sell it to get another LP classic, or another LP with a 60's slim neck and 490/498T pickup set. I can't think of any that come to mind. Any help? BTW, the SG is Ebony. If you want I'll post pics of it, but its your SG Standard. Since it's a backup, hasn't seen much stage time and is in great condition. What do you I could get for it? Thanks guys! and any ladies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callen3615 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 You could sell your standard and get a 61 reissue, its got a 60s neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sliptrip Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 I could, but last night at practice runnin through my TSL 60, the LP just has more OOMPH than my SG, and I'm running the same pickup setup (490/498T) in each guitar. I think that was the deciding factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] No diversity? The Lester can be configured in many different ways, with several pickup options, for many different tones. Might I ask why you have two Super Strats? Is there diversity in owning 2 of them? If yes, then why couldn't 2 Lester's be just as diverse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] +1 Besides, the SG is mainly used as a backup guitar that you said doesn't get played much anyway so, presumably, the LP you want to get won't get played very much either. Might as well have a different flavor around for when you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Back to your original post, sliptrip...I'd say $1,000 - $1,200 if the guitar is in mint condition. A new black SG Standard lists for $1,650 on GC.com. Les Paul Standards used to come with 490/498. I can't recall the exact years that they did but I believe is was before 2002. So, see if you can find one of those. Of course, you could always find another LP Classic and replace the pick ups with a 490/498 set. The good thing about doing this is Classics are generally cheap to buy and so is the 490/498 set. I often see listings for 490/498 on craiglist. A lot of guys replace them and then try to sell them. You should be able to get the guitar and pickups for $1,200 - $1,500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
