duane v Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 My 2009 SG faded in el stock form The le transformation. Some waffle back tuners.... But I'm a bit upset at the people that sold them to me, because they're supposed to be able to read my mind and know that I would need the off-set tuner bushing8-[ ... LOL! Once I get her intonated and find out where the bridge saddles are positioned. Then I'll see if I have enough bridge saddle travel to re-position the bridge straight rather than at an angle.

duane v Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 the writing on the pick up is upside down? not really worried about it, since it was probably the only gibson embossed pup cover in So Cal..... and it was $40 plus tax.... BTW.... could you be so kind and move this to the SG forum??? thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Does the position of that pickup effect the sound that much or could you flip it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 it's just an upside down bridge pickup. I like it except for the bridge. Those 70s bridges are ugly to me but if you installed it for functionality I guess it's cool. What is the bridge pup? A DiMarzio? I love the way creme pickups look on a cherry SG. Cool knobs too Sweet guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have like three of those things' date=' because that's all I used in the early 80's before letting someone talk me into EMG's'](*,) ..... so I have them laying around in my parts drawer.

Murph Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 It's actually a 490R in the neck... The 490R is a '57 Classic. I doubt anyone could hear the difference. In fact, I'd bet $...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I love the 490r. Whatta great pickup. I've always wondered about the super d... How are the cleans on it? With a name like super distortion it seems like a one trick pony. Is it versatile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a name like super distortion it seems like a one trick pony. Is it versatile? The SuperD is very versatile, I've been using them since 1982.... I certainly like them better than the EMG things.

dickey Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Nice, but you should lose the "harmonica" bridge & go back to the Nashville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Nice' date=' but you should lose the "harmonica" bridge & go back to the Nashville.[/quote'] I've never been a fan of the Nashville, especially the "PING" manufactured one. I've always liked the harmonica bridge, and always wanted a guitar equipped with one. Everything in genuine Gibson with exception of the bridge pup and aluminum gotoh tailpiece, which at some point I'll change if I can find a 70's tailpiece for a fair price.
