Andre S Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I was reading here about some probems with the Maestro on an SG. It goes sharp when the case is closed and the arm is bent at odd angles, and worse of all I have to drill 6 -7 holes in the SG for installation? And the second post said it robs sustain and resonance and goes out of tune even when not in use. Keep in mind that the installation will be done by me, with allparts maestro trem. If I get an SG, there is no way I can resist adding a Maestro. It WILL happen. Should I even bother with the SG? Does it rob sustain or go sharp? Do you think I can install it correctly. And by the way, allparts CS is not impressive at all. I emailed them twice in the last week to ask a question about the tailpiece, and 5 and 3 days later respectively, no reply whatsoever...

The Mick Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I would think as long as you store it with the arm up it would go flat if it contacts the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 You're worrying WAY too much. Do it. Then you'll know for sure. If it sucks, get another SG. No problems with mine. I keep telling you guys.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 ... and where do you count 6 or 7 holes? There are three under the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Not on mine. It doesn't wrap around, fastens directly to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre S Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 and the allparts version is the same as the factory installed one on the Gibson's, except the factory installed one has the lyre engraving and the Gibson logo engraving? sigh, school time now....
