jaxson50 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I've always liked SG's and was hoping to get feed back (no pun intended) on the SG III like this one; http://cgi.ebay.com/GIBSON-SG-U-S-A-3-SINGLE-COIL-PICKUPS-RARE_W0QQitemZ250502347099QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item3a531a795b&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 or this one; http://cgi.ebay.com/2007-Gibson-SG-USA-SG-III-OHSC-Exc_W0QQitemZ200388287554QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item2ea8129c42&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I thought the humbucker versions were great! Needed better beveling/scarfing (IMHO), but all current non-custom shop SG's DO, too. I thought, if I ever got a SG III, I'd probably mod it, to more like a "custom" in wiring...with the regular switch, and added tone and volume controls, instead of the single (master) volume and tone, and the 5-way rotary switch. But, that's just me. Sorry, I don't really know about the single coil versions. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drumrnmuzik Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I'd agree with 3 humbuckers, then I'd make 'em all splitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxson50 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 I've played SG III's with humbuckers, I just wondered how the ones with the single coils sounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I think they're sweet. I'd love to have one. Coil splitting would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Nice. Just a bit of advice - I've seen some guys buy a 3 pup setup and then find that the middle pup bothered their strumming and picking. Sl, if you haven't played much with a 3 pup setup, be sure to log in some playing time before you buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
