Dinosauria Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 ...and 1 come along at once. I ended up picking up an SG in teal. The metallic colour is a beautiful thing to behold. I like it's retro vibe: Then a few days later I had the chance to try out a '61 reissue (with standard pots, not the PCB) and the neck is to die for. I had to take it.

Dinosauria Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Cheers. I might end up fitting a larger pickguard to the '61. I like them much better and I don't care about keeping it stock. I bought it for the neck profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Ahh the "blue-green flip flop" SG Special. I wanted one of those really bad before I got my Standard. I really recommend you don't change the '61 but it's your guitar... I just hope you don't! Nice guitars :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinosauria Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 It's a bit of a looker. I got it before I found the '61 RI so it's not guaranteed a permanent home with me. If I do keep it I'll most likely pop some humbucker sized P-90s into it though. I think it'd be a good match. Maybe even a P=90 and a burstbucker or something.

Dub-T-123 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Funny... I was just thinking some p90s in that would be sweet. You could put regular p90s in it too. You just have to get a new pickguard & do very minimal routing. Personally, I'd wait for an SG Classic pickguard with original pickups to show up on eBay.

Jayson Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 That is a GORGEOUS guitar, the teal. I'll trade ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBudfrumHull_SG Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 First time I've seen a Teal SG , it's really nice. Being a hockey fan, I couldn't help but imagine a San Jose Sharks logo somewhere on the headstock or body ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Nice SG Special! Is that an ebony fret board I see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angustonedog Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Dude i would tarde my new sg for that. that teal is so cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinosauria Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Nice SG Special! Is that an ebony fret board I see? I think so. There is the possibility that it's very dark rosewood but it doesn't seem rough enough. I don't think the teal Flip Flop colour was very popular when it was released so it should be quite easy to find one. This one's from 2001.

p0laris Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 LOVE that '61 ! very nice. It's my favorite SG color too :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinosauria Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Yeah it's not too red. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with the brighter ones, they're just not to my taste. To be honest I REALLY love the black ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusSG916 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Bro I LOVE THE GIBSON 61 REISSUE, I truly love the neck, I would have got it but instead I ended up with a SG standard but Im not complaining lol its a Gibson and nice choice, very sexy guitar.

Dinosauria Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 I prefer the pups in the standard tho in truth it was the neck that drew me to the '61 reissue. Soooo playable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusSG916 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Exactly why I didnt buy a Les Paul (even though I own one right now) at the time because of the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bocatrip Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The Teal looks similar to the original Pelham Blue custom color from 65-66 before it faded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
