I'll start...

My lightly modded 2006 SG Special Ebony with a Bill Lawrence 500xl in the bridge (I bet I'm the only that has a BL in a SG) and a 57 Classic in the neck. Awesome combo.

Thinking about getting a black or silver diamond plate pickguard for it...

2005 61 ri, stock with the 57's at the bridge and neck, dimarzio dualsound at the bidge

 

standard switch positions, with middle pickup on/off and 3 way pickup select for the dimarzio, from single coil, parallel humbucking and opposite

 

cut out and buffed all the copper pieces, (figured copper would wear fast like the nickel and give cool effect which it is)

and cut the pick guard and piece above neck pickup out of cocobolo

 

 

plays like a dream

Its a 2007 SG Faded, very nice guitar, i removed the original pickups and placed a 490R (neck) en a 498T(bridge) from an ol Gibson LP build in 1990.

 

removerd the original knobs for volume and tone and placed vintage tone and volume knobs.

 

Stoptail removed and I mounted a Schaller T-O-Mtrem wich works very good!

1998 SG-I, basically it's like am SG-X now. It started out as one of those strange Tommy Hilfiger ones, a purple-ish-dark-blue with the TH logo. Stripped, sanded and refinished it (originally wanted it to be TV Yellow, but went with something closer to a faded Classic White.) Added a MOTO pickguard and a chrome pickup surround, as well as a badass-style bridge pulled from a BC Rich. Left the electronics stock, that 500T sounds great and the coil split is a nice option.
