Jeff-7 Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Are push pull pots a common feature on the new sg standards? I bought my new standard a month and a half ago and was jamming a bit with my friend comparing our sg's. His volume knobs don't have the push pull feature, think his is a 2002 or 2004 model. Just wondering if I got something out of the ordinary here.
Dub-T-123 Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 The push-pulls come on the new white Standards like the one that you have. Those are very cool guitars. I love the way the finish yellows over time. The push-pull is not a standard feature on the new Standards. Yours is a slightly different model. How do you like your SG? I have an '06 and I absolutely love it. It is such a great guitar. Everyone always compliments how sexy it looks and how great and fat it sounds. My drummer especially loves it lol.
Jeff-7 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Posted April 28, 2010 It's a dream to play, absolutely loving it. I had always been an acoustic guy but I would fiddle around on friends electrics - mostly Fenders. I wanted something a little different than what everyone else had. Tried out an SG and fell in love, had to search for months for a white standard (or a place that even sold Gibsons to be quite honest). Everyone tells me how sexy it looks and sounds, my friend I mentioned earlier has an ebony model and he said he immediately wishes he would have seen a white one - he would have bought it instantly.
Dub-T-123 Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 That would be cool to have a white one and a black one. Kindof a yin and yang thing. Do you use the taps much?
Blackie Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 ....that is cool.........it's like buying a new car and after a few weeks realizing it has a couple extra gears. I can understand how it happened too. When I finally had the money and wanted an SG .....I just walked in the store found one on the wall and played it a little and took it to the register............
Jeff-7 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Posted April 28, 2010 I noticed it when I sat down to try it out before I forked over the cash, my experience with SG's had been very limited so I just thought it was more of a standard thing when I purchased it.
BigKahune Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Great guitar. The taps are a bonus on your model. Congrats.
Murph Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 I like the white too. The more smokers you hang around, the faster it'll yellow.
