SG fan 420 Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 Hey Ya'll look what I got today!! Check this out, I got this bad boy at.........BEST BUY???? No, i'm not kidding. In the west TN area, it's either The Big Blue Box or Guitar Denter if you want a Gibson#-o I must admit that Best Buy takes much better care of their instruments than GC, way less selection, but much better quality IMO. Believe it or not, it had a nearly perfect action out of the box, yes it was in a box, not hanging on a wall to be abused. Low and behold, I went to try it out and noticed the date on the back of the peghead was 2008, it was a new old stock from 08, CRAAAZZY, huh??? Anyhow it's pretty awesome, here's some snapshots[cool]
Blackie Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 .............OK pull the plastic on that bad boy and crank it up.............we look forward to hearing about your first ding.
SG fan 420 Posted May 1, 2010 Author Posted May 1, 2010 Yes it is, but I think of it this way, the Standard is like a pair of designer jeans but my Special is like a comfy pair of sweatpants, with it's faded finish and sanded neck[biggrin]
Blackie Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 ........My SG Standard is like a pair of well fitting but paint covered Levi's............my SG Raw Power is like a pair of khaki shorts........don't wear them much......
jimmiJAMM Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 My SG's are like Hollywood hookers. Selling one of them *****es tomorrow for $1,800.00 cash. Not too shabby
SG fan 420 Posted May 1, 2010 Author Posted May 1, 2010 Thanx man, gave the normal $1199 for it, since it was still in the box, and not hanging up getting fondled by everyone[cool]
Gibson4life Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 Wow I love the grain, and it's not orange like most Standards. Congrats, play her till she can't be played.
