theomont Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Hey all. My name is Theo and I just made my first Gibson purchase. I picked up this SG this past weekend at Guitar Center. It must have just been put out on the floor because it doesn't have that Guitar Center finish (scratches) anywhere on it. It's a white standard with the coil taps. It's my first Gibson and definitely won't be my last. It plays great right now but can't wait to play it with a proper setup. Here's a pic of it along with my other guitars. Here's the others in the collection, my Martin HD28 and American standards.
ics1974 Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Welcome to the forum. All your guitars look awesome. Congrats on the Gibson.
BigKahune Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Welcome. That's a great snag you've got there - ebony fretboard, coil taps. Congrats! Oh, and that other gear you've got by those other companies is pretty sweet too.
theomont Posted May 10, 2010 Author Posted May 10, 2010 Thanks all. It took a little while to get used to the weight but right about now I wish all my electrics were as light as the SG. What a great guitar.
SGSpecialguy Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 thats a sweet one man !! enjoy !! I know you will !! welcome aboard is right !! I really like that white finish
Jeff-7 Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Looks like you got the twin to mine Just got mine a couple months ago. Sharp axe!
NeoConMan Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Glad you survived the Guitar Center jungle safari and emerged with such a nice SG! From the looks of your other gear, you might have some experience in the matter. Good job.
Dub-T-123 Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Nice choice on that SG. You don't see too many white SGs. Your other guitars look great too. How do you like the coil taps?
theomont Posted May 10, 2010 Author Posted May 10, 2010 I've played around with the coil taps a bit and its a nice feature but don't think I'll be using it much. I may find a good sound I like with the coil taps but for the single coil sound I'll stick with the Fenders. In picking this SG I was going for the finish more than the coil tap feature.
kevoT Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 DAMN THAT'S NICE! sorry i really love white sg's, but i'm hoping in the near future i will be able to get and sg raw power in satin white.
Artie Owl Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I agree awesome SG in white, my second favorite SG finish, next to cherry of course
deelaz Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 A gibson sg with telecaster you just completed your life congrats!
Ronnie Robinson Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Wow that SG in white is a beauty ! and coil taps as well !
cabba2203 Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Nice SG! I want one in white as well....and silver sparkle...and green sparkle....and orange sparkle...and TV Yellow......:)
cowgard Posted May 16, 2010 Posted May 16, 2010 Very nice Theomont. Just got an SG Special at GC myself last week. I went looking at the Les Paul Studio worn finish as my budget didn't allow for a fancier Les Paul. But after checking out the stuff, I decided I liked the SG Special enough better to spring the extra couple of hundred bucks for it instead of the Les Paul. My Heritage Cherry ain't as pretty as that white beauty you got though. David
Gibson4life Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Nice! I love the white finish! One of my favorite SG finishes, and I also love the ebony fretboard. Congratz ;)
Daryl M Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 She's a beauty, she's always in the same mood you are, and the older she gets, the better she'll looks on your arm! Congrats!
Jon S. Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 Congrats on your new SG Theo-she looks great! Welcome to the family!!
