Nick Beach Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 What else do you think Gibson did wrong? I only wish the horns tapered off at the end and the red was a bit darker on mine. The red on mine is actually really nice IMO. I'm not really complaining. As far as the neck and tone' date=' I couldn't be happier. I love my SG! I'll keep it forever. It's by far my favorite.[/quote'] I've got a few things including, the masking job on the headstock by the nut was not so hot, it looks like it's running a bit. Someone didn't scrape all the paint off the binding, the frets were dead flat, no crowning on it for sure. The pickup cover on the neck pup is not level with the pup. There is also a few finish buggers here and there, and I hate beyone hate that circuit board inside. But some how this guitar still manages to be my favorite I've ever owned.

Silenus Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Hi, not my first SG (used to have an Epi G400) but now the real thing and very pleased with her Gibson SG Standard (2005 Nashville) Maybe I'm gonna put a maestro on it in a near future... Greets P.S.: what tuners do you people normally buy to replace those green ones ? (thanks...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Hey Silenus welcome to the forum. Very nice lookin SG! The stock tuners are great IMO but many people replace them with Grover Rotomatics. They're a little "tighter" feeling. They're easy to install and don't require any drilling etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olioli Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I don't usually dig the faded finishes but this black SG is really nice! Reminds me of a Jackson DR3 I use to have in the 90's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dem00n Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Drizzt it looks much better with the original black pickguard IMO. Why? it looks diffrent.

SG FAN Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 No offense to anyone but the red sg std is getting really ****ing boreing. I would get if i got a good deal though. To each his own, but in my eyes, when you see boring, I see classic beauty. What about all the sunburst Les Pauls, you see more of those than cherry SGs.
