stratslinger Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I am totally torn between three SG's and would be grateful for some considered opinions - I am looking at the 61 RI in white, Supreme (obviously 2nd hand) or a limited edition Standard 60's in white or silverburst (its constructed like the 61, but with slim taper 60's neck, ebony fretboard with burstbucker 3 and Burstbucker 1 - both coil tapped). I know it is all down to my choice, but I just can't decide - I want them all!!! Pricewise there is very little in it. Thanks in anticipation of your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondJig Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 If you want a 60's type neck the supreme's that I've played or more like 50's neck. I think the LTD 60's standard is a GC/MF exclusive with full face PG. If price doesn't matter I'd go with the RI, I like the small PG and PU rings look better.

SG FAN Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Standard 60s all day, much cheaper than the 61 RI just as good in my eyes. Unless you can find a really nice SG Supreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratslinger Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Ty forthw comments so far My lean is toward the STD 60's (price nicer), but i do prefer the smaller scratchplate. I've been offered a very nice supreme and as much as I drool, I prefer workhorse guitars that can take a bit of roughing up. I recently got a Lp junior bja in White. Wicked guitar! That said, I love them all in different ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Music Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 The Supreme has 24 frets and had an ebony fret board and is brighter than my 2008 61 RI. I love them both. My special has a fatter neck and gets me better jazz tones with the 490s. 3 SGs for different sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom brown Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 If i bought the limited edition with the slim taper neck for 1300, i can get the four conductor aftermarket '57" pickups, then i am only in for 1500... hmmm bet the coil splits would be better to..... comments?
