Riffster Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I can't seem to take good guitar pics and black guitars are the hardest but here are pics of my new SG to comply with forum etiquette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALFA ROMEO CORSE Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Very nice, I want the same!! The body is '61 RI and body/neck joint is like on the SG Standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Very nice SH, I noticed it's stated as a rounded neck profile - 50's style? Kind of undecided about the rosewood fingerboard but it's still an awesome SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Very nice SH, I noticed it's stated as a rounded neck profile - 50's style? Kind of undecided about the rosewood fingerboard but it's still an awesome SG. It is weird, it is rounded but it tapers more than a standard SG neck. Like a Les Paul 50's neck with a bit less shoulders. An ebony fingerboard would have been a great touch on this guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Yea, they're cool as hell. If Batman played guitar he'd play one of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 I looked in the control cavity to see if this guitar had the circuit board electronics but it does not, all the controls, switch and input jack are so neatly aligned that I thought for sure it would have the new kind of pots. Nope, the controls are Gibson branded CTS. Input jack is a Switchcraft. The caps are blue, never seen those but they have to go. I wish Gibson used good Orange drops in the USA line, they are so cheap and better than these ceramic caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 My old 2009 Firebird V also had those blue caps. My guess is Gibson uses those when they run out of the typical orange ones. I think they only put the PCB on SGs for a short while in 2009 unless the '61RIs never had a PCB. I know 2009 SG Standards did but 2010s do not. This is exaclty what you need! I'm waiting on a set of pickups so I can drop this into my historic SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Wow the clips on the Wizz Pickups website are quite possibly the best sounding clips I have ever heard. Damn you Tim!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandre Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think they only put the PCB on SGs for a short while in 2009 unless the '61RIs never had a PCB. I know 2009 SG Standards did but 2010s do not. I had a late 2010 SG Standard and it had PCB in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
