dxdgenert Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Little bit of an "odd duck" here... SG Special in Satin Ebony. Basically a black Faded-series with 490 pickups and a nice hardshell case. Quick question, if the bridge intonation screws are supposed to face the neck then why does Gibson consistently put the bridges on backwards?

Hydra26 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Don't think it really matters, does it? The posts will dictate that the whole assembly is slightly biased for intonation and that it's jsut ma matter of adjusting the saddles. Personally I find it more convenient to adjust the intonation with the screws towards the back. If they do it consistently, maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. Congrats by the way, always fun to get a new toy. I personally like all the little things I have to do after I get it home to make it really "mine." It's nice bonding time with the new axe for me.

sneakerpimp Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Quick question, if the bride intonation screws are supposed to face the neck then why does Gibson consistently put the bridges on backwards? anyone at Gibson reading this? don't worry about it, just flip it next time you change your strings.

sneakerpimp Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 congrats on the new axe btw! i love the look of the black fadeds. the later Gothics have had that same finish since 2006--if i didn't have mine already i definitely would have given this model a serious look.

dxdgenert Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Did a little research and it seems like the vintage Tune-O-Matics are supposed to have the intonation screws facing the neck, while the newer Nashville Tune-O-Matics have them facing the tail piece. It probably doesn't make a bit of difference but it is just a nit-pick of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfox14 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I love black SGs. That's what I play. Yours is a very cool looking guitar. I've only seen ABRs with the adjustment screws facing the neck, so I assumed that's the way they're supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
