JamGuy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Thought it would be interesting to share a photo comparing the contour of a Derek Trucks SG vs. a 2003 61 Reissue. The DT is noticeably more contoured, including around the lower bout too. I have no preference either way... it's all good. I'm still trying to learn about SGs... I know that by model the contours vary, but do they also vary from guitar to guitar? The DT is the most contoured SG I've seen (though I haven't seen many different models or really compared them closely). I thought the DT was basically a 61 reissue with some cosmetic changes. Have the specs of the 61 Reissues changed over the years? What is the hitsory of the 61 Reissue? I know, so many questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondJig Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Looks like someone fell asleep at the sander. The DT is modeled after his personal guitar. The body's vary from year, the basic shape is cut by machine then hand finished. She has some nice curves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rutherford Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The custom shop SGs seem to have the more shapely contours of the early 60s models. The cheaper mass market models have the less chamfered horns and top and bottom edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
