I wish I had one! I've never been a Gibson guy, can't afford to be, heh.

I like SG's though. Derek Trucks plays them SG's, doesn't he? He is one bad a** player too. Slide master at young age.

Derek may own and play SG's from time to time but I believe he still has a Washburn endorsement. He let me play his one night and they felt very much like a Gibson.

yep...although he did play an acoustic guitar for one song with ec but i'm not sure what kind it was (he then went back to the sg while eric and doyle stayed acoustic)....he also plays a lot of slide on his wife susan tedeschi's latest album and a lot of it sounds like a mic'ed resonator.....

I've seen Derek play for the ABB twice (each of last 2 years) and both times played his red SG. I LOVE his playing.

U met him?? and played his guitar?!

Yup. I spent his 18th birthday with him. The story is somewhere on thefret.

So I guess he doesn't have the Washburn endorsement anymore?

I checked his web site and no mention of Washburn there. I'll bet he still has them though. They were super nice expensive axes surely he wouldn't part with them after going through puberty with them.

Thanks Brian. I like the smaller pg too. It wasn't a concern when I purchased it, but to me it gives the guitar a better appearance - personal preference.

I noted in another thread that a friend had a Gibson like this when we were probably about 10 years old and every time he opened the case, I was filled with envy. Now when I open the case I flash back to those days. I don't play it much, but it's special.

Hmm, maybe I'll play it today:)

Haha, I was pretty good this year. I bought a couple cheapies for about $100 each, but also sold a guitar for $300, so I'm actually ahead this year.

;)

I honestly think I'm pretty close to stasis and will probably only buy stuff when I stumble on really great deals (which is how I got those 2 cheapies this year, one in a pawn, one new on closeout). I'm definitely not looking for anything specifically or gassing for any particular guitar.

From what I've heard, you may wanna see if you can play one of the Fadeds, some people really don't like the finish while others it doesn't bother. I've seen some people buff up their Fadeds with carnauba wax and other stuff, and I did like the glossier look better.

No direct experience, so fwiw, ymmv.

Great price though. I have the same neck pickup in my Studio LP DC and like it just fine.

MIne is a 1968 SG special. It has the p90s and the vibrolo tail piece. It is the exact same guitat that Pete Townsend made famous. I have owned it since 1969. It was used by a band for the first year and I have never touched the guitar, and kept it completely stock except for string changes.

Yes I meant modified. I have played the shit out of it. Back about the mid 80s I was going to put a set of Hummbuckers in it and the tech talked me out of it. It has one of those baseball bat necks and has the lowest action of any guitar I hve ever seen. Those original p90s sure sound good.
While I was in the shop I asked him if he had a case for it, and he said all he had was this old plastic Gibson case. I got it for 40 bucks. It was one of the original protector cases.

March 15th, 2008, 07:09 AM
Yes I realize that now. Back then it was just a 12 year old guitar. Now it is 40 years old and what a difference originality makes. I was really surprised by the case's increase in collectibility. When I bought it, the case was new old stock, and the guy couldn't sell it. All I needed was a case to store my guitar at home and 40 bucks was good. The case the guitar came with was one of those old brown aligator look cases and it had the band name stencilled on in yellow paint. It was more like a cardboard box and wasn't the original. Now those "Protector cases" are highly sought after for Vintage LPs and SGs. Heck I have a 40 year old Fender strap that I have had in that case for all those years. It is one of those pencil thin leather straps with the thin leather shoulder pad. My buddy gave it to me back in 68. It came With the Jazz Bass. The only thing I don't have is the orginal slot head screw to hold the whammy bar in place. But I have a phillips head, in the correct 10/32 thread.

Check it from the butt end of the body and usually that is one of the easiest places to spot the glue lines. Nothing wrong with multiple pieces of wood to make a body, but that's been covered in another thread.

bottom line - that's a sweet SG.

I think they generally range from 8.5 to 10 pounds, depending on wood batch, "weight relief"/chambering, flat-top vs. archtop, and singlecut vs. doublecut.

But that's just a guess, I've never weighed any of the 3 Gibson LP's (or for that matter, any LP-type guitars) I've owned. One person has reported ranges from 7.5 to 11 pounds (with ~9 pounds being average):

Hmm, I've just found this:

The average LP Standard weights at around 9,0lbs but you can find some lighter ones if you´re lucky (mine weights 7,5lbs) and there are some hefty 10 pounders around if you´re in for a workout. (Some 80´s LP´s can even be found at shoulder busting 11lbs!!!)

Historic models are non-weight relieved but Gibson selects the lightest woods for them. Standards have 7-9 weight relieve holes carved under the top (like a Swiss cheese)

I beat ya to it-- see my post directly above yours. ;)



Historic models are non-weight relieved but Gibson selects the lightest woods for them. Standards have 7-9 weight relieve holes carved under the top (like a Swiss cheese).

Regarding weight relief, it depends on the age of the LP. I am not sure when weight-relief began (Gibson didn't tell the public about it), but don't think it existed in the 70's and probably most if not all of the 80's (though I'm guessing). Moreover, Gibson recently (within the last year or so) stopped Swiss-cheesing guitar bodies and now chambers them instead. The idea is to produce a guitar with sound chambers that actually enhance the tone rather than merely relieve weight. That's also how the old Guild Bluesbirds were built.

those Dillions definitely look good. Mahogany body, bound neck and nice headstock and a P-90 option for 300,00$. Seems like a a better deal than an Epi.

OK, that cinches it.

Before I die, I MUST play in a band called "Jangling Noise Machine."

That is all.

check out my pics for my sg pic. Its the sg faded, but what is truly unique about my sg is that the serial number shows that it was built in november of 2003. I started to learn how to play within 5 days of it being built. I just bought this guitar about a month ago and I've never owned an upper scale guitar before this one so i'm sort of freaked about it.

Pretty dark where you are hey ;)

Cool though. Gotta love the SG's. I wouldn't mind acquiring one at some point.

Flipping through the TV channels last night I came across a music video by a band where both guitarist used SGs & the bass player plaed an SG bass.

I was surprised that the drummer wasn't playing an SG kit.

I think the band's name was Pinhead.

also my favorite reason for getting an SG one day. #2 would be Derek Trucks.

I made it to 1:58.

I guess I'm not advanced enough to aprreciate Zappa.

Sounds like unmusical noodling to me.

I keep getting e-mail telling me I subscribed to this thread - I don't even know how to subscribe to a thread, but this damn thing keeps popping up with an e-mail notice.

Here's mine. It's actually an Epi, but it plays very well. I prefer it to my Gibson LP. IIRC the model is an SG-400 Custom. I Googled it one day and up popped a photo of Hendrix playing one, so I feel all the more happy about owning it. Picked it up via Yahoo auctions in near-brand-new condition for just under $200.

There's no reason to feel even slightly unhappy or doubtful about it if it delivers the goods when you play it. Nice looking SG.

It's an Epiphone SG. It is a "Sound of Rock" special custom shop edition with the Gibson SG standard type of full pickguard under the pups.

It is an awesome guitar and sounds really great. I love it.

I compared this Epiphone SG, see truss rod cover label, to at least five other Epi SG copies at GC including that really cool light blue metallic one, and a couple G-400's. I really "wanted" one of them, but the tone of this "SOR" 1966 Gibson SG standard copy was so far superior to the tone of the other five I couldn't believe it. It was a way superior guitar in my limitted opinion I couldn't believe it. Even exact same SG copies sounded different from each other but all sounded thin compared to this excellent SG copy. The tone was so full and louder than the others and it said Custom Shop in the insignia at the back of the headstock, supposedly means nothing, but going by this guitar it clearly stood out from the crowd; maybe for other reasons. Plus I love the full pickguard but would not hesitate to get a black one with a teardrop pickguard.

Right now I want a black EB-3 Epiphone SG copy bass.
