Vintage SG??? We actually have our own place? How cool is that?
The "other" LP forums treat us like lepers. Gibson called my "61 a "Les Paul" but it has since been "down-graded" to an SG.
When I bought her she had a cracked neck, played just fine. 3 "PAF's", all the original hardware (except for the Rotomatics)...sounds amazing. I paid what one PAF was selling for at the time (1972), and a month later a dealer offered me 10 times what I paid for it. I was looking for a '50's Goldtop with P90's when I found this SG. Played her and just had to have her.
Now she needs a new nut, E and B strings are dragging...but the sound is still there, even through my little Valve Jr.
