I don't care, I love my SG!

I love my '94 Special w/ebony neck. I took this homeless baby in...wrong tuners, cracked pick guard, and crummy 490's. I took one look and knew a treasure was there...I nurtured her back to health, gave her the original beauty she was endowed with...and of course improved her voice with EMG's and now she sings like an Angel.

Great Story man!

Possibly in the wrong section though?

Quite. Keep adolescent masturbation to the main forum. (honestly, i guarantee that the OP probably didn't realize he even posted here and will not return.)

An SG with EMGs looks like a tricycle with five wheels.

"Crummy 490s" swapped for EMGs ... yeah, thanks, I'll pass.

Re: I don't care, I love my SG!

It's always fun having a project work out so well. I did the same thing 20 years ago with an old Fiesta Red ESP strat that no one wanted. I put a Fender '55 baseball bat neck, put in Barden pickups and upgraded the pots. It now screams. Anyway, it's a guitar that I'll never sell. Thanks for sharing your story!

I have a use for those crummy 490's if you still have them.

Re: I don't care, I love my SG!

At first I thought the pic was of the guitar before, because I just couldn't imagine anyone willingly installing EMGs in their guitar.

But whatever works for you, OP. It does look like a sweet player.
