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.

On the left, 1961 SG Special. Badass Bridge, Dimarzio x2n in bridge pos., original P90 in neck. Serial # 30824
She ain't the prettiest belle at the ball but a true warhorse.

Sweet... the LP is really nice too. I had a '68 or '69 SG Special in walnut finish... loved the P-90's.

Re: Show 'em
Soon to be restored.......




A former roadie of the Allman brothers left this to his cousin, a good buddy of mine. Two previous heel breaks, some John Cippolina style body inlays and a Bigsby where the sideways trem was........

I will be photographing the whole process, just as I did with the SG Special above...

That's sweet Greg, looks like a '64 from the pickguard/ knob spacing.
Since you're so busy why don't you just give it to me?
