martin_gotte's Metal Pedalboard

I own a black SG Special. Fat mahogany neck with unbound rosewood fretboard, dot markers, two piece mahogany body, 490R/490T pickups. This is an amazing guitar, it is highly resonant, sounds warm and throaty on the neck pickup position, has an awesome rhythm sound on the middle position and a clear and aggressive bridge pickup sound. All pickup positions are very well balanced. Although the neck is chunky, it is very easy to play. My impression is that the fat neck improves both the stability and sound of this SG compared to slim taper neck SGs. This guitar is very versatile and can be used in every possible style of music.

I own a 1991 ebony Studio and played it on countless gigs and in the studio. 1 piece mahogany back, 3 piece maple top, comfortable medium-sized mahogany neck, ebony fretboard, no binding, 490R/498T pickups. The neck pickup sounds warm and jazzy when played clean, and throaty and singing when distorted. The middle pickup position delivers a great rhythm sound, while the bridge pickup can sound (positively) gnarly in a clean setting and aggressive and rich when distorted. Due to the ebony fretboard, this guitar has a sharp attack and sounds more like a LP Custom than a LP Standard. This guitar has a great 70s/80s hard rock Les Paul Sound and is a real workhorse.
