Best SG I've ever played.
I fell in love with this SG from the first note and had to own it. It has a big chunky neck and the body really resonates when its set-up with a rod straight neck and the action on the high side. The stock 490r neck pickup is warm and sparkly, however I was underwhelmed by the 498t at the bridge. It didn't jive with my favored amplifier, the Vox AC30. At a guitar show I swapped a pedal for an ld Gibson T-top Humbucker with pretty low DCR and installed it at the bridge. It completed the package making my SG into my favorite rock axe.
I have named this guitar El Superbeasto, but she will answer Beasto for short.

Nice! I had a cherry condition 1972 for a while and loved it. It was a dream to play with a slide.

I don't follow rory, my standard's a regular old off the shelf standard, purchased in Maryland from the fine fellows at atomic music with all the case candy even though its second hand. my silver special is a regular old gison in a cool silver finish, purchased beat-to shit with all the lacquer worn off (as lacquer does versus poly) from the sam ash near Nashville... my sivler LP is an American platinum edition, purchased in seatlle. None of 'em made in china. My one Chinese Gibson-alike is the epi joe bonamassa thatw as an impulse by I have been regretting a little. Its an okay guitar, its just not that great and it was pretty expensive for what I got. I wish I ahd trid one in person. oh well.
