Nice guitar!!! I plugged it in to a couple of amps and it rocks!
I haven't done the full test, though...
It's essentially a mint condition guitar.
A bit noisy in the pick up selection modes, though. Might be some bad miniswitches, and it needs some shielding.

I gotta run,, but I just want to let you know it's here,,,, and it DOES exist. I was beginning to wonder, myself. Especially after the check cleared!

    ha ha, good to see it in your hands.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    I must know how it sounds. How do you like it?

    How is the new Mini?

    I just performed the transplant surgery, and it was successful!

    It sounds great!
    I have it wired so that when you tap the tone knob for each pickup, the knob pops outward and splits the humbucker, tap it again, and it's full tilt boogie humbucker mode. I can change it, there are a lot of different ways to wire the pickups, but maybe I'll leave it this way, and you can always change it later to in phase/ out of phase etc, but you'll probably never use those combos. I think it's better this way, as the simpler the better sometimes.
    To tell you the truth, the pickups rawk out more than the PRS pickups I took out! I think they're a better fit for this guitar.
    Let me know what amp you play through most and maybe I can tweak it a bit to match up.

    If this is the way you'd like it wired, (say yes :D) then I'll resolder and finish it up tomorrow night and the official:
    "Neenerbean Signature Model Epiphone Korina SG with Seymour Duncan Zebra Coil '59 Split Humbuckers and Gold Hardware to Match the Neenerbean Hair" will be ready to rock and roll!

    Sure, lotsa thunder for Bob.

    No thunder for the rest of us?

    I could be hot, too.

    Okay, I'm not, but for all you know, I *could* be.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    My sincerest appologies to Paco, Ex and Mig (you guys rock and you know it), but this is the coolest post I've read on this forum for a while :p

    Too bad it's not about me though.

    And if anything looks hot, it's that guitar. Smokin' hot.

    Personally I think the marriage with the 59's is probably better than what the original owner put in for that specific guitar.

    Those Artists are badass but the 59's just fit that SG.

    I'd like to hear them when you get them into what ever you get them in Bob.

    Those 59's are great in that SG. The guitar is really light with the korina so it's more of a rockin' out piece anyway.

    The Artists are going to go on a little expedition to different guitars. I want to hear how they sound in my '82 ES 355 to try out for a bit of jazz sound. That's become my favorite guitar lately. I also have a couple of cheesy hollow body no-names that are nice wood, but need some good hardware and fretwork. I also ordered a pickguard jazz pickup from Fralin along with a set of stock Tele pups from him.

    I can't believe I don't have a tele around here! I'm gonna get the jigsaw and random orbit sander out when/if the weather gets nice and sit out on the patio of my new house and crank out a body. That's the easiest guitar to make if you ever want to try one yourself.
