Well, I decided to do some trading and pick up a new electric.

I wanted a workhorse that I could depend on and not worry about like my "homebrew" tele.

So, I picked up a PT SG. Now, I am one step closer to my goal of being a rock star.

An SG is the ultimate rock 'n' roll machine... not to mention P-90s being the ultimate rock pup.

The waiting drove me mad!!

    I want one too. I'd be envious but I'm happy for you. That guitar is rock personified.

    well, I have an amp... a Dr. Z Carmen Ghia. It is a little EL-84 monster. I run it through an old Fender 212 that I have V30s in... it is a good setup.

    I also play harmonica through that amp. Very versatile for just two knobs (volume and tone).

    I used to have a Hiwatt Custom 50, but I realized I wasn't going to play any stadiums any time soon... so, it was sold.

    I am excited about our show this weekend.

    I've got all these big old amps around, you really don't need them anymore. Whenever I go out to tour or play, little amps miked are so much better to me.
    I still even have an ampeg svt like 300 watt monster with an 8X10 cabinet. Just turning it ON pisses of the neighborhood!
    we had three of those in a band in like 1973 or so. Loud loud loud.

    Good luck with your gig and guitar

    Appreciated... I will try to work in a windmill or two...

    The SG is incredibly fast... definitely the fastest guitar I have ever played.

    BTW: my band is playing I Got Shit, Fortunate Son, and RITFW.

    It's like a mini PJ concert in our set.

    where did you find a PT SG. I've been searching hi and low. I can only find originals with P90's I don't want the lyre vibrato, I like to say in tune.

    There was a local shop... they made me a deal on a trade of my acoustic... I miss the acoustic, but for now, I needed a dependable gigging axe, and have no extra cash... so, I made the trade.

    I get a nice guitar and some cash in my pocket for bills.

    I have played an original SG Special with a stop piece... and this one is pretty close... it is very "alive" sounding.

    I agree about the tailpiece.

    Anyone ever play a guitar with the P-100 stacked humbuckers? They're supposed to be a slightly hotter P-90 with no hum, but the same tone. I don't buy it. Anyone?

    I have found P-100s to be a bit sterile... yeah, there is no hum, but at the same time it takes away the real character of P-90s... I don't like them(P-100s) much.

    However, I know some people who do like P-100s, but not as a P-90 substitute. Rather, as their own thing.

    Yeah, I kinda want that raunchy, dirty, unrefined P-90 sound. Warts and all!
