    look hun, it's my initials... backwards. :D

    i'm joking. she's not pissed. i was supposed to be saving for the trip to scotland though. good thing i got a raise last week.

    this is literally a custom-ordered SG. it's not supposed to be available in that colour left-handed.

    It is a beautiful guitar. Hell, it's rare, it's beautiful, hard to get. You have to snag something like that when you can!

    Scotland's been around for about 62 million years! Another few weeks shouldn't make much difference!


    You can tell her I said that if you want. :D

    I still love my 68 sg. Great guitar.
    SG's and Strats are good "sitting on the couch guitars", too. The cord jacks don't get in the way.

    I don't know if you remember that I had the '57 and '58 Les Pauls that I sold last spring. They were collectors items, and very cool,,, but in reality, my SG plays better than either of those did. I put Seymour Duncans in it a while back and made it even sound better than the Pauls.

    You'll love your SG!

    Scotland's cool, too!

    Hell doesn't allow such SG's... prepare to be playing a $15 Ibanez for all eternity

    That's a beauty! What's the point in Christmas other than buying yourself expensive guitars? A big package arrived the other day and it turned out paw had gone and bought himself a Fender Jaguar without telling anyone.

    There you go dear, your gift to me is sorted. Now I'll head down the local newsagent and get you a recipe book like usual...more guitars in the house means more for me to play though! :)
    scottish by birth, british by law and 'weegie by the grace of god...!!!!! FUCK THE QUEEN!!!

    Thats awesome Ex....nice guitar. Maybe you can lend me some cash towards my new amp...hahaha. If I can make one suggestion though, If you are going to play this one alot I would suggest changing out the tuning peg on there for a set of grovers....I just find that all gibsons plastic pegs never keep the guitar in tune.

    Enjoy your early Christmas present!

    if it doesn't involve new drilling, i'll do it more than likely. otherwise it'll have to stay stock.

    Nice purchase...

    What pickups are in that?
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    Nice... should provide a fair amount of bite.

    Although... hehehe... a set of zebra-coil Burstbuckers would look pretty sweet...

    wow! tobacco sunburst, left handed, you kind of have to buy it..... I hope you like it.

    960 was a bargain anyway for that thing.

    and I thought it was cool I bought a new reverb......thanks once again for out pissing me Greg..... :)
    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.

    indeed I did. 50 bucks brand new, but my buddy tacked on a 2 year no questions warranty to the tune of 20 bucks. Normally I'd be against it, but he's giving it to me at cost and he's got to eat too.

    74 bucks brand new all total for a sweet little reverb pedal? cool. I like it better than the Little Lanilei, frankly because I can hear this one, it's a little too much but too much is better than too little. For what it is and what it costs it's really very nice.

    I also spent an hour in my local super high end Savage/Dr.Z/Roccaforte/ Two Rock.... etc dealer. He wanted 650 for a silverface reverb unit but only 395 for a retubed (Tesla) 65 Bassman head so maybe that's on the radar. My heart still lies with an original blackface super reverb.

    I'm seriously considering trading the AD 15 for a Savage Rohr or a DR Z Mazerati.

    Then I went to Guitar Center obviously and played a new sunburst American Deluxe into a Rivera Rake head a JCM 800 and a Vibrolux. I've decided, all things considered, I adore the S-1 switching and the American Deluxe in particular so that's still the one. It was an excellent use of a day off.

    On the wall they had a middle 60's single P-90 Epiphone Casino for $999 I'm not sure of what the price should have been but damn that was one fine guitar.

    I almost added a 2000 Super Hard On to my collection but they had $140 in it and you can get them new for almost that much. I think the barber is probably better anyway. 140 bucks for a simple one knob boost seems a little overkill.
