    Ah congrats man, she's beautiful, great finish. I'd almost take that over Teal. :)

    playing it last night was kind of like shock and awe. i knew it was going to be good but i had no idea it would be that good.

    My dear lord, that's even better than the e-bay picks. Worth the wait.

    That is one beautiful matching of wood, the burst looks perfect and it's all even. I haven't seen very many that look that good.

    Lotsa bite, and a neck unlike any other...

    Hell, I could even string that upside down and play it myself!

    Someday, among all the guitars I want to own, an SG is waiting for me.

    How're the tuners holding up?

    the tuners are fine. the only issue is this crack at the headstock that appeared. depending on the tech you ask, it's either just a lacquer check or the beginning of the end. mind you, the tech that thinks it's doomed is an asshole so who knows.

    Yeah, I caught that on the other threads...

    Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear, he eats you.

    It can't be as bad as the Ibanez ArtCore I recently sold, shipped, got broke, and returned. Headstock was completely gone when I got it back. I have a profound hatred for FedEx after that...

    It's the only thing that makes me hesitant about SG's. They look like an instrument of death, but they're fragile as hell.

    i played the absolute shit out of it this weekend and it stayed solidly in tune and intact.

    my guitars don't see a lot of travel or high risk activity so i really can't see it slipping any further.

    and if it breaks, well, lots of techs are skilled enough to do a headstock repair.

    It's not a REAL SG until it's been spliced...

    In the last week, two of my friends aquired SG's. One even got two of 'em. Another has a '62 reissue in gorgeous shape. I love all of them (even if the neck is from frickin' Mars). But I just keep waiting for one of them to slip... it's gonna happen...

    My Tele could bash it's way through cinderblocks, and remain unharmed. My Cort is technically defined by the Department of Defense as "armor-piercing."

    It's amazing how much a Tele with the proper pickups will sound like an SG...
