🔥 SG fever! 🔥

Recycling this pick pic of my SG, 'cause I can't find the full pic of it laying seductively on a blanket (posted somewhere here on the forum)...

I want more…

I'm in the middle of an SG journey myself. Bought a 2022 CS on the left, and just recently acquired the regular 2018 on the right. Trying to decide if I want the expensive one or not. Not sure... What a love-hate relationship with these things.

When I pick them up they are the best guitars ever. So fun to play, great vibe, hello upper frets nice to meet you...
When I put them down, I swear to myself I'm gonna sell them. Neck dive, awkward holding position, etc...

The CS is really light at 6 lbs. so it's all neck weight. I put 6 oz in the control cavity and use a wide leather strap and it's all good. But it's still bothersome compared to a Les Paul. Decisions decisions.

But man do I want a white one so bad but they are hard to find.

Also, hands down the best resource for SG info. It has the production specs of every SG model/year made.

SG. The guitar you never played, until you did and you never stopped.

Here’s mine with some brethren.

There's a white Greco with a Bigsby on Reverb. It's yellowed quite a bit. 78 iirc. Not a Gibson but a good copy with real rosewood etc.

With an Axe!

G-400 Faded? Is it silly I like the fact it has the Gibson truss cover? Was literally everything I wanted to try in an SG for CHEAP!

but.... Then again now I need to go and spend thousands after getting hooked... Nuts.

Greco's back in the "lawsuit guitar days" were made by.............................Tokai.

Epiphone Short Scale SG Bass Bass VI/baritone conversion. My soul mate

 

[DAJE]

Epiphone G-400. Bought 2nd hand, very cheap. Tuned in open E for slide.

There's nothing wrong with the original pickups, they're good sounding AlNiCo humbuckers, but I have some Lace Alumitones installed here, which are great, and work really well in this context.

Back of the headstock: I swapped out the metal windy bits for black plastic, which greatly reduced the neck dive.

Only thing I don't like about it is the headstock shape; Gibson sabotaging the look of the SG so as to make owners want to "upgrade" from the Epi.

My absolute favorite sg model. As a massive George Harrison and Badfinger fanatic, the 61 w/ vibrola has been my dream guitar ever since I played one at day 1 of NAMM 2019 when they were announced. Before that, I had been searching for one of the 2013 “SG original” models for years hoping to get my hands on one. To me, the look and feel of those is just absolute, quintessentially “power-pop”!

Here are some of mine.

I know that technically this is a Les Paul, I still count it as a SG.

You don't say? Greco in Italian means Greek so just like in The Wire, the Greek isn't even Greek. And Tokaj is a type of Hungarian wine. What's it doing in Japan?!
The plot thickens.

Ibanez is a Spanish name. I mean, apart from Yamaha, is there any Japanese guitar company with a Japanese name?

EDIT: And Takamine. So, I guess there are a few...
