I have been spending way too much on fun gear because I can. Before I get in to this beauty I will tell you how I got here.

Long story short - when you own a DE Dunable and a USA custom one the quality of the DE is about 80 - 90% of a USA version. After the mad GAS flip I had a month ago it sat in a case and I only picked it up about 4 time since getting it. I LOVE my DE and that one is a sold keeper of a guitar but I knew I had to trade it as I simply don't have the space to store more than 4-5 instruments. Plus it had dual coil taps and I am just a one volume knob player.

May weeks of mad GASing local shops left me unsatisfied until I went to Parrot Dice Guitars ( Multnomah Village in Portland Oregon) - Jay and Alex were fucking rad dudes and chatting he handed me this 1970 SG which was played loved with TREX carved in the back. I instantly fell in love - the abuse and love this instrument had endured I knew what to do.

The tuners are all mis-matched which I love - its missing the decorative tail piece and the pick up are defiantly not original ( DeMarzzio Vintage Style pickups)

Just an over all sick instrument.

You know its a lot thicker than most SG necks I have tried but its still baby wrist thin at the first position. I used to not bitch about weight and balance but this guy is light at 7.5 lbs and its perfectly balanced for my dad gut.

That's bad ass, MaxMaps.

Hellllllllllllll yeah

Thanks dudes! I will take pictures of the body and back tonight. I plugged it in to my mis-mashed high gain board and it was glorious with scratchy pots and all.

that's right - that's a thing with the taper from super slim at the first to much thicker as you climb - very cool! glad to hear it sounds great (like, duh, of course) and looks-wise it is 100% rad.

Nice variation to have when your other is a Dunable too

Cool SG !

A friend in college had a 70s SG gifted to him by his brother-in-law. Weirdly narrow at the nut, not the most amazing guitar I ever played, but there was a coolness and a vibe to it. Better deal than my asshole brother trading gear I leant to him for coke and shrugging it off.

That SG is pretty amazing Max

I love it so much - my wife is the only one who is like "everyone likes that ratty beat up guitar?!"

This is the best way to describe it - I love things that have character ( like my cyclops - its super different from anything out there)

Anyways here is the back of this thing - its still really in good shape minus the branding.

thats a pretty sick sg!

yrotcaF zzuF get! Quite different from my 2001 one, more splatty and brighter. The old one is a more muffled sound. Don't know how much the spammies contribute to this. Might as well be slight changes in manufacturing or parts over 16 years. I dig it though!

good shot of that neck profile too
that headstock

lol....the postal person cometh...the neighbors complaineth.


...and believe it or not, there are still more dwarfcraft to chase down

A dude on kijiji near Toronto has this Somms for sale if that’s one you happen to be looking for.

Very much appreciate the heads up. I have managed to find a SOMMS a while back. That pricing is also absurd for a SOMMS.

Fair enough! I always like to keep an eye out if I know someone is looking for something in particular!

GAS continues - took a break today and re bough the MXR Carbon Copy - probably going to relist my Strymon Volante and Specacular Tempest - Great pedals but for what I am trying to accomplish I really don't need the sounds and I can put the money towards other fun things.
