Thanks everyone. It definitely is a snazzy guitar.

I was looking at Corsairs as well. They seem like a really, really nice guitars.

Heres my two main guitars;
ESP LTD VB-300 Baritone. I've changed the pups since this pic was taken. Currently rockin a Wild Bill Lawrence L500XL in the bridge, with a 250K pot and a Dimarzio Paf Pro in the neck, with a 500k pot. Tuned to B Standard.


THis is my everyday E standard guitar. It's a plain jane Gibson SG Special. I've also swapped the pups out for the same config as above... BL500XL and a Paf Pro. Sounds great!

HAPPY NGD SONISOMBRERO. I didn't even know there was a Squier Thinline. Chinese?

I had a NGD me ownself:

2006 (according to that internetz serial number decoder) Gibson SG Gothic Morte (US). I actually had it on layaway for a month and today was the day to bring her home. These don't have the thick satin finish that the Epi Gothics have. Neigh it is a thin Satin Ebony Nitro.



This guitar is something of a basket case.



I picked it up for $300 plus the government from the Local GC .

As you can see it's pretty slutty. There is a headstock repair. Some dings and wear. Someone attempted to recess straplocks and when that likely proved inconvienent they put standard strap button is off centered places. This feels like it was likely some punk's touring guitar. I brought the guitar to a tech buddy of mine and he tugged on the headstock a few times and he said the repair was stable enough. He did mention putting some structural epoxy on the repair and sanding it down to blend it in.

The truss rod is free and works so that's good.

Digging around I discovered that these originally came with Open Coil pickups and Active electronics,...but popping open the hood reveals that the active electronics have been gutted and the pickups replaced with passives, which I prefer for guitar. The neck pickup is lovely. Nice and bassy,...hot like a like. The bridge pickup is week seeming and really thin sounding. I pretty much always play on the neck pickup so that probably isn't a big deal.

The nice thing about buying used from GC is that they have a good return policy. I'm not completely sold on the SG. They did have a black 98 Flattop Les Paul Special that I checked out and really liked. Weighed a ton. They wanted $450 for it,...so I may wind up taking the SG back and putting the credit towards the LP.

Yes it is but it is definitely a good one... Plays smooth as shit and has that low low action...

I remember when you put that on Layaway... If it sucks just get what you want or credit for something on their used site... I almost got an SG tonight but I guess JesusBuddhaAllah wanted me to have the Tele...

Awesome,...I love me some tele action.

It just seemed like a wayward teen when I was demoing it,...needed to be brought home and shown some compassion/given a new lease on life. It was filthy and strung up really ugly. The A and D strings were wrapped around the tuning pegs in reverse. I cleaned it up and slapped a new set of DR 50-11s on it,...tuned it to drop C and it sounds great with fuzz. Clean though leaves something to be desired. I'm also struggling to get the intonation right. I don't know. I just need to sleep on it a few days and see how I feel about it after that.

Oh and it feeds back like a motherfucker,...which is not necessarily a bad thing.

[warwick.hoy]

So playing the guitar more; it's fretting out on the bottom "E" string against the first fret. It's not a huge deal but I'm taking it back. Which is a shame cause it's an otherwise cool guitar. The LP Special has a hold on it until Aug 19th,...so new guitar day get's put off for a month. Or maybe they will push the fret back into place for me. I don't,...we shall see.

[sonidero]

I'm taking it back.

Sucks, the moar I play mine the better it gets... See if you can get credit plus free shipping from the used site on whatever you want...

[warwick.hoy]

That's not a bad idea. I see they have an Mooger Fooger MF105B for the same price on the used site. I've been missing mine since I sold it last year. I should be saving up for a new amp which I'm in more need of than anything else.
