Poor form knocking a mans NGD. 

Go to the back of the room.. now.

HNGD @fastonebaz . SG’s are awesome, there’s been a lot of talk about them recently again and tbh my GAS levels are peaking. Good score

More interesting to hear everyone's opinions on new guitars rather than just reading 15 comments saying 'Nice guitar mate'

Then perhaps you could start a different thread to discuss some of your likes and dislikes? New buyers start threads to show off their new pride and joy, not to have someone run through a number of reasons as to why they don’t like it without actually saying congrats on taking the plunge. 

Again, poor form. 

If people want their head patting and being told what clever little boys they are for buying a nice guitar they can go get that from their mothers. I'm sure the OP has thick enough skin to handle someone preferring a different colour binding to what is on his guitar.

Actually, maybe you're right, it's probably worth reading two dozen 'nice guitar mate, well done you brave man' comments to avoid excruciating passive aggressive comments like "poor form." from nerds on the internet

You're new here aren't you?

@humbucko ;There's a time and a place for expressing your dislike of certain guitars, and it ISN'T when a guy is proudly showing off his new purchase. 

I haven't the foggiest idea whether the OP gives a shit about anyone else's opinion or not, but neither have you, so don't be a dick.  

I assume that given he is telling everyone about his new guitar that gives at least a reasonable shit about others' opinions

Another reasonable assumption, given he appears to be a functioning adult, would be that he's not the type to get upset over someone with a different taste in guitars

Enough with the hostility mate.

humbucko

If you don't like 'hostility' then it might be a good idea for you lot to not go full keyboard warrior when someone likes a different colour binding to you

Boy there are some stroppy cunts on here at the moment - is it a full moon or something?

Who actually went full keyboard warrior exactly? Seems to me the only person derailing the thread and leaving multiple ranting posts is you. As it’s been mentioned if you want to discuss the  pros and cons of certain models start a thread about it but don’t come on a shit all over someone else’s thread....it’s not about blindly “patting each other on the head” it’s about having an element of respect for the OP and the purpose of the thread.

I think it looks well cool!  Glad to hear it plays as good as it looks.  Nice acquisition!

Ah, the SG. The guitar that God himself* plays...

Not me mate, just been replying to the many people (you included) who decided to cry about me replying to this thread with anything other than 'well done you brave soul'

It's funny that the only person in this thread not crying about my reply is OP himself

Lovely guitar OP. Enjoy it in good health.

How to make friends and influence people eh? Pity there’s not a douchebag button to go along with the lol, wisdom, etc

Yes, a bunch of internet forum diehards are definitely the people I'd seek out for advice on socialising 

digitalscream

Right, because it's all been quoted over and over, I'm not going to start editing the bullshit comments out. All I'll say is...

@humbucko - knock it off with the attitude. If you want to start an argument, please do it elsewhere.

Everyone else - no need for further comment. Let's just leave it there and let the OP enjoy his new guitar.

Well I think it looks great. Nice guitar @fastonebaz ;;

fastonebaz is either exhibiting his maturity, or he’s got better things to do on a Tuesday afternoon. Either please follow his example.

fastonebaz

@humbucko i spent 5s reading your opinion.   5s thinking about my own opinion on the subjects.  60s replying with my opinion.  Moved on.  great comms everyone.  I still love it.  Plays awesomely.  It doesn't seem to neck dive on me.

Next week i may have some video footage of the gig Friday

JerkMoans

Nice work @fastonebaz

Glad you're happy: play the shit outta the fucker

richardhomer

Looks great - particularly like the binding, the lack of a ‘poker chip’, kidney tuners and the black knobs!

HNGD - hope you enjoy it.

I think you should check out rule number 1.

1 - it's exactly the same as the yellow binding on older guitars.  It just hasn't gone yellow yet.
2 - up is neck, down is bridge.  Middle is both, which funnily enough the chip fails to mention but people manage to find it just the same.
3 - good
4 - I prefer the look of 'tulip' Klusons, granted - but I bet these sealed efforts will still be working in ten years
