Just bought one of these in mint condition. Nice little guitar and looks really cool with it.

So a little side project to keep me busy. Just need a headstock veneer...

    Nice.
    I've wanted to give one a try - the trem looks cool.
    Never Ever Bloody Anything Ever.

    They build a good cheap guitar. Nice and solid, nothing is flimsy and it plays very well. No sharp fret ends or dead spots and a very low playable action. In fact too low for me, so will jack it up a little tonight, as its super slinky at the moment.

    Wow!
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Its a shame the offset shape means the trem doesn't follow the body outline.

    Other than that tiny detail, I love it

    Thing is I'm always a bit worried my Gibson SG headstock will get busted at gigs. This thing looks as though it'll be tough enough to survive drunken punters though.

    I know what you mean about the lines on the trem. 

    Just its blue! So it wins on the 'cool wall' for being not cherry red for once.

    Need to refinish the headstock with something non 'Gibson'.


    Thinking more like a plain black with some sort of weird logo. Would have done a ray gun, but then people would think its a ray gun relics.

    But something '50s and Sci-Fi cheesy would be cool.

    That's cool as anything.

    I always think its such a shame that the vast majority of SGs come in the same two or three finishes. There needs to be more cool blue/green/yellow/pink/whatever ones.

    Dare I ask what that stung you? Asking for a friend.

    I just added 10s as had a set of 9s on. The nut needs a little lube and it is fine, returns to pitch and has more travel than a Bigsby.

    Big Muff and a Slide gets close to the vehicle sound.

    It's a bit close to Raygun Relics logo for my taste.

    Is it just me who noticed the number of guitars in the background of one of the photos?
    How many do you have?!
