I have two things to say:
1: 1972 Gibson SG Special, Bigsby tremolo and P90 pick-ups
2: I GOT IT!!!!!!!

Now that is one sweet looking piece of artwork.
I am almost afraid to ask what its worth.
I know Steve would have a better idea but it don't look cheap.
Congrats and hopefully you don't scratch it up by accident or smash it on the floor after a concert..LOL>...

Don't worry Carrera, I wont smash it.

I plugged it in today and cranked up the VOX AC-30 (by the way, the VOX and Gibson guitar looks SO amazing together, it almost brings tears to my eyes, haha!) and OMG.....vintage P90-sound!

About the price......the older SGs dont have the same value as for example Les Paul's......I guess it is because LP is "better" thinking about the construction,,,,,,,some SGs tend to be a bit fragile at the bottom and top of the neck but not this one....the neck is thinner than my other SG but the whole point was to get a SG that sounded and felt diffrent and this one does!

So.....the money......with todays US-dollar value (I wish I had the money to go to USA cause the USD is very very cheap) I payed $1400 US.......if it had been 3 years ago it I would only get $1000-1100 US for the same amount of Swedish money (10 000 Swedish crownes)......Bush really fucked that country up.....

anyway.....the guitar is great! I love it.
I hopa all is well with u guys! Rock on!

hm, are those single coil pickups Killa? if so you'll be able to get a nice Strat sound out of that Gibson, hehehe

hah! Single coil....pffttt.....hehe......
its P90 pick ups.....its something in between Single coil and Humbucker I think.....they sound amazing through tube amps. And no.....not like the Strat (thank god)! no its not the Strat sound I dislike, its the shape of it.....sry. But I know there's a lot of people who like em, Ive seen yours and it looks really nice Steve.

You dont have a Telecaster too Steve? If Im ever gonna buy a Fender it will be a Telecaster.......or a Jaguar, heheh

.....

rock on ppl
