Such a great looking guitar. I had no real interest in SGs until I got one recently in a trade and I love it. It doesn’t look as great as yours though. Like Steven, I’m just going to stare at the photos of your SG for a while.

Heheh...that is pretty much what happened to me, I was sitting on the sofa strumming it unplugged, moved my arm up a bit and thought "weird, that sounded like a light whammy effect"...did it again and got a kick out of it!Despot wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2019 10:44 pmYeah ... the neck bending thing freaked me out when I had a '64 Special a few years back - it had the same neck profile as yours and the same short type neck join (compared to later SGs). I would find that if I was sitting on the couch and adjusted my seating position even a little bit while playing the guitar would bend out of tune!
It is definitely the polar opposite of a Les Paul...that's like playing with a grand piano round my neck!

I have been staring it a lot myself as well the past few days!
Sometimes I will stare at a guitar, and think "how in the world was that a tree once??"

That’s an impressive purchase and even more impressive guitar.
Beautiful and elegant. Hope she is a keeper

That is a great purchase Congratulations to you. The 1963 SG/LP is with out a doubt the best year. The 3 pickup is way cool and I have wanted one of these for a while. That aged white and gold Custom is the best looking too.

It may seem that way, but Gibson consistently sells more SGs than any other model in their lineup. It’s also the only model that has never been discontinued.Paul-T wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2019 1:31 amSGs are perhaps the most under-rated Gibsons and that is definitely the most beautiful.

There was an article about it on the Gibson site some time last year, but I can’t find it now.

I would take the '63 SG out of all of those there Dr.Z.
