NGD: SG Custom Birthday-Birthyear surprise!

Post by Embenny » Sat Sep 10, 2022 10:21 am

So, yesterday was my birthday, and I spontaneously received a trade offer for a guitar that was kinda outside my wheelhouse, but was made the same year I was (1986). I took it as a sign to give it a shot. It made sense from a trade value perspective, so my worst case scenario is that I move it on to someone else at some point. It's been a long time since I got a guitar on my birthday, and it was fun to have the timing work out this way, even if I'm out of my comfort zone.

The clues so far:

-Made in '86
-Non-Offset
-Not something you'd expect me to buy, if you happen to know my taste in guitars.

I'd love a Jet, but this one has more pickups than that.

If we’re being honest, this one might be an ‘57 anyways :D

This one has fewer pickup positions, despite having the same number of pickups.

Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

This God damn thing.
Right year, right brand, wrong guitar.

This one is very different from that one.

They didn't make those in '86. But...they did make this:
