The SG-35 is really nice...this has been on eBay for months...no idea why, they are great. An upmarket version of the SG30 and the SG50 with a mahogany body and block markers.

^ Nice! Love the silver 'swoosh' on the pickguard.

I'm supremely glad to see how much this thread has taken off. Spreadin' the Yammy love.
I actually have my eyes on this beast right now. The burst and wear on it just look too good:

That being said, I've been battling Strat GAS lately, so it might have to wait? Uh oh..

11 years ago I had an amazing all black SG-1500. It was the shit. I got it for 250 bucks in a pawn shop, and I was like "damn, this guitar is badass."
I sold it almost right away to help put together funds for my wife's engagement ring. But damn, it was an awesome guitar. I wish I still had it.

I posted this pic of his guitar on the John McGeoch RIP page on Facebook(run by his daughter).
And here it is in the masters hands(circa 1979)

In the (extensive) list of my countrymen that sported these back in the day McGeoch is top and it's a quality list.

I'm very excited to receive my '81 CherryBurst SG1000 soon. I've been wanting one for a long time, thanks to Mr. McGeoch.
I'm sure everyone's well aware of it, but for future reference I thought I'd post a link to this excellent resource:

I sent the Geek a couple of pics and measurements of my 800s as it would appear info on them is quite scarce.

Both great websites. I'm glad other people out there are spreading the word a little. I'm sure they'll all be prohibitively expensive within a year.
I've actually been looking at SGB200s lately, as I need a lightish backup guitar for my SL650. That might end up being my first SG just out of practicality. I break a lot of strings, you see...
