The SG is well know as the guitar of Satan - hence the stylised horns. This is why you will never see a truly devout person playing one. Are you one of Satan's disciples Unique? You can only be saved by ridding yourself of any number of beasts like this. Pointy guitars = lifetime in the deepest depths of Mordor!! Hie thee to the auction site!

Congratulations Unique - you had the vision to dream this beauty up. Well done Ash for your superb craftsmanship.

Sadly Ash no longer does refinishes, or I would have brought him my 1980 SG for a similar job.

Solid Guitar, I think. Not 100% sure on that, but that's what I've heard.

That's not a permanent situation, mind you. Once I get some new stuff sorted out I'll resume refinishing.
