Re: SG Lust
I love most SGs! That white one is nice.
I don't like the current SG standard much. I thought I did, but after tyre kicking one at the K-Rd RS lately (sorry Matt
), I thought is was lightweight, felt cheap, didn't play well and I don't like the lack of pup surrounds. it must take some time/aging and setup to get that real SG mojo, or a few extra K on the price tag.
The nicest guitar I ever played was a SG deluxe. My mate is still lamenting it's theft several years later.

Re: SG Lust
I knew I shouldn't have looked at this thread.
I had just got over my SG lust.
Anybody want to buy my PDV or my Les Paul?

Re: SG Lust
I'm with you there...don't see many around in NZ. They had the T Top pickups which are nice and bright and the one piece body, bound finger board. V. nice indeed.Aquila Rosso wrote:The nicest guitar I ever played was a SG deluxe. My mate is still lamenting it's theft several years later.

Re: SG Lust
This one was brownish from memory, it had the headstock repaired at least twice and it had THE nicest action of any guitar I've ever played. Even with the headstock repair it would be worth a mint.*UNIQUE* wrote:I'm with you there...don't see many around in NZ.

I thought is was a '70s SG deluxe, but my sister insists it was a '60s one, her ex was the owner, Gavin Dowling. He has had some really nice guitars stolen over the years. He is still on the lookout for this one and I don't blame him.

Re: SG Lust
All Gibson SG referencing and catalog perving can be done here: http://everythingsg.com/index.php/refer ... alogs.html
and here: http://everythingsg.com/index.php/refer ... odels.html
I rememeber Gavin's SG being alot like this one but darker, except the bigsby had been taken off and I can't remember the pups. All I remember was how amazing it felt to play. It has been my benchmark for a good action ever since and the source of eternal SG gas.

Re: SG Lust
You are correct here...it will have been a 71 or 72 most likely...not many were sold and they only did them for 2 years...from memory anyways. I have a walnut 72 deluxe and it begs to be played hard and loud!Aquila Rosso wrote: This one was brownish from memory, it had the headstock repaired at least twice and it had THE nicest action of any guitar I've ever played.
