Welcome aboard, Shawn! Can you tell me more about the Gibson SG? Is that a Kahler trem? Stock or aftermarket and what year? I'm a big fan of locking trems and used to have an early 1980's Norlin era SG with a factory Kahler.

Is that a black back??? Purrrty...Well, this is most of them...

Thanks for the welcome RTH. The Kahler and the EMG pups were installed by the previous original owner. It is one of the Elite USA models that were made (iirc) from 87-89 or 90 and were only available in pearl white and sunset pearl which was a pinkish red. They came stock with "Spotlight" humbuckers, gold hardware, a fine tuning stop tail piece, standard Tune o Matic bridge and a locking nut. The stock controls were 2 vol. 1 tone and a coil tap switch. It was my first Gibby and it played great but unfortunately, I had to sell it a couple years ago.

Hey Wombat, how do you like your Special P90 ? I've had one for three years now and just love it. Upgraded tuners and nut, then put a set of those in her.
57 Wraptail Pickup Set
Wound to 8.2K for the bridge and 7.3K (approximate) for the neck.
A2 magnets in the bridge position and A4s in the neck position.

Mine is still stock apart from the tuners (put in some schallers). I probably play this guitar more than the JBGT and it pretty much forced my Squier CVC tele into early retirement. It was a crazy impulse buy at the time (certainly given that I had to have it shipped across the Atlantic and payed more on transport than on the guitar itself) but I certainly don't regret it. The reason it gets played so much has probably something to do with it's no nonsense status. I keep my JBGT secure in a case (hey I have kids age 5 and 8), the Special I on the other hand is always floating around the house (it's light enough for my kids to handle it somewhat semi-securely) . It has some dings and scratches but that just adds personality. I also find it to be pleasant sounding unplugged and I often play it that way. And plugged in it easily goes from nice-n-clean to filth.
I'm not saying it's better than the JBGT and the tuners were definitely crapola, but man I like that guitar

I've been tempted by these for a while; I really want a '57 TV Yellow Jr but perhaps I'll settle on one of these at some point. Great looking guitars; probably would own one if I had actually laid my hands on one.
