She's a beauty, a looker and a player!
I've always loved the look and feel of a Gibson SG since I first saw one in a catalog and then at Don Wehr's Music City in San Francisco's North Beach store back when I was a wee teen in the early '70s but couldn't afford to buy one. Fast forward 50+ years later, I own three, a Gibson SG Standard in Vintage Cherry, a Gibson SG '61 Reissue in Vintage Cherry, and this latest addition in Sparkling Burgundy with P90s pickups. I love all my Gibson SGs. I particularly enjoy playing the SGs as they are light and highly maneuverable. The fretboard and neck feel so natural. And the tone. Yes, the tone! I recently gave my Batwing Standard to my son as a birthday gift so I replaced it with this Burgundy with the P90s as I've always wanted a P90 player. I love the sound of Humbuckers, but the P90s add a bit of spicy salsa to the sound. Even though they're single coil pickups, their sound is different than the Strats that I own. To me they have that certain sweet spot in tone that the single coil Strats are lacking. This particular Burgundy SG that I bought through eBay is in mint condition and is a beauty. Although sold as preowned, it looks brand new. So much so that I'd hesitate to play it. But all great guitar begs to be played. Hence I will play it with passion and will treat it with TLC all the while. So plug her in and crank her up! And enjoy.
