Posted a few weeks ago about selling off some of my guitars, so I've sold my Melody Maker, Vintage V100gt, plus a load of unused guitar pedals, and my Blacktop telecaster is currently on the eBayz... That leaves me with my highway 1 Tele (my no 1 guitar), my Epiphone Riviera (sort of my first guitar, good guitar. Mega sentimental value but I don't really play it any more), and my Eko Ranger Vi (everyone needs an acoustic).

So I bought this:


I figure between this my Tele and my acoustic I've got all the guitars I need... I also have a bass but that's not a guitar... Right!?

Those SG3s are a great value. I assume you like huge, chunky necks?

My melody maker had a neck like a baseball bat. Advert for this said slim neck...

NEEDS SCRATCHPLATE.

Other than that, brilliant, I love SGs.

I agree just need to decide full or half plate...

Might need to change that...

I like it! Would also like it more with a full size scratchplate

Anyone after something similar (but with thinner neck and weirdo tuners) Thomann is selling these SG Future Tributes for less than £400(!)

My SG Jr arrived yesterday, and I almost had a Benecol "is this really how you pack a guitar?" rant at the seller, but held my tongue as through sheer luck it's in perfect shape. Update when I've played it for another day or two.

BONUSFACT: my first SG (a MIJ Tokai) was brown. I think they look good in brown.

sgs are one of the only guitars that can pull off gold hardware

That was short lived, place I ordered it from just called to tell me they don't have that in stock any more, they sold the last one earlier in the week... Bastard!

I hate it when places don't update their ordering system in real time.

Well pissed off...

Nowhere else is carrying them? Not open to the idea of a Future Tribute?

I'd honestly love and SG but it's been so long since I dealt with the flat radius...

What on earth! Why do places do this? Does Thomann have the guitar in stock? The Euro is super weak right now.

^ THIS.

Would kill to have some guitar-lolly in my pocket right now.

Full size! Mine came with one and I wouldn't have it any other way. I can't seem to find any good pictures of it by itself, it is much more brown than it looks here...



Black 'guard + zebra 'bucker has become a thing for me it seems.

Need to wait on a refund now before I can do anything... "My order has been cancelled and has been passed on to the accounts dept for a refund" no mention of how long this will take.

14 DAYS TO PROCESSES A FUCKIN PAY PAL REFUND!!!

The Euro might have recovered by then...

File a claim, just say they've cancelled your order and not refunded you.

I was looking at the Future one, I couldn't live with those tuners tho. So bloody ugly.

Some demos online show versions with standard ones but I've not found em in any shops.
