My first truly vintage guitar is inbound

[bbsomm]

I finally took the plunge and jumped with both feet into the vintage world.

I have a '67 SG special winging it's way to me as we speak. Cant wait to hear it.

NVGD!!!!
Congrats man!!

Can't wait to hear the in-hand review! Hope it screams, and plays like a dream.

I've got a 68 and it's my favourite among the solid body guitars in my arsenal, which includes a US 62'RI strat, a 73' Les Paul (a very nice one with Tim Shaw pickups!) and a 87' Kramer Baretta.
I've put ad nauseam a video of how I use the Vibrola (only attaching the B, G and low E strings, while the rest goes attached to the wraparound), but will suggest you to try it.

Have fun!

Great choice for your first vintage guitar.

My 62 is firmly my no.1 gigging guitar, after years going round the houses with other Gibsons and Fenders.

It was good enough for Pete Townshend during the Who's golden period (imho) in the late 60s and early 70s, so it should give you years of great playing.

I'm excited for you!

Nice! Looking forward to your report!

I love 60's Sg's

Was that you?
Great idea on the wraparound vibrato!
I'm using that on my 64 SG Jr.
Thanks for posting!

I am afraid so... Hope you are having fun with the setup and that it does not go out of tune? Make sure to add some lube on the nut

Got it. Love it, unfortunately circumstances dictate I have to move it along. It’s up in the emporium if anyone is interested

 

[p6x]

Congrats! I am truly happy for you. I guess I can feel the excitement....

I am still looking for mine...

Plus it looks like its sold.

Very sorry to hear that. Did the wife/gf complain about the expense? Mine can get hysterical at times.

Neck too small?

Nah, my wife is awesome about stuff like that, I just splurged on it, and now need to put the money into a larger downpayment on a house than I thought I was gonna need.

Neck too small?

No, the neck is perfect for me actually. but alas, it's listed in the emporium.

That's the very first "real" guitar I ever had (one exactly like it anyway).... Bought it for $125 out of the local paper classifieds in 76... Had that and a muff pedal.. used other peoples amps. didn't have my own yet LOL

I sold my ‘62 SG Special and bought it back about 24 or 25 years later. Maybe this one will find you again.
