    WTB: MIJ SG Special Guitar...

    It seems like one of those Grecos has since been sold. That white Edwards one is calling my name...

    WTB: MIJ SG Special Guitar...

    Yeah, I had contacted them a few times to no avail. No big deal. Still looking around...

    WTB: MIJ SG Special Guitar...

    I haven't been able to get a hold of these guys... :-( This price is about $200 less than most other companies. Maybe a case of "If it's too good to be true..."?

    WTB: MIJ SG Special Guitar...

    http://www.guitarcojp.com/product-p-3389 I'm trying to figure out if this company takes order from the U.S., it's a REALLY good price!

    WTB: MIJ SG Special Guitar...

    I'm still KICKING THE CRAP out of myself for not taking you up on that one. As I remember, it even had Fralins in it, didn't it?

    WTB: MIJ SG Special Guitar...

    Even after buying a newer Gibson SG Junior Tribute and a Gibson SG Classic within the last 15 months or so, I'm still GAS-ing pretty hard for an SG Special with a smaller pickguard. I know that Tokai has the USG-P90 and Edwards now has a E-SG-90LT2/P that have the specs I'm looking for: SG...

    Found a Bacchus SG...

    http://www.j-guitar.com/product_id297609.html It seems like a good deal to me, but don't have any experience ordering from Japan! Am I missing something here? I've used Google Translate and it seems like there's just some sort of ding on the back of the headstock but don't see any other...

    *BUMP* for changed specs desired.

    WTB: MIJ SG...

    OK, I'm changing the specs on this a little bit. I had originally been looking for a white or Pelham Blue SG, but now I'm opening it up a little bit in hopes of just snagging a nice MIJ SG standard. I'm looking for a Cherry, White or Pelham Blue SG style guitar. Dual humbuckers, small...

    On Ebay now.....

    I've put a bid in on the Burny SG. Hopefully it'll work out!

    WTB: MIJ SG Special (Pelham Blue)...

    Ha ha! I like taht Tweedy video and have seen it before. Gah, I want that Tone King amp too! Just to update everyone, after weighing all of the pros and cons between: Gibson 50th Anniv. Townshend SG Bacchus SG Special Tokai SG Special Tokai SG Junior Gibson SG Junior 60's I ordered a Cherry...

    WTB: MIJ SG Special (Pelham Blue)...

    Yeah, I've thought about that very thing. It's still a possibility but I don't do that sort of work myself aside from basic soldering. (And to be honest, with a toddler around I don't have much time to even do that!) I like the idea of the gold sparkle SG!

    WTB: MIJ SG Special (Pelham Blue)...

    "Whats wrong with the bevelling? And is the neck bound? And Clive Brown would probably make you an incredible SG - he really likes Juniors especially." The beveling (to me at least) on the bass side of the guitar is never deep enough. The neck isn't bound, but that doesn't bother me as much...

    WTB: MIJ SG Special (Pelham Blue)...

    I've only listened to Wilco sparingly. I think I have Yankee Hotel Foxtrot on CD somewhere. To be honest, I can't completely remember where my Pelham Blue obsession came from. I just think it looks AWESOME on SG's and to a slightly lesser degree, Firebirds. Buying that Epi last year (Pelham...

    WTB: MIJ SG Special (Pelham Blue)...

    I'll try to take a pic of it sometime today. In the meantime here's a different photo I found online of it: I changed the tuners on mine to green keystone style (from another Epi) and changed the knobs to black speed knobs. I also had a set of Dimarzio Air Classic (vintage style, low output...

    WTB: MIJ SG Special (Pelham Blue)...

    I will consider it, Marcus. The only thing is that I'd almost hate to paint over that TV Yellow finish! I've got a TVY Edwards LP Special which I adore!

    WTB: MIJ SG Special (Pelham Blue)...

    $3640 is for the newer Gibson Custom Shop special (Wildwood Guitars, etc.). It has the specs I like but is way more than I'd want to put into a guitar. The Elliot Easton model (AFAIK) is a dual humbucker model with a maestro style trem. I currently have a Pelham Blue Epi SG with the Maestro...

    WTB: MIJ SG Special (Pelham Blue)...

    Hello, everyone. I'm looking for a Bacchus (or similar MIJ) SG Special style guitar in Pelham Blue finish. My leads on finding a Bacchus BSG SP have dried up but I'm still looking for one. Gibson is asking $3640 for their Custom Shop version! Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Here's a...

    Tokai LS-85 Wood...

    Thanks for all of the replies and suggestions. I guess I'll have to go another route. I REALLY like the neck on the guitar and hate to give up on it. I think in the coming months I'll try to have it re-painted to black, put some gold hardware on it and make a combination of LP Standard and...

    Tokai LS-85 Wood...

    Hello everyone, I've got a 2003 Tokai LS 85 (MVF) that I love but want to convert it into something similar to one of my favorite guitar hero's guitars. Mick Ronson's Les Paul with the sanded front. My main question is this: On these LS-85's is the top "flamed sycamore" just a veneer and then...
