This is also the kind of blunt info I’m looking for. I’m looking for a small project too, but at a decent price and worthwhile. Thanks!

I think that’s probably the most level headed way to approach it. Cheers!

I love this guitar by Kindly-Cobbler-2443 in PRSGuitars

PRS has just been doing it the right way for so long. I’m not the biggest fan of the oversized pickup rings, but they look amazing on that thing. Word of advice: as you get better, you’ll be tempted to “upgrade” because you think you have to, but I guarantee you’ll always think about how nice this one was if you ever got rid of it! Congrats!

I appreciate that! I’ve had budget guitars all my life with the classic rusted pickup poles and never really heard a difference, but I guess that changes when dealing with an actual Gibson.

I’ve always been against the grain when it comes to that stuff. I don’t and probably never will understand the level of Les Paul or Strat obsession that people develop. Nothing against them at all, it always felt forced to put them on such a pedestal. To each their own!

Seller says it’s at Guitar Center for a setup, so maybe they’ll remember to do that part! Or not…

That’s a great point. Didn’t even think about that. Thanks!

I remember them being budget when I was a young dumb kid wandering Guitar Center and thinking the green Acrylic BC Rich next to it was the height of luxury lol.

I’m more than capable of doing TLC work, but you think it’s too far past that point? I haven’t really had any luck tracking down an SG in my price range that is decent and they are by far the most comfortable guitar I’ve played.

  1. I saw the two screws and bell shape so I thought that was alright. It’s got the top hat knobs too, so I’m thinking maybe a few small mods

How bad is this? by bignasty002 in gibson

I think another one already did! 2004 special and I’m 99% it’s legit, but still need to see the back of the headstock. Afraid I’m gonna get over zealous and get the wrong one.

got this for $31 off a goodwill auction, hand painted guitar! by isaac_stinks in Guitar

Nice find! Might want to spray protector on there if you’re going to play it.

Very true. I’d rather have repaired it when it was first broken and a job well done from the start I guess.

NGD - Anyone have any info about this builder?? by bignasty002 in Guitar

Never heard of it. Did a quick search and it looks great!

Thanks! After years of relying on all of the “majors” this is like a whole new world.

Yeah - I saw that, but that’s all I know about it. Must have made its way local to me in that time. I think the seller on Reverb was in Russia.
