geoff_hartwell Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 That is a sweet ride! Did you swap the direction on the g and d string bridge saddles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGJ Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Even though I don't care for the neck profiles of the SGs I've played, I have a hankering for one. I just don't need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one has got a fairly fat neck ... perfect really. Its a 96, I read that 94 to 96 were the best years unless you want to go bootiki and spend $$$. Then the 65's are supposed to be really good. But who knows Badger Dave had a newer one with a really fat neck ... But then on the other hand the new one I played recently at the local music shop was pathetically thin 9 hours ago, geoff_hartwell said: That is a sweet ride!

The damn thing was really expensive so I thought I should actually use it on something I thought it was weird too but I just slapped it on there and the intonation is perfect. So I guess it's ok?

FGJ Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Yeah, they've all been too fat to my taste. I wouldn't mind it for playing simpler chords and stuff, but I find it difficult to really wrap my hand around the neck with my little girly hands. I just dig how the thin body feels, however. It's so much more comfortable to me than a Les Paul, and it sounds great. I would really prefer to find one with a thinner neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 1991 and it was sweet. But the stock pickups were kinda dull sounding and a bit hot. The binding also cracked on it all over the sides of the neck. I kinda miss it though.

I like yours now, but I dig the look of any SG with pickup covers VS none. I make an exception for a black one with dbl cream humbuckers with pickup rings on the larger batwing pickguard. 6 hours ago, FGJ said: Yeah, they've all been too fat to my taste.

A good rule of thumb for non-custom shop SGs is: larger, batwing pickguard = fat neck aka SG rounded profile, and the smaller pickguard = 60s slim taper.
