Topic: NGD

As some of you will know from my previous thread, I was looking at an SG with a repaired headstock. After a lot of considerations, I opted to let it go.

Yesterday I took a little road trip and picked up an SG 60's tribute. He was asking $500 for it but he came down to $440 because it didn't have a hard case; basically split the difference with me for the new case I'll be getting shortly.

Having only ever played acoustic all my life, this is quite a change. Kinda have to learn to play all over. But I'm looking forward to not having to stop at the 15th fret as I continue to learn the scales.

If you look real close you can see my fingers and the camera in the neck pick-up.

Re: NGD

The Matte look is great.     With an electric you will need the dreaded power chords! LOLOL at least its a quicker way qround on  one.  also there are many great distortion pedals out there! or one that can emulate many,,  the toys are endless LOLOL

Congrats!

Happy NGD UJB -she's a beauty! I'm going through the same "learning to play an electric" struggle that you are. It certainly is a different beast!

Yeah, she wandered in here 5-6 years ago. We named her Happy. Whenever you open the back door she comes running. She won't come in the house but she'll take all the attention you're willing to give her. She prefers to live in the little barn with the horses.

It may look like a lot but there's only 3.5 acres here. We have 2 neighbors within 100 yards of us.

UncleJoe,  Good choice. Congrats !!! Now you don't have to second guess the neck repair. Looks great, always loved the Gibson's. I had a 64 SG at one time. Enjoy the journey.

That's what I asked myself about a month ago.

I was originally thinking I would get one next year after I had made more progress on the scales and then thought; Why?


BTW, Love your sig line beamer. smile Especially this line.
