| 607.1 | I won't trade mine.... | TYFYS::MOLLER | Vegetation: A way of life | Tue Apr 26 1988 14:38 | 11 |
| I bought one in 1964. The neck is kind of spongy on them (real long,
with lots of available frets - clear to thet 21's fret - made out
of Mahogany). If you are used to Strat's, the neck isn't as stiff,
and you can easily pull back the neck & toss the whole thing out
of tune when you grab a chord. When you let go, it's back in tune
again. Weird stuff. I own a 1964 & a White 1960 SG-Les Paul.
Neither are that popular these days, but the 1964 is my favorite
guitar. Good luck, You can get them for $300 - $600 here in
the Denver / Colorado Springs area. I suspect that comparable with
the rest of the U.S.

| 607.2 | $500 would be a steal | PLDVAX::JACQUES | | Thu Apr 28 1988 09:06 | 7 |
| Re. original SG-Les Paul. We are talking about a classic here.
I would be very surprised to see one of these in good shape
selling for $500. I would expect to pay almost 500 for an
average run-o-the-mill SG, never mind an original 1960 LP-SG.

| 607.4 | Its only worth as much as people pay | ALL41::BOUCHARD | OA$SURF | Wed May 04 1988 18:02 | 9 |
| .2 Where do you do your shopping?
I picked an SG-Custom up about a year ago. Included the original
case. Price = $125. Now mind you, I recognize this is the exception
rather than the rule however, anything over $500 is (in my opinion)
a rip-off unless we are talking in mint condition.

| 607.5 | do they have any more? | CNTROL::GEORGE | | Wed May 04 1988 18:08 | 9 |
| re -.1
$500 seems about normal retail, maybe even low, for a good mid-60's
SG-Custom in stores around Mass. $300 is rock bottom (aking price)
even if they're standards in poor shape.
$125??? Where? Are they open tonight? :-)

| 607.6 | '63 SG in Canada eh | POLAR::BACKS | | Fri Apr 18 1997 11:21 | 25 |
| I own a '63 Gibson SG. It is all oringinal with the first type of
whammy bar on it. It has P90 pickups in it and plays great. The only
problem with it is that it goes out of tune when you use the whammy too
hard but this is to be expected.
I had it appraised here in Ottawa and was told it was worth
approximately $1500. Considering I bought it off a guy who was
desperate for money for $500 with the case I guess I lucked out.
By the way,I wanted to replaced the pickups and asked some of the
boys here along these note files and I was told that the P100's
would fit with no additional work or routing out at all. So I bought
them and found out that they are too thick to fit in. I would have had
to route out the inside to make them fit. Needless to say I returned
the pickup's and have the original one's back in again. They sound
good but I still have that tiny hum that drives me crazy. Especially
when I'm on stage.
Hard to believe the difference in price between the States and Canada.
Makes you wonder just how lucky you boys really are.
It's no wonder you guys have so many toys. If I bought have of what
you guys own I could buy a house with the same amount of money.
Needless to say I rent.
Ha Ha.

Well, not *all* of us have the illness that bad. We all acquire guitar
toys at different rates. I guess you could say the syndrome has
different stages.

| I'm in remission...
|
| 607.9 | No, no.... don't cure me. I like being sick. | BSS::MANTHEI | Not quitting my day job | Tue Apr 22 1997 12:28 | 13 |
| Oh yeah.... I'll buy that! :-)
It's just in it's next incubation period before it attacks with even
greater force.
...not that I want to bring bad news - but I haven't found anyone who's
ever been actually cured.
Remember, the first step is to admit you have a problem. Maybe you're
spelling remission d-e-n-i-a-l ?

| It's quite possible, early signs of remission have been know
to look jus tlike denile,, it's easy enough to check though,
go to any guitar center with a credit card in your wallet,
if you stay for more than an hour, and don't buy something,
it's remission,,, and I've already passed this test!
(But I'm alos looking at another epiphone so go figure..)
