I got one for my gf's kid and I was very disappointed there was no truss rod under the truss rod cover. I had to shim the neck to get the action lower.

I'm just curious, you inferred that you didn't drill the horn for the strap button. Did this particular model have the button there in the first place? I've never seen that before.

Pickguard planet (Chandler guitars) is the best place to order custom pickguards from. Thousands of templates and materials and they will modify any of them upon request. I ordered mine without screw holes on my 71 since I wasn't taking a chance on the holes lining up. I also had to have a...

I posted a pic of this beast a couple months ago. I love it. Especially the headstock and trc.

Ok so they're technically not SGs. My all original 68 melody maker bass and my 71 EB-0 bass completely restomodded.

I'm curious about the headstock. I'm assuming a gibson veneer was applied during the repaint, and it was a crappy job if this is a newer guitar. And what's up with those W.German tuners? Assuming it was originally a bolt on, it's also interesting that the neck pocket holes were filled then a...

Did I mention lately that I briefly worked for GC many years ago? I was working for a small chain of local retailers when GC opened up nearby. I thought I was going where the money was. How wrong I was. A complete clusterfu(k of an operation. Their commissions are so terrible you're likely to...

What makes you so sure it's a copy?
