BZF on 2005 customshop SG?
My guess is amber color in the clear coat gives the golden hue on the logo. -
Newbie needing some advice
There are a lot of "buckers" at Gibson! 😃 -
Newbie needing some advice
Dude, Just for a point of clarification, wouldn't your USA Standard 61 have been equipped with 60s Burstbucker pickups from the factory? I thought Custombuckers were exclusive to the Custom Shop... BTW, I've put Seymour Duncans in many guitars, and they never let me down! :dude: -
Has anyone ever created a viable alternative to the Walrus Tooth?
Sorry, Dude. I was going to mention the teaspoon when I saw the thread title. Bigsby has several different handles. Perhaps one of them would work… -
the holy trinity
I’m digging the figuring on the middle one! What’s the story on it? What Duncan pickups do you have loaded in there? :dude: -
Pelham blue SG custom
I am partially colorblind, but that looks to me like an Inverness Green SG Custom. A beautiful guitar, regardless of the color! -
Can you cool cats tell me about this SG?
Someone else would be correct. -
What year SG has your favorite carvings?
Not a Gibson, but the carvings on the Jaydee Old Boy are about as nice as it gets (IMHO): -
Why I’m returning my new ‘61 Reissue SG
There’s no guarantee of getting a keeper guitar, regardless of the year/era. The best practice is (if possible) “Try before you buy.” Otherwise, you’ll always be rolling the dice. -

Gibson Deluxe tuners
Hmm... The only options I'm seeing on that page are for buttons (single/double ring) and post height. They all require a 10mm hole for the threaded bushings. The Kluson Deluxe need an 8.8mm hole for push-in bushings. Sorry if I'm missing something, papagayo. -
Gibson Deluxe tuners
This would require reaming out the post holes on the headstock, as the Schaller tuners need 10mm. Not a huge deal, but I don't know if @left-on wants to do that to a brand new Custom Shop SG... -
SG Bridge Pickup?
@asdaven You might try using a different magnet in your existing pickup. Alnico 2,4 and an Unoriented Alnico 5 should all be warmer sounding than what you have. -

Gibson QC is... incredible !
You should've gotten the "Tony" version instead. They're much more consistent! 😁 Just kidding, Gary! That's a real bummer what happened in your case...
