Congratulations and welcome back to the wonderful world of the SG guitars! I have been playing mine for 43 years and have no regrets. Your new ax is a beauty! We look forward to seeing you on this site
Congrats, it looks like a beautiful guitar! In 43 years of playing an SG, I have never seen one in honey burst so this is a nice looking surprise. I love the head stock also!

Wow you definitely know your Moby Grape history. And interesting you were born in Troy, Michigan. Its much bigger and built up then when you were born here. I actually went to high school in the next town over, Birmingham, so I had a lot of connections to the Troy area.
you must be a clairvoyant, I was going to mention Moby Grape in my thread but somehow forgot. I actually have a copy of their great first album Moby Grape, which I discovered in a used record store here in Metro Detroit in about 1978-79, when I was in high school. (The album was actually still...
