Some of the 70s SG line definitely were superior to the poplar and maple bodied SG 1's and 2's that put out around 1972 !!Krishnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02851573083956321041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140642955858547880.post-89490383596627807822011-01-30T00:10:41.344-05:002011-01-30T00:10:41.344-05:00My grandfather bought me one of these (White) with...My grandfather bought me one of these (White) with matching Guya amp at Matsuya Department Store in Tokyo in 1967. Reverb on amp was so drippy! Nice Ventures tones. Pretty stiff action and typical Japanese skinny thin neck. Brought it back to the States and sold to a buddy for $50 when I bought my Gibson SG Special for <br />$170 at Manny's Music in NYC. Everyone thought I ripped him off as he really didn't know how to play guitar but I was off back to Japan for a coupla years. I sold the SG to a Rock production company and replaced it with a Yamaha Nippon Gakki SG2 which I still use and is a great player. (dropped in a DiMarzio but kept the original PU).
