I traded my SG Special in for it with a friend.

We're not friends anymore.

Well, I have two awesome Les Pauls now, so *facepalm*..

IIRC, that mystery guitar is a Teisco.

Thanks Jeph! I couldn't figure it out to save my life. ('Milio, I wanted to put the neck from the Squier on it, but the mounting holes don't line up.)

godinpants, Epis are usually hit-or-miss. There's some really nice ones, and some really sub-par ones. Try before you buy, dude.

(Though i would most probably avoid a gold one)

Why? That thing is AWESOME looking.

Also yeah I've had that same experience. Played an Epi Les Paul that was meh. Played an Epi SG (back before I even liked SGs) and it could easily have been one of the nicest guitars ever made.

It was nothing compared to my Gibson SG, but seriously? That was a damn fine guitar and was better than anything I'd ever owned at that point in time.

Is it three to four bolt? That's doable, just fill the existing screw holes with dowels lightly covered in plastic wood filler, wait 24 hours, and go for it.

I've even seen four to three work, if you don't mind the tapestry-like mess in the back of the neck (which I think just looks cool).

I concur. Last one I had, I had to send back and I found out afterwards the entire line had the same flaw. They oem shit all over the globe. QC is very hit/miss. I would likely never buy one online. I think all the Epi LP's I've played were crap. But I've seen several Dots that were keepers.

Is it three to four bolt?

They're both four bolt, but the holes aren't in the same spots, and I don't want to drill more holes into the Squier's neck (especially when I'm going to get the Bullet back on its feet). I know Stew-Mac sells Strat necks that aren't drilled, maybe I'll get one of those for the Teisco.

I disagree, vintage or not, a guitar's only purpose is to make awesome sounds, and Sonic Youth did that in spades. Now, people who have vintage instruments and don't play them? That's something that infuriates me.

You can't make awesome sounds if the guitar is completely impossible to play due to the fact that you've destroyed it like a damn filthy ape. The fact that it's a vintage instrument that can never be replaced is just OFFENSIVE.

And if anybody wants to play the "but it doesn't personally affect you" card, have at it. It DOES affect me, because vintage Jazzmasters or Jags are damn expensive and I really don't feel like buying a reissue.

Perhaps this "rock and roll addiction" is your future?  You are quite a talented individual, in my opinion.

I would not be happy with my parents if they took my guitars and shit away, to say the very least.  I would probably disown them both, move away, and keep communication to a very minimum, after getting my stuff back.  At least, that's what I'd want to do.

The reissues are just as good instruments. Jags are still cheap, you can still pick a pre-CBS refin up for under 2k.

I almost cried when I saw one of Pete Townshend's busted Les Pauls in Hard Rock when I was in Orlando.

How low can you tune a SG and have it still pick up well? I know a band with guitarists that use SGs has played a B-tuned song, but I don't know if they use SGs for those. I seriously doubt I would downtune that low except for covers though.

See, they didn't buy a ton of "vintage jags", they bought old, unused, unwanted guitars that had been lying in basements or garages for ages and they used them to rock the fuck out. A guitar is just a tool, sure, some are pretty tools, but no more.

While rewiring a couple instruments, my mind drifted to someone wanting to shell out a million bucks for some "Kurt Cobain Jag Switchplate".

Being both busy *and* lazy, I am neglecting rereading 30 pages of this thread, so, if that dude still wants that, lemme just say, don't they have machine shops where you live?  You can probably get that thing fabbed for five, maybe ten bucks.  It's just a couple of holes in a hexagon.

Also, since I'm scalping a Duncan out of a free Strat I got a while back, I want to leave in 1 normal and 1 RWRP, right?  tia

I am buying this soon.  I'm trading in my Fender FM 212 DSP (solid state) for this one.  I am so freaking stoked.  I've played the Deluxe at the store I'm doing the transaction in, and it sounds so good.  The clean tones are nice and warm, and the distortion on the more drive channel sounds warm, thick and creamy.  Yumm...

That was Billy Corgan's rationale: he's lefty, but plays "righty" so that his dominant hand is doing the complicated stuff while his right hand strums and picks.

I am buying this soon.  I'm trading in my Fender FM 212 DSP (solid state) for this one.  I am so freaking stoked.  I've played the Deluxe at the store I'm doing the transaction in, and it sounds so good.  The clean tones are nice and warm, and the distortion on the more drive channel sounds warm, thick and creamy.  Yumm...

Very good choice sir.

I do love my Traynor soild state though.

I don't see your point.
At the time, the guitars may not have been vintage, but now they would be. If they hadn't been destroyed, they would be valuable vintage high-quality guitars. Where do you not see my point?

I'm also a lefty who plays right-handed.

I believe the reason the strumming/picking hand is considered dominant is because originally, with classical string instruments, the bowing (the difficult part) was done using that hand. Fretting isn't as complicated on a violin or cello as on a guitar.
