NGD-Finally bought an SG
Came to the conclusion I wanted a Gibson, not an Epi. I've posted several threads over the last month asking you guys for advice, which I appreciate. I bought a new 2017 Faded T in brown. I wanted the 2017 (over the 2016) for the slim-taper neck. As you know, the Faded T is nothing fancy, no MOP inlays or bound fretboard. Finally found this new open box one on Reverb, and it came with the brown faux-leather case, and I got a good price on it. Paid about twice what I could have bought an Epi for, but it says "Gibson" on the headstock.
This is the only pic I have of it right now, and it was taken by the seller. I love the guitar!

Well there you go! You have enough amps to crank it up.

Fantastic! Those faded SGs really rock. It's not the pretty fancy stuff that brings the SG to life. Does it have a pair for 490 pickups? They sound great.

SG through a Super Reverb - classic recipe for blowin' da blooz...

Congrats. I used to have an '08 Special Faded, and stupidly sold it a couple years ago. I've regretted selling it ever since..
Here it "was"... |

Could anyone provide a link to where I could buy a set of pickup covers for my new baby? I've looked around and all I find aren't rated very high. Would like to find a set of them from one place.
Thanks.

(That reminds me - I forgot to take them off before I sold the guitar...) I also put silver/blk reflectors on the guitar - and yep - left them on there as well... |

Beach: that sure was a nice looking T. I can see why you wish you still had it. Great grain and all.

I actually traded it in on the deal with the new SG Standard - and while I love the Standard, I should have kept both... |

Thanks, Dru.
So, I guess the 1 15/16 fits the neck, and the 2 5/64 fits the bridge? (Stew Mac). (Duh, I just don't have anything that measures down to 64th's).

Hey Jerry - I think you want the 1 15/16 for both the neck and bridge. The larger size, I believe, is for F-spaced humbuckers (which fit Strats and such). Can someone confirm this?

Well, in the meantime, I talked to Stew-Mac. Twice. The first time to a lady who didn't seem to know where the bathroom was. Second call yielded "Pete", who I could tell was very knowledgable, even getting into Gibson's move from Kalamazoo to Nashville. Anyway, he said I need one each, so that's what I ordered. The outside measurement is the same, he said, but the difference is in the hole spacing, to accommodate the wider string spacing at the bridge.
