'22 SG Special in stunning faded Pelham Blue. ?
Got this one a few days ago. It's a keeper!
It weighs in at 6.6 Lbs. and fits in wonderfully, with its siblings. ?
I ordered a 50's style Aluminum Wraptail and knob pointers from Philadelphia Luthier. Excellent quality USA made parts.
Wasn't digging the Zinc Lightning Bolt. Uneven string heights at the bridge and it didn't yield good intonation.
My SG Junior came stock with the 50's type Aluminum, and I got that one intonated quite well.
So, I wanted one on Blue.
Intonated well, even string height at the bridge and a bit more added chime and jangle from the Aluminum.
Me, I've gotta have pointers on my Gibsons. ?
BTW, Blue went from 6 Lbs. 9.9 oz. to 6 Lbs. 8.5 oz from the bridge swap. 6 Lbs. 8.7 oz with the pointers added. lol ?
