...and i'm thinking of paying the rest off tomorrow. i already set it up with my preferred gauge of strings and spent most of the day play testing it (the perks of being a guitar tech). I really like how it looks and feels, never had a wraparound tailpiece before so that's kinda sweet. also, for an sg, it's surprisingly balanced and has no neck dive whatsoever which kinda seals the deal for me. i also get it for a lot cheaper than retail so the fact that it's an el cheapo gibson doesn't bug me. i would hold out for a white one or another neater color gibson is offering these in but gc only seems to be getting black and cherry and i'm not about to go through the trouble of a special order.
