Thanks a lot, Selectomatic ! if one day you want to make a review of your axe (can be short..pro/cons), it would be great.
Take care the skons is evrywhere !

Great site, nicely done! (^^Looks great too) Between Superaxe's and your sites, and all the content right here on OSG, the old Yammys are getting pretty well served. 8) 8)

Fantastic thread. For the Yammy database, my beloved 1967 SG-12.

Wow, that sucks. With any luck, there's some honest hold-up at the other end and your guitar will be on its way. Hope this works out OK.

Really sorry to hear this. I hope that either he comes through with the guitar or you get your money back.

I've just noticed that the bridge pickup on an SG-3s is closer to the bridge than it is on an SG-2. If there's any other human being alive who finds this intriguing, I figured this would be the place. That is all.

OK, you guys are making me feel better about my fixation. ;D
By the way, antisymmetric, without knowing how painstaking your photographic analysis was, I'm compelled to tell you that the SG-3 pickup is 5mm closer to the bridge than the SG-2 p'up.
