Great job on the SG-3 Sonichris, I was going to purchase that but I'm glad you did. A black SG-3 needed to be in circulation!

Yeah! It’s an old refin though. Original burst is under the red and primer I think. Not sure whether to take it off or embrace the red.

^Maybe live with it a while and see? A very appropriate addition to your collection, I'll bet that you love it.

Ha - all it needed was a good clean and the nut reglued. Haven’t plugged it in yet but it strung up and intonated well, and it’s a breeze to play. The bridge is a work of art!

Dammit, missing two saddle height grub screws. Everything else works very nicely though.

Those are always either missing or can't be adjusted. :-/
