This is my Gibson SG restoration project.

An interesting project. Please, post some pics of it when it's finished.

Btw, you're

P.S.: What's that bass on the right?

 

[Rob17]

The pink one is an "Axestar by Ibanez ".
From '86.
Veeeerrryyyy rare, but not worth a lot of money.

Here's me other SG, it's an '72 EB-3L, the longscale version.
It was a birthday present for myself, didn't expect it really, was a total surprise.

^ Nice - I have the Mahogany version of that one; Gibson engravings and all.

I think mine was a suprise to myself too

I have a blonde '77 RD Artist. See photo (family portrait with other basses owned by two of my friends who are also TB members) in this thread.

Number please?

I never realized that USA Gibson Les Pauls are equipped with Warwick bridge and tail piece. When did they start doing this?

 

[BoRadBass]

Here is my 71 SB400. 34" scale alder body, maple neck. Active EMG j-bass pickups with no preamp. Pots are VVT like a J- bass.
Old schaller bridge branded kramer and grover tuners.

This thing is a savage, with tone for days.

Are we not giving out numbers for the Gibson club anymore?

Just picked up this fixer-upper from a craigslist ad, for 700 bones! It had a custom made mirror pickguard which was in terrible condition, someone put a badass bridge on it and crudely filled in the post holes, and wired a couple of extra switches into the wiring harness. One to switch the circuit board in and out (pickups > vol. > jack), as for the other one I couldn't figure out exactly what it does. Otherwise it's solid, no breaks, just honest playwear and some of those tiny, horizontally rippling cracks in the finish.

I'm gonna do what I can to get her back into original condition (minus paint wear - i like the instrument to show its age). Shouldn't be too hard, but might be expensive. It's also practically fretless so I'm going to have to save up for a re-fret and a new nut sometime soon.

GRAHAM SG1, you photo is extremely nice but unfortunately that's not a bass

 

[vates]

mg.audio, please post some pictures of it when it's ready. It would be wonderful to see all steps of the process photoed.

I don't remember if I put up pictures of my EB-2DC before or not. Here it is. I have a different case with more room for the head now, so you purists with sharp eyes can relax. I got it in the early 1980s and probably won't ever let it go.

Full photo documentation. Ask and you shall receive. It might be a while for the process to start, with money being super tight and everything. I can barely justify myself with owning two RD Artists right now, but I don't care!
