I really want an SG that looks like this

[hannaugh]

Would an SG with a top and finish like this not be freakin badass?  It looks like smoke!  An SG with that would be a smoky, swaggering, sexy rock beast. 

It looks great on the LP too.  I almost went with that type of thing on my LP.  But I think it would look even better with horns.  :evil4:

 

[DocNrock]

Not bad.  But it would need a Floyd!  :icon_thumright:

 

[hannaugh]

Pffft.  That goes without saying.  If I ever build it, it will be my "insane shredding" guitar.  So yes, a Floyd would be neccessary.

Would be freaking awesome...

Sweet!

 

[rounce55]

It is "assumed"

 

[DocNrock]

Definitely a cool finish.  :glasses9:

But SGs can't be bound...

True, but it would look more evil sans binding on an SG.  I like it. :evil4:

 

[T.L.]

The LP looks much better...

 

[hannaugh]

No binding.  Just smokey SG hotness.

You people are weird. No wonder I like it so much here

why floyd? why not a kahler? kahlers ar far superior to floyds, in every aspect, in my opinion.

Why is it that hardly anyone uses them?

they cost a lot. really, a lot. almost double the price of a floyd. and its not 'easy' to retrofit a guitar with a kahler, whilst putting a floyd in a guitar is easier. most guitars which get a floyd already have a stratstyle trem...and kahlers haven't been around for 10 years, they're just 'coming back'. and because many people dont know about kahler, or dont know how to work them, and because there's no kaher licenced trem, like floyd rose has (until recently, kahler now has the xtrem, which is an OEM produkt I believe), people aren't used to those things, but now you see them more and more. hell, gibson released only has ONE guitar with floyd last 2 years, compared with already 2 or 3 with kahlers.

the sg supreme translucent black is similar. though its top cannot match this.

And because they're fugly too :laughing7:

If I'm not wrong, Gregg and some others guys told it feels like shaking a dead hand :tard:

shaking a dead hand? its a smooth unit, but not whobbly or something. its actually, kind of tight.


this kind of stories, hearsay, are also a major reason why you don't see them a lot.

Well... nowhere near as ugly as a FR. That's the ugliest thing anyone can put on a guitar - apart from a vomit-coloured, sorry tortoise-coloured pickguard of course.

FR looks nice, Kahler looks old fashioned...
