    Default Possible Sale Of Gibson SG-3 Fireburst.

    I’m thinking about selling my Gibson Sg-3 Fireburst. The guitar is limited to 400 worldwide and was Gibson’s ‘guitar of the week’ 21 in 2007. Basically, it’s an Sg with Single coil pickups, and it sounds awesome (The body is also routed for 3 humbuckers so changing pickup type would only require a new scratchplate). It’s a lovely playing guitar and the finish is beautiful. The shop I brought it from actually had 3 and I picked the best one.
    Here’s more detail:

    The SG-3 guitar pushes the power sustain and tonal range of Gibson's legendary SG into new sonic dimensions.
    The Gibson SG3 Fireburst Electric Guitar goes where no SG has gone before. With three single-coil pickups and a jaw-droppingly beautiful Fireburst finish the SG-3 is equipped with a 6-way chicken-head pickup switch. Rotary selector offers six pickup settings: bridge neck middle middle/bridge middle/neck and neck/bridge. Combining unrivaled playability with an extraordinary spectrum of sweet yet scorching humbucker tones the SG-3 is the perfect guitar for rock metal and blues guitarists.
    Gibson SG-3 Fireburst Electric Guitar Features:
    • BODY
    • Body Species: Mahogany

    NECK
    • Species: Mahogany
    • Profile: SG
    • Neck Joint Location: 19

    FINGERBOARD
    • Species: Rosewood
    • Scale Length: 24-3/4"
    • Number of Frets: 22
    • Nut Width: 1.695"
    • Inlays: Dot
    • Fingerboard Binding: Antique

    HARDWARE
    • Plating Finish: Chrome
    • Tailpiece: Stopbar
    • Bridge: Tune-o-matic
    • Knobs: Black Top Hat with chrome inserts
    • Tuners: Green key

    ELECTRONICS
    • 3 single-coil pickups
    • Controls: 1 volume 1 tone 6-way chicken head

    OTHER
    • Strings: Brite Wires .010-.046

    The guitar has had very light use and would be as new apart from some light buckle scratches on the back. Also includes a quality Ritter bag. I’m hoping to get £450 for it.

    Pm me if you’re interested.

    If I had the cash, I'd buy it and throw 2 humbuckers in it.

    Personally I think this is a superb base to work from and if you added set of Burstbuckers you'd end up with something a billion times better than an SG Std and for half the price.

    As much as I like the stock single coils and how they sound, I was intending to get a new scratchplate made and fit some bare knuckle mississippi queens, making my ultimate guitar. I still want to do this, but my current finanacial situation is not making it possible. :-(
    It's a tough one, as I really don't want to let it go, but times is hard, and spending another £200 on pickups and a scratchplate seems a long way off.
