Got Wood?

Well, as @sergiodeblanc mentioned. We worked out a nice trade, my ‘90 Studio for his beautiful Spruce HB. I’ve been a massive Mike Einziger fan for years and years. When I plugged this in, the first thing I did was drop D and play the Circles riff. Nailed it perfectly!

I’m so beyond elated with the trade, and as we know Sergio is just a top notch fellow!

Of course I can’t leave well enough alone, so I swapped out the Archtops for early 57/08’s. The Archtops were great sounding, but the 57/08’s took this guitar to a different level. After much sweating and heavy breathing I was able to get the swap successfully completed.

And now the whole family for a nice group photo.

Good call! 57/08s are great in those HBs.

That sure is a treasure! No offense to Serg, but I think you came out ahead!! Congrats on scoring a true classic!!!

I think we definitely both feel that way. I loved the Studio, but wasn’t bonded to it like my others. The Spruce came in and instantly I knew it was super special. I think Sergio feels similar with his point of view. We definitely appreciate the trade!

Aww yeah! Bangin’!

 

[Aahzz]

Sweet!!

Ehhh, in that case I have more guitars to trade, what do you got?

All I've got is a desire for more (which I can't afford ATM)! I'd probably trade my soul for a White Westie ;~)) When funds are again available, I will hit you up to see if you have any Santana's you are willing to part with (I will of course wait for a cold day in hell for that to happen)!!!

Dayum dude, way to be an owner!

 

[DISTORT6]

Can’t go wrong with the HB Spruce!
It does EVERYTHING well.

 

[bodia]

Hell yeah! That was a good trade all the way around. Love that you put 57/08s in there. I never really cared for the Archtop pickups.

 

[jkornel]

Great trade! Nice looking HB !

 

[tyfu20]

Why yes, yes I do. Great addition to the fam!

Do they come with truss rod covers?

Maybe?

This one actually came with one. He had to find it first, but it came with one.

 

[11top]

Maybe?

That’s always my favorite response from my questions to a seller.

What brand was it?

Yeah well, I take guitar flipping seriously.

Lol! That’s actually a fair question. I found a Gibson SG TRC in my mom’s (my) basement recently.

I’m trying to remember when the last time I owned a f@ckin SG was.
