okay it has never been set up cause the original owner won it at a golf tournament. how much do set ups usually cost?


My first thought after reading your original post was to suggest a setup change.

IMHO, paying for a setup really won't help. The tech may just set it up to the factory specs or to *his* personal perference. Take the time to learn how to set it up yourself and experiment. If you have been playing for a while you probably know what do and don't like. You're the only person who can fix that.

As I've progressed throughout the years I have changed my setup to accomodate my playing technique and my personal preferences.

That's a pretty fair price.

Once again it all depends on what you want in a sound or what you're willing to spend.If the$200 price difference doesn't matter go for the "heavier"pups if that's what you prefer,both are great single coil guitars the only thing I can tell you is to go into a store and try both through an amp like your own or close to it and let your ears and hands tell you.

okay im definatley getting the American deluxe on guitar center used for 799$ i tried one out today and i thought it sounded really ballsy with a bug muff so i liked it and the neck plays well and its everytiung i want. so i just gotta sell my SG will i will put up on ebay soon. is anyone interested in a Gibson sg faded brown finish? its in great condition i could send u pictures of it. the reason i am selling is obvious. i actually had my friend who went to guitar center with me play it and he loves it. i guess i am just super picky or something.
