oh belive me, the guitar we sacrificed was well beyond its playing days
that was pretty apparent when i saw that the neck was being held on with some scotch tape

Never smashed a guitar myself. I've always just tried to fix em.
Oh, and Blackhawk, I'm not sure about the SG, but I've seen pickgaurds for strats that you can buy that are fully loaded with pups, switches, wiring etc. Might be worth looking into. Just a thought.
Good luck on your project man.

Smashing POS guitars is fun. I don't care who you are.
That said, I would never smash someone else's instrument, no matter what condition it was in.

I had a nice strat style neck that I had left over after upgrading and I went to a Mom & Pop music store to see what they had to bolt the old neck to-couldn't waste a neck now could I?
They had a pile of old bodies in the back that had been stripped of parts-they said just go on back & see what you can find. Found a few strats & tele styles that were "maybe" possible...then I found a red one, picked it up from a under a stack. It was a Firebird copy, with pickups, bridge, Volume & tone pots with knobs----everything but a neck! It was dirty as hell, I went and asked what they wanted--$20 for it all. I didn't waste a second, I bought it, started cleaning it, and it turned out beautiful.
Its got a nice cutting sound, really nice for rhythm part, and a very nice sustain, especially for a bolt on.

sounds like this is getting more and more common, a friend just said he saw a decent Yamaha acoustic by the dumpster, fhkd up tuning pegs...my friend has 20 guitars already and left it.
We figured its the mass production syndrome, there'll probably be millions of guitars at dumpsters and garage sales as everyone owns one now it seems.
not everyone plays, but everyone seems to own a guitar...like a skateboard or a PS2 game and their cheap to buy so everyone can have one or two.
disposable guitars?

Only if there is anything wrong with them at all, than they hit the trash. Any functioning guitar, people think is worth far more than it actually is.
