I always wanted an SG back in the day, more so than I ever did an LP...and the cherry color is THE color for the SG, no other colors should be allowed.
I didn't follow all your SG thread posts...but I thought you were at first talking about getting one with P90s...?
Anyway...I like it with HBs much more, and that's what I would have gotten.
The color wan't an issue dude. Like you, to me, heritage cherry is THE color for the SG, although the white ones are nice....along with the black ones....along with the blue ones....

My favorite color is blue, I was looking at blue LP's when I got the one I have now, just like I was looking around to find a blue SG. But, $$$ is an issue, sure I could've bought used, but, I would've had to plunk the whole amount down for it, which honestly, would take me several months to save up for, so, I did what I had to....
I almost got the P-90's, but backed out at the last minute, really because I wasn't positive I'd like 'em. The bridge p'up is
a 498T, which is a little hotter than my LP's, so in a way, this guitar is different...
Don't feel guilty about giving yourself a present. You've had a lot of shit to deal with for months now...and sometimes a little pick-me-up like that helps you turn the page and get things back on track.
Thanks Miro, thanks a lot bud. I have been through a lotta shit for months now, & it does feel good to have a new toy....even if I'll have to stretch the payments out for a year.....
I don't wanna start a pity-party here, but I sold a bunch of my gear last year, just to pay the bills & survive. Ceriatone Chupacabra, gone. Marshall DSL-1H, gone. Egnater Tweaker, gone. To add insult to injury, I only got a fraction out of that gear that I paid for it, which I knew that would happen if I ever decided to sell any of it.
I could go on, but you get my point. The past whole year has been a pure bastard for me, but it's been extremely hard since October when my health problems kicked my ass (and just to be totally honest, is still kickin' my ass)...Again, I don't mean to keep goin' & goin' about this shit,
I'd love to forget about it, but my health problems ain't just gonna go away. I'm gonna have to build myself back up to where I can live a semi-normal life. Right now, it's anything but normal. Sure, there are things I can still do, but man, sometimes just taking a shower is a task that wears me completely out. It's like someone has changed batteries inside my body, & the one I have now, is about drained...Now that I've finally got steady income that I don't have to worry about (or I hope), that's a big, big strain off me. But, like I've mentioned, it's only one part of a bigger picture that has gotten just ugly as hell....
Sorry for the long-ass post, & again I apologize to everyone here for keepin' on with my problems, but all this shit has been a life-altering/changing experience...
