I sold three instruments that I wasn’t using. And what did I do with the money? I bought another guitar! Since my beloved SG special now lives in The Boy’s room I need another SG. I’ve wanted a standard for a long time and since there were lots of pick from I jumped on this one I saw on The List of Craig. I scored it one for $1,000. I’m not sure how that compares to the rest of the country but the used market here is in the shitter so there are great deals to be had. I probably could have gotten him down lower but I didn’t want to be a dick about it.

I don't follow guitar prices but that seems like a killer deal. I don't get along with Gibson style guitars, SGs in particular, but if I did that's exactly what I'd want.
 
I finished cleaning, oiling, and restringing. I thought intonation was going to take some time until I realized that a previous owner had flipped the bridge and never actually fixed the intonation. I turned the bridge around and it’s almost perfect, but I’ll let the neck settle for a few days to be sure. I got the action pretty damned low and I’ll try going super low tomorrow. And I just realized that I was supposed to set this up with heavier strings for C#. I don’t have any .011s in the house anyway, I’ll take The Boy to Guitar Center and pick some up.

I think I need a cooler amp to go with it than my HT-20. If I can sell this stupid Schecter bass I’ll probably buy and Orange OR-15 and a matching 2x12.
