Building My Oak Sg

[gibsonsg26]

first coat of color on the body today! The grain looks really good so far I put the bridge on earlier and it strung up good just need to do a setup to get rid of the buzz. Hopefully it will be done before i meet George Lynch in a couple weeks.

Edit: by the way i wnet with the green

Looks good. The neck looks to be quite far into the body for an SG - any problems reaching the higher frets?

thanks ya i ended up having to put it in so far because i was going to have a replica of my faded gibson sg's neck made out of maple then the guy who was gonna do it said he couldnt so i compromised and needed more width. i can get to about the 21st fret easy but the oak doesnt really sustain to well so i use it for a drop tuned rythm guitar right now simple solos sound alright but im in a glam band so not many of my solos are simple lol. My next project is going to be way more planned out and no compromises.
