Awesome...can't wait to see more. But if you ever get tired of it, give me a shout
'61 SGLP
62' minty fresh...
Was '62 the only year that didn't have the full step around the neck joint that wrapped around the sides to the back of the body? This '62 shows a smooth transition on the back; without the step, just on the sides.

Maligned? Please elaborate!eace2
My old '65 was in the 274XXX range, and I loved it! BEST neck shape ever!!
Does yours have 137 65 04 pot codes as well?
Funny, but I snagged a NOS 2011 SG Special '60's Tribute, in white, (buffed satin into high gloss, feels and look cool! The white is starting to "cream up" nicely already!!) and I'd be damned if the neck didn't feel almost the same..no joke, like a low D shape that feels not too thin, not too thick..although listed as '60's slim taper, it feels a lil beefier than that. Maybe Gibson took the measurements from an old Junior?
For a "Tribute" it feels right to me, having owned a couple..(a '64 and '65). I put a 5 ply guard, steel tailpiece studs, a Historic bell TRC, nice reflectors and pointers, buffed it out, installed Grovers, (which I love on P90 guitars for some reason, my '65 and '64 both had them as well..), and originally had intended it to just be a "beater", but it feels so great and sounds so killer that it gets the most play time out of all of my Gibsons at the moment.
And oddly enough, sounds like a P90 SG should, surprised that new Gibson P90s hold their own.
I think Gibson is able to keep the P90s closer to the original formula better than they can with humbuckers..
