Cool! Hmmm, it's funny that I have a Custom Shop '64 SG Reissue like yours and now I see that we both have a Custom Shop '57 Black Beauty too! I love mine...it's my #1. LP Customs, at least mine, seems to have a brighter more stinging sound than most LP Standards while still having plenty of chunkiness. I think it's due to the ebony fretboard. What year is yours?
Nice! :) This one is pretty recent, it's a '19 and sounds spectacular. I've had a fair amount of LP Customs from various periods, '70s, '90s. '00s and recent ones. There is individuality in every single one. All of them have the 'LP Custom sound' but that sound have a pretty wide spectrum. Ebony have a different feel and character compared to RW. Brazilian RW is also different compared to East-Indian and Madagascar, I can hear the difference acoustically between all three types.
@@Guitar_Magic Mine is a 2001 that I bought new on a totally impulse buy. I saw it hanging at a local Guitar Center while doing one of my occasional visits. I saw it, played it and walked out with it 20 minutes later. I still can't believe what I paid for it back then compared to what they're going for now!
@@markn4526 Early 2000s Customs I've played have always been spectacular. In fact one of my favorites has been a white 2001 Custom that aged nicely into a yellowish shade. Selling it was a BIG mistake!
@@Guitar_Magic Mine has aged nicely too with yellowed binding and a nice patina from actual player's wear. I took it to music store a couple of years ago to check out an amp they had for sale. I had the sales guy and 2 customers fooled into thinking it was an authentic '57. Yup, you should probably have hung on to it!
Superb!
🤘
