Subject: RE: HEY Rich - black SG
It's been a while (6 months) since you did the work on my neck/headstock
+ the 3 pickup customization
I can happily say everything is still perfect and the guitar looks
better than new
Absolutely no cracking, paint chipping or any indication that it
was ever broken
Re: the pickups / pickguard + playability
The setup is fantastic and it plays great
I've gotten plenty of "Wow"s when folks have seen it
I prefer the 2 "holy Sh!t"s + one "jeeeezus" though
Again thanks for rescuing my favorite and giving me an even better
guitar
All the best
A
