BEst SGJ ever??????

[eSGEe]

Possibly -- but what I really want to know is -------------

DOES THIS BIGZBY MAKE MY SG'S BUTT LOOK FAT??????


TBTF -- the SGJ has been heavily modded from an original state


Most EVERYTHING was changed--- "under the Hood" by Hackaster (its been swimming pool routed ) and had 3 P90's at one point (and a Bigsby) -custom Hackmaster GLOSS refin --its smooth as a babies arse now
then it came here (sans Bigsby and 1 Pup) I tweaked a couple things (minor) and then felt (thanks to Chasfreed) I needed a Bigsby again......and well so----during TROPICAL STORM NESTOR I decided to udnertake the VERY easy instal -- Hell took me longer to STRING IT UP! and well there ya go

Id say its one of the TOP SGJ's around for sure

@Trident !!! --- stop TOUCHING YOURSELF! thiS is a FAMILY FORUM!!!!!!!

SGJs and LPJs are some of the best bargains around. I often see them for less than $600 CDN on the local Craig's List.

Oh, that would look very good on blackie.

 

[eSGEe]

PLUS -- you will NEVER have NECK DIVE with one on there LOL

took longer to restring than it did to install the Bigsby
-- it had a couple "mods" @ChasFred had done -- that helped that procedure --
but -- very smooth

 

[eSGEe]

There are some "Hacks" to the restringing (like ROLLING the ball end before installing)
