Is there a production carved top SG stlye guitar out there? I bet it helps with neck dive.

 

[Planta Fantasma]

Someone has to be making one by now. The SG is probably my favorite guitar design out there.
I'm going to make myself a 7 string since I don't own one.

I'm caught between using a design I recently drew up, or coming up w/ a multi-scale SG.
If I design a multi-scale I'm going to need custom pickups & a bridge, so it starts getting more involved.

I think I'll just do the standard 7 string first.

(Ponder, ponder.... I need to buy a small milling machine so I can make my own bridges & machine heads, etc......)

Seger guitars does a carve top SG.

Goddamn gorgeous. What are those pickups? I mean, the front is beautiful, but the back of that thing is stunning!

The pickups are Bartolini ZBS-75. It was Bill's humbucking p-90. He also made some really neat ZBS-60's that were a single coil set for Strats.

That's way too good for that nasty copy floyd. Use a 1996 it's SO much better.

 

[Planta Fantasma]

Thanks for the compliment, Andy!
I agree 100%. That's the way it went together at the time & the owner has since swapped it out to an authentic German Floyd.
I purchased (2) of those cheapies over a decade ago & never since. (16 years ago to be exact. Time goes so fast....)

How weird would an HSS SG with a Floyd Rose and the strap button at the end of the horn (not in back or underneath) be?

 

[Planta Fantasma]

Not that weird, but stranger than some & less odd than others.

Here ya go. Something like this.

That actually looks pretty slick!

No worries about the neck joint with that one....
