Heh, I was going to say that's a weird reason to dislike a guitar, but then I realised that I'm similar in that part of my dislike for Elevation is that it's played on an SG lol...I agree that SBS should go back up to Bb minor at the least if they're going to retain it. But I doubt they'll meet either condition, but just keep it as they have for the last couple of tours...

I don't 'dislike' that Tele... I just don't think that we've heard it at it's best - yet. Time will tell. Hell, he might not even use it next tour.

Fair point, and point taken regarding your stance towards said guitar

A few more Explorer piccies. I know I am getting like the dad that shows EVERYONE his snapshots of his kids... hope you don't mind too much.

How DO you tell if the Explorer you are looking at is Edge approved 1976 Limited Edition? For those searching their local used shops...

First, the serial number starts 00 (space) and then six digits.
Second, it says Limited Edition

Both markings can be found on the back of the headstock - like so:

But you DON'T like the SG? I love that thing! But I would also like to hear another song or two be played with it, to see it's versatility.

I wouldn't mind hearing more stuff with it either. I must say though, I'm not a fan of the primary SG (Cherry finish), it's too "average". But I'm always one to choose guitars by the tone and quality of the guitar, not the finish. And I must say, the primary SG has a beautiful tone to it.

I hate SGs, I think they look horrible. I dislike the pointy 'devil' look (as I call it), hence I dislike a lot of PRS and Ibanez guitars in addition to the SG - aesthetically, they really don't do it for me

. Technically, it sounds great and has a good tone, no doubt, but a big part of guitars is whether I like the look too.

the SG always reminds me of Batman, for some odd reason.
