I've always wanted an SG but didn't quite have an image of what i really wanted until i saw this guitar. It looks awesome. Too bad the bridge was installed the wrong way.
I dig it. it's pretty cool as an og piece -- too bad about the extra work on the bridge - if they messed up on the bridge placement make sure you check the fret placement --- the inlays are not bad -- kind of different --- a little busy but unique and they are already there --- to take it to the next level a really black fretboard with dots and SS and more gloss on the body. Because it's custom, instead of plugging and fussing with a match you could inlay a rectangle of some black wood and make it a feature -- or get fancy and put some kind of metal or other wood border around the rectangle.....
I've seen "Does it Doom" post a bridge with a much wider range. I had a guitar that i used a different Guage string on the G string to get intonation right
Looks great! 😍Definitely 70's classic vibe.
Next time use a reamer tool or stepbit to enlarge potentiometer holes.

Stayed tuned, it will be fixed soon! I really like the way it looks too
Wow😮 awesome job brother!
Looks pretty damn good
Heat those studs with a soldering iron then screw a very long bolt in all the way until it bottoms out pushing the old stud out.
If you need a tip to get the studs out. Heat them up with your soldering iron. Then pull them out. Will take some doing but should work

Easy way to remove inserts is to screw in a long bolt that hits the wood inside and then pushes the insert out as you screw it in more
I have seen that neck joint on 70's Japanese guitars, I think maybe Greco, Could be a 70's lawsuit job?
Use a reimer instead of drill. Slower more controllable than the drill.
I've also seen people use masking tape over the hole to stop blow outs.
Very Cool.

Hipshot tone-o-matic I think it was. Ill look into that, thanks
Damn nice.
Don't you think you could just plug the top bridge post and rotate it back and drill/plug just one?
That might do it. Im also looking at a hipshot tone-o-matic bridge with a wider intonation range that might work
I was looking at the bridge angle from the beginning and was thinking that something didn't look right.
Isn't it redwood top?
Could be! Im not 100% on what type of wood it is
@@boechlerguitarsandrepair maybe it's too late but, you could install wraparound bridge and drill only once
