Seeing as I like SGs & I also like Big Sugar and Gordie Johnson's guitar playing, I decided to jump on this one which @barnesable posted up FS last week. I'm not sorry, this guitar is a beauty! I've got a few other SG's and I have to say that I am a big fan of single coil pickups in them. This one has P94's which are supposed to be a humbucker sized P90.


They supposedly made only 50 of these (in 2003 or so). Not sure how often they come up, but this is the first one I've seen...

It's got a 70's style headstock which is kind of neat, I wonder if they had other guitars in the line up with this headstock shape at the time they made these?

The case has a 'Hugo Boss' plate on it. Gordie Johnson had a clothing endorsement from Hugo Boss at the time (and maybe still does?, not sure though)... Also, it came with a Hugo Boss strap which has been used a little it seems, but I will set it aside and get a big fat strap for this one (as I do with each of my SG's).'
I had a chance to meet him 2 years ago when Big Sugar played an unplugged show locally. I've seen them play 3 times now, once in college early in their career (in around 1995 or so), then in the early 2000's at Canadian Tire Centre here in Ottawa (they were so loud my ears are still ringing), and then at the unplugged show two years ago. They put on an amazing show, highly recommended if you have a chance to check them out.
