My Gibson SG is getting a makeover
I recently acquired a Gibson SG Special in bad shape. I took it to a luthier to see what could be done. It turned out that besides the finish, the guitar is fine. Rick Mullen, the luthier, and I decided to do a makeover. He striped off the old finish, sanded it down a hair and is refinishing it in dark green satin. I chose dark green because I love the color and thought it would look good with the ebony fretboard. Most SGs are either cherry, black, or white. This should turn out to be a very unique looking instrument.

Rick, besides being a luthier, is also a bass player and played with Commander Cody for many years. If you live in the Hudson Valley region and love guitars, a trip to his workshop is well worth the trip.
