Withdrawn - Gibson Les Paul Goldtop P-90 for SG?

edited January 2020 in Guitars £
I have my heavily modded Les Paul and although I love it I miss having an SG. I spent loads (I imported the Arcane pick ups from US) so quite hard to put value on with all the mods, but if anyone has an SG ideally after a 61 or 62 reissue that they would like to trade (- or + cash) I'd be really interested.

Here is some info on the guitar 

This was originally a 2013 50's Tribute.

Mods include:

New Tulip Gibson Deluxe machine heads
Arcane Phil X P-90's (awesome)
Gibson Custom shop pick guard
Vintage Spec Wiring
Gear 4 Music Croc Case
Graph Tech TUSQ top nut
Faber Locking Bridge (titanium & Brass saddles) & Tail 
New knobs
Gold finish refinished giving a more traditional smooth gloss look, hopefully this can be seen on the photos.

A small dink on the body and a little wear in the cut away which can be seen in the pics.

    Trades are always a bit tricky because it depends on someone with exactly the thing you want, wanting exactly the thing that you no longer want!

    Even trickier when you put extra value into the thing you no longer want with the upgrades.

    Can you swap the original pickups back, and then look to sell the guitar as original spec and the upgrades separately?  Puts cash in your pocket to negotiate with whoever is selling the SG you want.  

    (And sellers always want cash, they never don't want that!).

    HTH
    :)
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    I agree with all you say, I modded this as a "forever" guitar and tbh not too worried if I end up keeping it as it sounds great and has a nice mojo, I'm really keen for an SG and if I'm honest in a few months will probably be able to buy one, but the gas has got me and I'm a wee bit impatient and if there is anywhere a trade like this could happen it's on this forum :) Plus if I buy one I then have to explain to someone near and dear why I need another guitar :D
