Love SG's and that one looks the absolute business.

TINMAN82 · July 2019

Hell yeah. Admired that one on the Peach website for a while. Stunner.

andyp · July 2019

Absolutely love that! Awesome guitar.

Philly_Q · July 2019

That's a fantastic looking guitar, love the colour. Slim taper neck, though, I suppose?

timmypix · July 2019

Oh good lord. That colour is stunning! I love SGs in different colours, the recent Chicago Music Exchange run was along similar lines.
If only I found SGs comfortable to play. Fantastic looking guitar, enjoy it!

Stunning colour.

underdog · July 2019

Well that's one of the coolest looking guitars I've ever seen

Weight is just over 6 1/2 lbs, here's how it sounds:

do you like it better than your gold top with p90's???

Unfortunately the goldtop has gone, I bust a gut to get it in the first place and had it for a few months but just could not live with the pickups. The bridge pickup was really weak sounding and so out of balance with the neck pickup and I could not get with it at all. I debated a pickup swap but didn't want to modify it as it was a limited edition special run so it found a new home at a fair price. It's a shame as I loved the look of it, the feel, the weight and the neck and playability were the best of any Les Paul I've played.

oh shame, didn't know you got shot of it

Yes I guess it's slim taper, to be honest I don't really notice it much, it's very comfortable. No neck dive on this one either.

I'm genuinely surprised people like the colour, I wasn't sure when I was trying it out but it just sounded and felt so good.

the trick with Clapton Cream era licks is those major to minor step-through/arpegiated run-ups...

It was the colour which really caught my eye on the Peach website, too many SGs are cherry and all the others are black or white.

Although having said that I've got two green SGs.

I think TV Yellow looks great on an SG, even though it's not a "proper" SG colour.

mburekenge · July 2019

Yeah. I love pellham blue and goldtop SGs look awesome

Yes, I got the Crossroads turnaround down, things got a lot easier when I stopped reading tabs or watching Youtube, used my ears and just listened to the recording with a guitar in hand.

Howdy, Stranger!
