[font=trebuchet ms]My avatar is based on a picture of a different SBG. I did some Photoshop work on it to represent the nickel-plated covers on the DiMarzio pickups I installed in my first SBG1000 (called Brand X).

As I said earlier, my 1000's aren't as fancy as the SG3000 in that picture. The neck is set-in, not through-body like the 3000, and the binding is cream with a double line instead of the abalone inlays. Plain black instead of the pearl sparkle. Still, I like the one I bought new in '84 so much that when I saw another one just like it on eBay a couple of years ago, I bought it. I ended up installing DiMarzio pickups in the second one too, but the stockers weren't bad at all. So I call the second one [/font][font=copperplate gothic bold]The Stalker[/font][font=trebuchet ms].

Now I have two of my most favourite guitar ever![/font] :D
