We do love an SG but our latest Gibson has failed to impress so far being called 'brittle', a bit 'meh', and 'tight-arse'... but today help is on hand with a new set of top notch Murray 50's wind P90's and some Bare Knuckle CTS Pots. Can we fix it?... grab drink and join us to find out guitar nerds!

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. Some things I do know and some things I don't know but think I know and sometimes I say things that are not entirely correct. Once I have said things it's too late to correct them so please check any 'so called facts' with an adult, google, wikipedia, or someone else that knows.
