I actually really like the look and sound of this guitar, I guess it appeals because of the sort of Tele/SG cross over which I attempted myself with my SGT

Done and dusted as far as can be at the moment, the headstock decal in gold was on a black background for a black headstock so I have ordered a new period correct black on clear decal
Wes had wanted gold, but hey ho, now it will be period correct rather than what he visioned.
A couple of odd reflections in the morning light but I think it has come up rather well
The pickups look like the same as I have on my 72 LP Recording. Great pickups, lots of tones, designed and used by Les for years. Also sound great through a Marshall with plenty of gain too. Great job Dave.
Good to see a genuine "guitar rescue"!
Making the world a better place; one guitar at a time...
The pickups are single coils I thought the Recording had stacked HBs but I am often wrong (just ask my wife)
My mate Geoff Barnes had a Recording back in the day and played through a Marshall Major goes without saying it sounded huge and did indeed have great tone and a lot of voices.
Apparently, they are low impedance single coils. Ideal for recording straight into a desk...so Les sez,
Although similar in appearance I remember the pups on the Recording as being much wider but not quite as wide as a P90
The ones on the SG200 are more Strat size
My memory is not as bad as my wife thinks it is
The SG200 had Melody Maker SC pickups and the Recording had "Low Impedance humbucking pickups that were stacked and angled."
Cool looking SG guitar, never seen one like that before, so it's a new one on me.
