the thing is the sg had already been repaired for a crack in the neck and i guess it didn\'t hold up.  then 2nd time a neck cracks is usually when it\'s considered totalled.  especially for a setneck.

i think the strat is great and i know tim is digging the tone big time.

the sg was sweet, but the strat is too. i think i have the same model strat (american deluxe?) I like how the strat gives a bit more zappa to his sound (even though zappa used SGs too)

in the future, itd be cool if he had the SG running again and used both

Always been a humbucker man, myself (though my first electric axe was an East German Strat copy, which a mate modded to give me a switchable out-of-phase tone). Use an Epiphone 335 copy now, which I got cause Jorma used one. Always been surprised Tim didn\'t move towards the PRS style as so many other fusion/proggy guiatrists have, although I think many such guitars tend to give a samey sound. To me, some of the best guitarists have used something a little different - Jerry\'s Melody Maker, Steve Howe and Ted Nugent\'s Gibson archtops etc. Correct me if I\'m wrong , but doesn\'t Jon Gutwillig of the biscuits use a semi too? I seem to remember seeing a pic a while back.

Personally, I would love to see Tim get the SG back, but the I have to admit the Strat seems to be doing alright - is Adrian missing it though?

In a similiar vain, does anyone know Ron\'s setup?  I\'m mostly interested in his instrument.
