Meet the Lizurd!
With Fender being proper assholes right now, I spent the last few weeks going all over town trying out SGs and Les Pauls. I quickly found I have a strong preference for the the SG neck profile, as well as the way the body sits and aligns with my body. The selection of SGs was surprisingly limited across 6 Guitar Centers and a couple local shops. I found basically everything about the Gibson superior to the Epiphone. Eventually landed on the '61 Standard in Translucent Teal.

My first car was a '74 Datsun 260z, in emerald green, with a custom license plate. So this finish really connected with me. I usually go for a classic burst style (tobacco, bourbon, iced tea) so it's nice to add a little variety in the collection.
Fully intend to replace the tuners. I have Graph Tech locking ratio tuners on my Epiphone 335, probably stick with those on this.
