Pesho shefa Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hey there! I am currently looking to buy a Gibson SG Faded and I have found what looks to be a good offer. I would like to get some expert opinion on whether the guitar is not fake. I would greatly appreciate any info concerning the instrument and I will gladly take any advice about my eventual move to buy it lol This is the add: http://bazar.muzikant.org/gibson-sg-faded,183530.html The serial number looks to be 026450678 And here are some photos: Thanks!

ksdaddy Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Looks perfectly fine to me. The SG faded is a great guitar; I've had two and I actually prefer it to the SG Standard. They seem like they're "all business" and I never had the feeling like I had to be careful with it....just play it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZuWa Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Looks legit. The pickups have adjustable pole pieces whereas most of the fakes have two rows of slugs. The serial number decodes to a manufacture date of September 21, 2005. The bridge looks like it is mounted the correct way, that is, on posts sunk into the top and adjusted by thumbscrews. The headstock logo and control knobs look right too. Good luck with whatever you decide to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
