dmanly Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hey just checking to see if anyone has seen an SG faded cherry or any SG faded model with the Les Paul logo like this. I know in 1961 the SG was introduced as a Les Paul and Gibson has done some reissues of higher up SG models but I have never seen a Faded model with this logo and think it may be a factoryUnofficial Dark fire Manual 1_22_2009.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg50 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I think it's a factory misprint. But I think the factory, in this case, is a Chinese knock-off facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btoth76 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hello! Yes, that doesn't looks fake at all. Someone just added the "Les Paul" silk-screening to the - otherwise - plain headstock. Yes, You can buy those decals... Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg50 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 maybe it's the jpeg, but the Gibson wordmark on the head stock doesn't look right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
665 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 It definitely seems to be a real Gibson but I have no clue why they would put that on the headstock - usually the headstock is left blank below the Gibson logo on that model. I am in no way an expert in this but it could likely be a production error where they silkscreened the LP faded headstock pattern onto the SG faded - who knows, maybe an entire batch was made this way by accident?
