mucklup Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 These are photos of a supposed Gibson SG Bass. Aside from the missing frets (?), I am questioning the bolt on neck, cheesy looking tuners and bridge. Is this legit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdaddy Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Where are you seeing a bolt on neck? Looks like a 70s EB0 to me. Legit except for the can of white WalMart spray paint. Can't say about the tuners and bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesh Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 These are photos of a supposed Gibson SG Bass. Aside from the missing frets (?), I am questioning the bolt on neck, cheesy looking tuners and bridge. Is this legit? Can't be sure, as the photos on my current screen are quite small...but that doesn't look like a bolt on neck. There are no bolts; the silver thing on the heel is the strap button, and is normally placed for an SG type guitar. It looks like either the neck or body have been refinished at some point, which is why there's a colour difference. And from the other photos it looks it's lost the actual metal frets on that end of the fretboard; note the position inlay after the last fret remaining, and what looks like grooves in the timber where the missing frets should be.

mucklup Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 You're absolutely right about the neck. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm willing to take a chance for $150 and try to refinish it as a project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yes, you must! Just get rid of the white and wipe the whole thing down with some wipe-on polyurethane. If you need a little inspiration, here's a junk SG I re-did a couple years ago: Here's a '72. Look familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 The bridge is original. The tuners are aftermarket Schallers. The frets were likely pulled because it was fretting out with low action. Other than the paint it doesn't look back. It's the original knobs and pickup. Doesn't look to have been butchered up with crazy routs or anything. For $150 you better buy it. It you don;t let me know where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prestachuck Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Definitely an EB0. Buy it. Refinish, refret, set-up, and jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
