Thanks for the input. There's the maple fretboard as well instead of rosewood, I doubt this model will hold its value as well as the heritage cherry ones. The guitar in question has its share of dents already--it's third hand--but the seller refuses to go lower than 17% off the retail price. Also it was listed as Heritage Cherry first.. could be a genuine mistake.. but I think I'll stay on the lookout for now

Many thanks, I see. I like it. Wear seems to be comparable to the one in Bill's link--I'd pay close to $100 less though, some of which would go into insured shipping.. Is it a decent price even for the Satin finish? I haven't read bad things about 2012 as a Gibson year..

Hi, I've been offered a 2012 '61 Reissue SG. The seller sent me some nice close ups (I attached one) where the wood texture seems to be much more prominent than what I've seen on a Standard or, e.g., in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K00Vfzc_mgU In the video it looks much more glossy, Ferrari-like. Is it just the lighting? I mean, the texture in the photo looks beautiful, I'm mainly worried if it's genuine. It certainly looks high quality and the Serial Number checks out to 2012.
