baxter Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Whats the difference between a special faded sg and the standard sg or any other type for that matter? This is a total different question. Does anyone know what happened to Hendrix's white strat that he used at woodstock? I googled it with no prevail. Shoot me for asking these questions if you have to, because I will fully understand. -Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got something like 1.2 million, dunno who owns it now. The faded has twin 490 uncovered pickups, and a satin finish, the Standard has the 490/498 combo, the VOS's have '57 Classics I believe, standards got binding on the neck I dont think the faded does trap inlays on the ST. fadeds got dots.

Tim Plains Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Faded SGs don't have a gloss finish, the other SGs do. My personal favorite of the bunch is the Standard, but they all sound and look great. A lot of the guys here will tell you the 61 Reissue is the best. It's all a matter of personnel preference. Visually, the 61 stands out the most due to it's 1/2 sized pick guard. Go to Gibson.com and checkout all the different models. We're always here if you have any other questions. Here's a pic of my Standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baxter Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 I can't wait to get such nice guitars. But in the meanwhile I have a question I know this is the Gibson boards, but I was wondering what is the difference between a Highway One fender strat and the normal ones. I see somes neck is all one not two seprate pieces of wood is that the difference? Thanks. EDIT- Can anyone help me find when my faded sg was made serial number 009360468?

baxter Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks that makes sense. I went to the gibson site to find out how to 'crack the code' but whatever thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eracer_Team Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hmmm as this is a gibson board, interesting you'd ask about a Fender Hwy1 or any Fender.. Just check out Fender [dot] com Hwy1's are the first price level Made in America guitars, they have thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish lets the body wood's natural tone shine through. Fenders solid maple necks have a 'skunk strip' hardwood running down the back of the nect so they can install the truss rod, other necks say that have a rosewood fret board will have the truss rod install from the front under the rosewood cap. Why all the fender questions on a Gibson board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarJunkie Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Besides the pickups and the finish, there are a few other cosmetic differences. The Standard has a bound neck, pearl trapezoid inlays, and a pearl headstock logo. The faded has an unbound neck with dot markers and a silkscreened (sticker?) logo.
