I guess it depends on the video (who's doing it, what purpose is it for). It's not uncommon to obscure brands and not just guitars. In movies and shows when you see actors using cameras, the brand is taped over with black tape so you can't see what they are using. (Canon, Nikon, etc) Also if you watch cooking shows, when they use things like Bourbon, you don't ever see the label, you can usually tell what it is if you drink the stuff b/c most of the bottles have some shape to distinguish the brand. (don't ask me how I know this..) Yes, I see your point, but I'm also referring to when someone puts up a tutorial for a song on YouTube, It's that person's personal guitar and he/she is not in the business of selling guitars at all. Anyway, I find it a bit much. Maybe I'll follow up on that when I'm in charge of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully as it was an auction situation you didn't pay a real lot money for it. And you mentioned in the first post that it played well and sounded good. So enjoy it, play it. The fact that it is not a "real" Gibson doesn't mean you can't make good music and enjoy it. For what little ear I have, it seems to play well enough. And, as you say, it's the playing, the making of music, that's important to enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IzzyDoesIt Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Not to beat a dead horse, but I found the same serial number on an Angus Young Chibson SG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JO'C Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Yeah there was a fake Gibson Johnny Smith at an auction a few months ago with the same S/N. It's quite famous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JO'C Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Someone pointed out to the auction house that it was fake so they changed to listing to "replica Gibson Johnny Smith" They still got a winning bid of $650 plus 15% buyer premium. A real one is worth 10 times that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
