Thorarinn Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hi I just bought a Gibson SG Faded Tribute 2019 (color, worn ebony). As far as I can tell it's made for the Japanese market as I haven't been able to find any information on the official Gibson website. Has anyone here ever heard of this guitar? Is it possible to find any information on Gibson guitars solely made for the asian market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHoneycutt Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Hey man, how is that guitar? I've seen them come up on eBay too, and was wondering if it was legit. (PS sorry no one responded) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorarinn Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hi Johnny. It's a really good guitar. As good as any other SG I've played in this price range. I wrote to Gibson, forwarded pictures and serial number, and they confirmed the following:.... made in Nashville, Tennessee in 2019. The guitar looks genuine for as far as we can see on the pictures. This model was made for the Japanese Market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damianl Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hi, I wanted to buy SG Faded in WB colour but unfortunately it’s no longer available. So I found this model and it’s also looks amazing on photos but can you upload real pic of your personal model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) I do not have a pic of my Faded or my Std., I owned. I only have a pic of my SG Special. The Faded was a killer guitar. I just bought the neck and body off ebay or Reverb and built it how I wanted it. I liked my Special the best out of all the ones I owned. Edited April 25, 2020 by Sgt.

There was a time in Henry's reign before JC, I counted and there were over 100 LP models on their site and about 30 different J-45's. How many different things can you do to one guitar to make it a different model? Its got a different color pick guard its a different model.
