Mateus Brito Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hi! I traded an epiphone les paul, marshall amp and a delay pedal on a gibson SG, the problem is I don't know wich exactely is my guitar model ( I look dumb trading a guitar that I don't know the model but still a good deal). What puzzles me is that the input jack is in the side and the pickup selector key is on the right of the knobs. It has g force tuners, the bridge have some kind of hardware at the bottom, the input jack is a neutrik locking input, and locking straps. I tried contact gibson with 4 different e-mail (sometimes the asked some photos and never hitted me back or didn't answered my e-mails), I also tried the send some messages. I am starting to think I got a "chibson." Thanks, Mateus. (019880332 is the code number, I will try to send some pictures) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) To me.. It's an odd one that serial number would indicate it's 2008. from Guitar Dater: Your guitar was made at the Nashville Plant, TN, USA on July 16th, 2008 Production Number: 32 if that's the case, maybe it's been modified a bit, where some one added tronical auto tuners which I don't think were around in 2008. really no clue what the idea behind that jack is. it's not in the traditional place either, what is under that plate in the back ? Pickup voicing switches? may want to check with Customer service, see what ya really got there if no one seems to know Edited August 19, 2020 by kidblast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mateus Brito Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 I just figured out that the bridge is a TONE MONSTER TB012 Piezo Transducer Guitar Bridge TOM Tune-O-Matic SEB3P Preamp ( ???????) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will at least give you enough to know that it is started life as USA Made SG.. Edited August 19, 2020 by kidblast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mateus Brito Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 The truss rod is original. This picture may help find out whats the original model by the back cover shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 unmistakably that was done at the factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGgypsyboy Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Looks like an early Robot SG. Yours is missing the original Robot tailpiece and the tuners are different than these. Edited August 19, 2020 by SGgypsyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
