max2343 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Couldn't Pass on This Faded SG for 299.99 with a Oddball Hardshell Case. It Should be Here in a Couple of Days. Good Deal or What? It's Going to Look Great Oiled or Waxed Down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpdeluxe Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Very nice. I have a Faded (also brown) that I bought new, and I think it's well worth what I paid for it. Rock on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max2343 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Yo lpdeluxe, dude. How Much you pay for yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Very nice deal. I can't really see the grain in the first picture but the grain on the back is beautiful. I would also put covers on the pickups. Much classier look IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max2343 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Can Anyone Tell by Looking at the Back of it Where the Seams Are, I Cant. I Thought they Were 2 and 3 piece Bodies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max2343 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 I See Where your Talking About. It Kinda "Y's in the Grain, but I Really Can't Tell if thats another Piece. It Still Looks Like one Piece but I'm Grain Blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynvolt Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Nice find. Faded's aren't ALL multi piece, mine isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Thought they Were 2 and 3 piece Bodies?[/quote']That is/was mostly LPs that have/had 2-3 piece bodies. The SG (and the original '57 Customs, of which the whole body was made from one huge, solid piece of mahogany) feature a one-piece body...well at least the many that I've seen/owned did. I think Epi SG bodies are made from multiple pieces though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpdeluxe Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Yo lpdeluxe' date=' dude. How Much you pay for yours?[/quote'] When they were going for $899, I got it for $750. Now they're down to $699, which is reasonable for a US-made Gibson. I have to say, mine has no issues, and if I didn't have a 335 and a Les Paul, I'd play it all the time.

Everything else is/can be 2 or more, including '61RIs & Standards. Actually, I recall reading that the cheaper SGs can be as much as 5-piece bodies.

Dub-T-123 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I see two. One of them looks really sweet. I would absolutely pay 300 buck for that. I'd probly put a Bigsby on it and change the pickups. Do all those mods I'm too scared to do with my Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmiJAMM Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Looks like a single piece to me. I don't see a line or seam or anything back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I can clearly see it. You can tell more easily from the front. The seam is a little off center and the grain looks like it could be one piece. It's 2 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max2343 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Like I Said, I can't See Any Seams But Even a 2 piece Body is Pretty Damn Good Considering Standards Have-em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max2343 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 I Got Another Great Deal Today By the Way. A 05 Gibson Les Paul Special SL Model in Black with the 490/498T Covered Combo no Case 299.99. Photo's Tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
