Rushview Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 The Search Bar is your friend. But anyways, look at this thread. Gibson Website - SG Special Faded Features Gibson Website - SG Standard Features How To Use Google End Thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max2343 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Install yourself a 498T in the Bridge Position & and a 500k Pot and you Got Yourself a Standard minus Binding with a Better Pot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps25814 Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 isnt theneck different though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Binding is the créme plastic that covers the edges of the fretboard on the Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps25814 Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 oh yeha i like the binding but the neck is different because the faded brown has a bronwish neck like dark brown and the standard necks r like basically black so theyre problly a little different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 The color has nothing to do with the neck. The Faded Special comes in worn brown or worn cherry and I think ebony (black) now. The Standard comes in either Heritage Cherry or Ebony and now Classic white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps25814 Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 but do u think the standard is 200 bucks bette rthna the faded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIANTRobOT420 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 The Standard has a thicker finish so the neck is considerably smoother.I'd get the Standard but you should follow your heart skippy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Im pretty sure the price difference us more than $200 but yes it's definately worth it. Did you watch that YouTube video? The Standard sounded WAY better (although that guy sucked at guitar). It obviously looks way better. And IMO it feels better. I feel that the Standard is superior in every way. By the way... let's not forget about the Classic. It's a fine high quality guitar. And it has p90s! P90s are amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Robinson Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I would try a Standard out before you sell your faded in case the neck does nt suit and yes the Standard is a much better guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 ^^^ This video. Also you can probably get about $500 for your Faded if you live in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps25814 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 i could actually get more i bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 i could actually get more i bet for a used faded? what are you smoking? they currently sell for $700 NEW on Musicians friend. $600 if you are lucky, $500 or less is more realistic. A NEW standard is still $1200, or $1300 for the white with coil taps. You might be able to score a used one for $800, but you'll have to search.

ps25814 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 im saying after a while i oculd get 600 and i found a standard for 800 one for 850 and a few for 900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 800 is a sweet price for a Standard. Honestly, 1200 & 1300 are great prices for a new one. Yeah put you faded up for sale. Make sure you try the guitar before you buy it. There are some major duds out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps25814 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 ok dub i will buy guitar from craigslist than and if i buy used of guitarcenter.com is there like a 30 day period in which i cna take it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I'm not sure what GCs return policy is regarding used gear. In my experienced they are über overpriced when it comes to used stuff. But if you found a good deal then that's cool. Are you getting a cherry one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps25814 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 i found 2 standards for 900 bucks which i think is alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
