SGdad Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hello, A little background. I know next to nithing about guitars and don't play. I'm only here to help my son learn about guitars. He started playing about 1 1/2 years ago and recently upgraded to a Gibson SG Standard. I want to also get him a LP and have been looking around for a used one. I came accross a LP that does not have the bridge and tailpiece. The guy says the wiring is also bad. The guy is pretty vauge about the guitar so my BS meter is up. My questions to you are? What's the approximate year and style of this guitar? (remember I know nothing about these) How much would a bridge, tailpiece and wiring cost? How hard is it to replace this stuff? I kinda thought if the price was right I may buy it and fix it up, or have someone fix it up... This is all the info I have on it at this point, I'm trying to get more. Here are some pics.

Thundergod Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi, welcome to the forum. Do you have better pics? The guitar looks strange to me (mainly because of the custom fretboard inlays). If you can, ask the guy what model it is, and for pics of the headstock and closer pics of the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGdad Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thanks for the welcome. This is all I got so far. I have already requested more info and pics of the neck joint and head stock, but haven't got it yet. One thing I forgot to mention was that he says it is approximately 40 years old, if that helps...

GuitarJunkie Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I hope he's not claiming it's a Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGdad Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 No he does not claim its a Gibson, at least not yet... I asked him that in an e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGdad Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Cancel the help request. The guy says it is made by "Global", so I'm not interested anymore. Though maybe I was gonna get a sweet deal on a Gibby or at least an Epi. Oh well, thanks for the help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I hope he's not claiming it's a Gibson. That's what I was aiming for :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
