rockman82 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 There's about a 56 dollar difference between the Gibson SG Special and Gibson SG Standard on Guitar Center. What's up with that? The pricings on these guitars are crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmiJAMM Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 My advice? Spend the extra 56 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman82 Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 I'll consider it when i get a career in the Navy going. Wait, mine will be left handed. That means more money tacked on for labor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG fan 420 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 You do know that $1055 for the Standard is the blemished price, don't you?? And the Special is the shiney model, the faded is $699. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman82 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yeah i know the faded is a bit cheaper. That was just the special. No, i didn't know that. I certainly know that's not the lefty price though. > Leftys are always $300 more than the righty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG fan 420 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 If you look around sometimes you can find leftys on close-out pretty cheap. The cheaper price is for scratch and ding merch, IMO, if you're going to buy scratch and ding, you might as well buy used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Most of the time scratch and dent instruments aren't scratched or dented. They are usually just guitars that have been returned. That means the owner probly had it for a very short time and took care of it. Who beats up a brand new Gibson? Also it could be a scratch or mark on the case. Who cares about that? Not me. Scratch n dent is cool. Buying used is great. I just bought a used amp and I got a sweet deal and I'm really happy with the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman82 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yeah. Different lefty models are easier to find used. Gibson just doesn't offer that much off of the market. They have in the past, but only a few models are sold through GC as of right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refurbished is always the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 my SG Standard was "scratch n dent". I can't find a scratch nor a dent on it. saved $150 for buying a return. did it before, I'd do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
