charlie brown Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Actually you were right the first time. The G-400 Vintage had aged fret markers' date=' a bound fingerboard and a one-piece neck. It was also more expensive. They eventually replaced it with the Faded G-400, which usually doesn't have the fingerboard binding. There may be a lot of NOS G-400 Vintage models kicking around which adds to the confusion. Original G-400 Vintage on the right: [img']http://www.marantatech.com/Graphix/threesgs.jpg[/img] Man, Spud...talk about "brainwashed?!" Everytime I see your SG's together, like that...I IMMEDIATELY go to the Gibson! The "headstock" on the others, just looks wrong! LOL!! Seen individually, it never seems as bad/big a deal, etc. But, together....The Gibson wins, everytime! I know it's because it's the "original" shape, and company that produced the SG, but it's amazing how ingrained that "tradition" can be, at times...

iansmitchell Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 I actually prefer the epi headstocks and tuners. What are those extra switches on the gibby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill V Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Same Day Music advertises the Vintage G-400 and the pic shows it with a bound neck. They have it in Worn Brown and Worn Cherry and it's price at $299. Check it out. http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--EPIG400V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansmitchell Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hmmm. Worn brown might be a nice choice, seeing as I have 2 red guitars already.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
