AS90 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Thats how they looked in the late 80s/early 90s, also, the jack is on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Or, it could possibly be one of the Chinese counterfeit Gibsons we're hearing about.......can you show us a pic of the headstock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Nevermind, I followed the link (after waking up ) looks legit to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Nazarenie Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 mine had the jack on the side. i like it better that way. i ruined my g400 by stepping on the cable and cracking the paint stuff around the jack on the surface of the guitar. i heard that the wood is very thin there too.

ant7629 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I used to have one like this... in wine red. It was 1983 I think. Switch/jack just like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubstar Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 I don't mind the side jack, but that toggle switch just looks wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskank Sally Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/msg/807627775.html toggle switch placement? That SG style guitar was always called an SG2 where I come from. Norlin era confection...and for a short time they believed that would be the way the SG would be manufactured from then on. Glad they didn't keep to it. Angus played one in 1981... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubstar Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 "Doesn't that mean one less plate in the back?" um, I don't know...my SG only has one back plate to begin with...maybe I don't understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norlin era confection...and for a short time they believed that would be the way the SG would be manufactured from then on. Glad they didn't keep to it. Angus played one in 1981... You must come from Mars...The SG-2 was an early 70's model with a wrap around stop tail piece and the controls mounted on a plastic plate and screw-on Les Paul single cut shape pickguard...I know, I had one. Angus may have had one too but I think you're confusing the SG-2 with the model called the SG-62 made from 1985 (which Young did sort of endorse- "Fastest Neck In The World") until they changed the model name in 1986 to The" '62 Reissue" (which I currently have) and then to the "'61 Reissue" in the early 90's ('92?) I think, but I'm not absolutely certain that the guitar the original poster is asking about was simply called "The SG" and was around in the early 90's but you know, I really don't recall the jack being side-mounted on that model but that doesn't mean anything because I really can't say much for certain about that particular model. The SG-2 and the SG-62, yes, know all about them. That particular model, no. I did notice that they replaced the original machine heads on the CL SG with Grovers. It probably came with Kluson-style machines with screw-in grommets. I went and did a little research and that knob/switch configuration (similar) was used in the early 80's and that was called the SG "Standard" but those had block inlays ...hmmmm.... A bit more research...it's legit...that model was called the "SG Standard" and was like that from 1986 until about 1992.. and it only took five edits lol...
