Yours is not Heritage Cherry; it's Faded Cherry. Here's one of each.

Those are some awesome looking SG's. Hey Sellen,

Can you post pics of all your SG's? Please.

[sparky scott 29]

Those sure are great looking guitars guys...

[Dub-T-123]

There is definately a lot of variations in darkness but using photos to see this isn't very effective.

 

The lighting in pictures can make a huge difference.

[Lungimsam]

Thanks guys, awesome SG's. Yes, the lighting can make a big difference. I see the faded and heritage cherrys are different. Thanks for the info. That would explain why mine is so much lighter than the others I have seen.

 

Anyone seen one in "wine" red? Is that darker than the Heritage Cherry?

Here's a pic of my SG-3. It is basically a 61 RI with 3 pups and a 6 way rotary switch. Notice how the second piece of wood at the left took a different shade frome the stain. This is only noticeable when I use the flash. It's kind of odd the way they made it. Alot of guitars have the splice in the center of the guitar. I wonder if that effects the way a guitar sustains?

Wine red is available on the gloss SG Specials and it is darker than both Faded and Heritage Cherry.

 

I love the way Faded Cherry looks on those Historic '61s but I prefer a darker red for "Batwing" SGs.

Wow triple post sorry. My iPhone freaked out!

[Dub-T-123]

Sorry. No delete button any more.

How come noone got it with the maestro vibrola?

How come noone got it with the maestro vibrola?

so you installed yours, or is it a STD reissue?

[Lungimsam]

so you installed yours, or is it a STD reissue?

 

 

It came with it from the factory. In 2001 they were offering the '61 reissue with or without the maestro lyre vibrola. I guess they stopped for some reason, which I don't understand, as it adds so much more coolness to it. I am just glad I got one of them.

Here is mine...

 

Beautiful SG.
